I know how you feel.
Been out of work for a few weeks and the Carlton (Omega A!) is sitting in his garage raring to go after alot of work to get it ready for Billing, which it was, but no money to legally get it there.
Simply cannot see the point of t&t to do a few miles if the sun comes out.

Haven't been able to go away since 1992 - it gets more managable after a while as you tend to forget what civilised behaviour is really like

My mortgage will not holiday, that doesn't help, my breakdown coverage has just finished.

All I can hope for is a small lottery win - well bigger than last weeks £10

Same here Martin. You have my sympathy.

My youngest (6) wants a few days at Skegness over the summer hols.
Its bloody killing me to deny him the small things he enjoys like that.
Personally I would rather not go Skeg at all. 

Mate i feel for you, and your little un.....

This has been the first year we have been able to afford a proper continental holiday, driving over to Normandy for a week in May, and it was worth all the saving up we did to see the happiness on our 2 lads (11 and 2 yrs old) faces when they realised they were getting on the cross channel ferry for real this time instead of just sitting in a car watching ships come and go like we used to........!!!!

My theory is that you work hard all year so why not treat them to at least a few days away, where ever that may be.......??

Got the rest of the year to work enough to pay it all off if you have to.......?

Even a day in Skeggy is better than nothing for the kids mate........

Best wishes with it, its a difficult situation to be in.....

 

Thanks Webby. Its funny though. When they are that age they are satisfied by the simplest things 

Baking a cake, ice cream from the ice cream van, a short bike ride; even holding my ladder whilst I clean a window.

That little smile is always there and I love him for it 

Bless him mate

2 weeks off - can't afford to go away

Need tyres on the caravan £90 I don't have

been out of work since february and used up 6k of savings so far.  Things are poo across the country.
im just lucky i have a couple of motors to sell

[TheBoy]

Would it help, Martin Imber, if I take a photo and send it to you when I'm down there in September

I will of course be trying the delights on Ann's Pasties, not to mention Philps in Hayles. And cream tea in Sithney.

As we're only taking a tent, it will be a cheap break for us, petrol being the biggest (and first time for 2 yrs that we've taken the MV6 down instead of tractor).


That said, I am going to be spending £650 on wheels (refurbishing), tyres and alignment in next couple of weeks. Ouch

Hey TB -- if you see anything with 6 swallows on it, (three rows; 3 at the top, then 2 and 1) can you grab us a pic ?

Missing the beach, Roskillys, and a few other places

why not ditch the burger van for a tent?

Get better mpg going to your destination, they are very cheap to run, no tyres!! and you won't be annoying any other motorists 

Would it help if i said i am planning on 2 more holidays this year, brining the total to 4

I like camping, it has not of the hassles or expensive of owning a burger van. You still get to be out in the country, and i personally find it more roomy. I have been in caravans and the beds are just too short and it feels all pokey inside. You can get some HUGE tents, much bigger than a van.

Shove it all the boot, and do a steady 90 err i mean 70 on the way back

Probably not. Some people have more to worry about than themselves ie their family!

Got a shower & toilet - we stay places that such fascilities do not exist.

When money is better we hope to buy a half tent of size 925 with a sleeping annex for the twins

Then you need to change where you stay! 

I have been to some campsites have excellent facilities, brand new toilet blocks that are very big, showers, stayed at one that had brand new Inferred started Urinals
