    It didnt say you couldnt take trailers did it?
    I thought that was only in the Camper van area...

    Oh, I might have misunderstood that then - I thought it meant you couldn't take cars onto site at all, therefore no trailers/caravans.

    Yep, £155 per adult, but kids 10 and under are free. Not TOO bad for a full weekend I guess, if the activities are free - but maybe you have to pay for some stuff, haven't read the whole thing yet.

    Sal, it sounds like he is struggling to accept it is over. I think that's fairly normal. I had been telling Stu for about 2 years that I was unhappy and if things didn't change our marriage would be over, but I don't think he ever really thought it would happen, and he really struggled to accept it.

    He wanted to live in the camper on the drive for a few months, to give us both 'space', then he didn't want to sign a 6 month contract for a rented house in case we worked it out...it took a good few weeks for him to realise the split was permanent.

    There's no reason you couldn't go and visit him, in time. But for now, maybe say something like you think B needs time to get used to you not being together before you start going to visit, otherwise it will confuse her. That way, you are reinforcing the message that the marriage is over, but not closing the door to a friendship once you are all used to the new situation?


    Yes I think you are right...I just find it very very strange, how can he possibly think that we would be able to continue a marriage where a) he's cheated and saying he loves someone else and B) is now located 5 hours away with the prospect of seeing each other for 1 day every fortnight!

    He seriously is living in cloud cuckooland

    Bun,
    I'm going to want pointers from you. I finish in about 10 working days, and 7 of them are on a Prince 2 course, and we're getting European audited. I'm knackered. Need to get some structure sorted so I'm not just drifting.
