a cheap weekend break last weekend of august. am desperateto go away. thought about centre parcs in sherwood froest but its 349 quid for that weekend! can not afford that! help!! dont really wannagoskeg again this year!

Can you get any last minute holiday deals? Dunno where you'd look .. I know my dad used to look on teletext

it depends where you are, you could probably get a cheap weekend in b&b at the seaside...scarborough/whitby is nice. or somewhere in the lakes?

Ermmm, lastminute.com. What do they do?! Soz, just know the name of the site!
Bet there are a few deals to be had though, esp end Aug as that's just b4 schools start back.

I'm useless at remembering things, where abouts in the country are you and how far do you want to go? I know a few places but pointless telling you if they are way too far to travel!

I rang center parcs once and asked them for cancellations and got an ace deal! Bit cheeky I know but!!! (woman on phone wasn't that nice) but they have to try and fill the park up.

I know you said no to skeggy again, have you tried the Haven website - there last minute deals tend to be quite good and you could do - yarmouth, north wales, scarborough???

i would have said center parcs but like you siad still bit pricey!!!

ummm what about haven sites - they are mega child friendly i went with a friends family when little!

or camping?????????????? i seem to remember this isnt your thing!

my friends have just gone away |(booked last week) to spain for 3 nights soooo jealous but couldnt afford it although hubby said i could go! but think they found on teletext!

xx

oh ive thought of good one - norway.... liz get your gorge pad open up for rent! lol

lol, well you will be more than welcome once our basement is converted so we have more room as our sparebedroom is a bit cramped the mo and you can't fit a cot/travel cot in. Got to sort that out before Brens little cousi comes to visit!

I found loads of good deals on www.hotels.co.uk for our trip around europe so it may be worth a look on there? x

we just booked to go to this place next week.

it workeds out really cheap. dont know what it is like yet but seems nice with lots to do.

swede - what a fab picture!

I'm doing the sun holiday again this year - ok so we're going in october and not bank holiday weekend but we had such a fab time last time. zach loved it. Its less than ??40 for the week for all of us (mon - fri) or they do fri-sun. extra for entertainment and electric but it depends where you go on what you pay.
we went to a really great place and had to pay ??5 each for entertainment (not Noah tho) and about 20 quid for the week for the electric and gas.
Its really worth it to get away for a few days.

any of the larger places may have spaces that they will let cheap at the last minute but I don't know about bank holiday weekend. Is there any other time you might be able to get away for a few days?

am gonna try all those suggestions.yeah has to be that weekend cos marks new job has given him a rota til end of year and his days off aint always weekends.

so liz shall see u on the 29th, do i need to bring my own bedding? full board yes? great see you soon xxxxxx haha

damn you all..i want a holiday now! lol!

:lol: No probs!
The full board consists mainly on eating lots of apples and red currants though if that's ok as we have loads to pick in the orchard! Bren has been trying to help me but he prefers trying to eat the red currants than pick them!
On the plus side my hubby does have about 20 litres of red wine and 40 litres of beer currently brewing in the basement! x

Hm..liz if you can do sloe gin homebrew then I'm definately coming over!

Hmmm sorry Kia, we have Juniper trees full of berries so we could do gin but not sloe gin I am afraid! We will have to get some blackthorn planted! :lol:

Aw...shame!
