Even with that TK, 3 bairns under 5 to the west coast of america ain't gonna happen. We just managed (with in law assitance) 2 to Majorca this year!


I will get there one day, but I'd like the youngest to be at least 5. Maybe do it for the big 50.

Aye , once you have the 3 kids holidays become very expensive.
My oldest is 14 and youngest is 10 so we need 2 rooms. Cost us £3000 for 10 days in Menorca this year !! :shock: And that's not unusual. I spent hours trying to get a suitable cheaper deal but there was nothing available. Won't be going anywhere next year.

Aye I know, we weren't too far off for 7 days! I've always been tempted by a holiday home ( In Scotland). We spend about £1K a year on a cottage and that holiday was £2K. A wee butt'n'ben would be tickety boo.

In fact we were going to go for a weekend away recently, hydro kids type thing. I was thinking £200 or so, cheapest was nearly £400 and goign up to a grand furra a weekend!

Yup similar here, I'm paying for the missus to take my daughter and pals to london to see a show - thought it would be around £500 but that only really covers the transport and hotel, show tickets another £240 and apparently they need to eat too!

with 14 days to go before I become a parent I have to say you guys are selling it so well......

Cheapest holidays with kids seem to the French campsite ones. I've got a few mates have done them and say they're great. Just need to make sure and pick a campsite near some good trails!

Have you missed the news in the past month or so?

 

[The Ken]

Oh and the cheapest holidays with kids tends to be packing them off to granny's for a week and then getting in weeks worth of ready meals from M&S for me and the missus

Do you mean I should have said France is good as long as it isn't with someone else's kids?

although laughing is sick

I'm in the dark as to TK's comment also if it doesn't refer to this latest event but I have been off radar for near a month :roll:
