who is going there this year lol..cos I am.

Loads of holibop threads.about.....but for those of us who aren't.......this is for you.......

**or..if you've been to stopathome in the past......did you manage to find anything exciting to make it more interesting? x

think i may have to join you muffy :-D :-D :-D

I'm in good company then Joy lol x

Me,Us is

Holiday+spends+kennels etc too many pennys

I like this thread-I don't have to try & be optimistic on it :-)

I am sure you are not alone Muffy, judging by the letting diary on the apartment our daughter owns in the L District, and others in the house. Lots of empty weeks so far.

Me too Mygate again
:-) :-) :-)

I can imagine Ann :0(

Eeyore...we don't have the worry re kenneling the dogs as parents live round the corner.......but even the most basic holiday is beyond us this year which annoys me a bit tbh ..because I want the family memories....

We'll just have to be content with days at the beach and hope for better days ahead I guess :-|

Unless health takes a dramatic leap - we will join you also - still it is always nice to sleep in your own little bed :-)

Welcome to my virtual holiday home Chris..looks like it's going to be a fair few of us this year x

Yes im going there,
Daughter getting married in AUG so wont have many pennies left afterwards.
my holiday will consist of sitting on the patio on summer nights ,drinking bottle after bottle of my favorite plonk and getting bitten to death by midgies,
oh i cant wait. :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D

pitches tent in muffys garden lights bon fire

and sing ging gan goole goole whats sit ging gan goo

I just read somewhere there's an appartment available in the Lake District???

Squatters Holiday eh? :-D

It is ridiculous what some charge & you can be sure if you start saving the washing machine will die...

On the bright side - rise when you like - won't miss breakfast, will sleep well as not in strange bed, no tummy bug from eating strange food/drink, fancy a piece of toast at 2.00 a.m. - no problem - must say there are a lot of advantages - anyone else think of more?

I thought I was staying in the Shires for a week and you were coming to the Valleys :-D

That is true...if vertical can be maintained... :-D

It's not so much a holiday though...it's a Crip Exchange Trip ;-)

There are agencies where people swop homes - I often thought about it from a convenience point of view but OH never would.

Muffy I can just recall interesting/exciting experiences to do with holidays and no - however if you wish to send a s.a.e I will reply ;-)

If anyone is in Devon and has children - The Donkey Sanctuary is a good days outing and is FREE, absolutely FREE. including car parking. Take a packed lunch, nice grounds - there is the usual shop - pencils and things.

There are other sites around the country but worthwhile checking if free also.

We happened to be there on our wedding anniversay and so adopted a donkey - so now we do not bother with gifts - just stick with the donkey his name is Coco.

That would involve far too much CLEANING

eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeew :-D

Might be an idea of having a thread with places to go and see which do not cost - with or without children.

Crip Exchange Trip :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D

That tickled me ;-)

Yeahhhhh :-D
