    Been on a few solo holidays, the only real problem is rubbing suntan lotion on your back.

    Have fun.


    There may well be plenty of volunteers:D and make sure you get a pic of whoever rubs it in to show hubby on your return

    I think I'd leave extra early just to make sure he DIDN'T join you!

    Go and have a ball OP x
    Some days you're the dog..... most days you're the tree! :D

    As someone else said carry on your plans as usual and call a friend and talk about how excited you are and how amazing the weather is gonna be there etc etc.. so that he knows you'd quite happily go without him...then leave all his stuff ready for him so he knows you still want him to go so he can't have a huff about that!

    If it comes to tomo and he's still a stubborn a ss!! then go and have a great time!!

    If youve actually got to the point where youre looking forward to going alone - Hide His Passport, just in case he changes his mind lol
    make the most of it, we are only here for the weekend.
    and we will never, ever return.

    Engineer a situation where he can change his mind without losing face and act like the argument never happened.

    To do anything else invites trouble and heartache.

    He says he is going now

    He has done this before although we had not actually booked a holiday, but i had booked the 2 weeks off from work.

    I went to the travel agents and said what is the cheapest holiday going out tomorrow, they came up with one for £99 so I booked it.

    I cried my eyes out at the airport cos I didn't know anyone and I was terrified of flying, but i still went.

    I had a fab time met loads of people and had loads of fun.


    But....that was 20 years ago and I used to be a size 10 :o

    however, I have got a good book and I would still go if I had to

    Call his bluff next time, the moment he says 'Im not going' in a hissy fit, get on the phone, in front of him, ring the travel agents and
    then pass the phone to him, tell him to cancel his place personally.

    bloody prima donna,
    make the most of it, we are only here for the weekend.
    and we will never, ever return.

    You've not said if he's being OK with you or if he's still being a sulky boy.

    I really do hope that you have a great holiday.
    If worst comes to worst, just leave him to it and do your own thing.
