What's a holiday?
I haven't been abroad in nearly 5 years  :'(
We have 2 kids, age 6 and 2, after the experience of taking the first on holiday when she was very young we decided to wait until there a bit older.
It's stressful enough going to butlins let alone another country...


i have at least 3 holidays a year.usually a few weeks in the sun and a weekend break.planning on 4 holidays a year next year.lifes too short to work all the time.

no kids though. :)


Stop rubbing it in dazmond  :P

Tunisia for me in a few weeks. Can't wait.

Your right about the motivation. I'm determined to be bang up to date with work before I go.

Nothing worse than going on holiday already behind schedule.

i hope your missus isnt a stunner mate or she ll get a lot of mither off the men in tunisia.nightmare mate.egypt just as bad!creepy. ::)roll
price higher/work harder!

5* London weekend, Lake District long weekend booked and I'm trying to blag the Mrs that we should have a fortnight in Spain in August. Usually go to Greece for 2 weeks but will give it a miss this year, too hot for a 6 month old.

Oh and I'm considering jumping on a Stag to Ibiza in September, might see you there Dazmond!  ;D

Motivation was half of the reason I went for it today, fed with weather being the other half. I've been struggling to get back into it after the 2 weeks at xmas and the crap weather so thought I need a target to reach, plus my son finishes GCSE exams in Aug so want to give him a nice break aswell lying on a beach reminding him of how much spare time he'll have during college to get licking them windows  :D

struggling to get back into it after 2 week xmas break?its the middle of feb FFS!!! ;D ;D

im up to date with all work after tomorrow from before xmas(including 2 monthly jobs)bar a couple of jobs booked in for next week.its a nice feeling.

i very rarely suffer with low motivation these days and i havent for years now.

Lol. I love it how the english say that about the arabic countries.
First time I went the locals were all over my Mrs for a couple of days. Didn't really bother me.
By day 3 she'd had enough though.
All you have to do is be friendly but firm. Soon as you say or do something to that affect, the locals are good as gold.
Israel was much worse that Egypt. They are very sexist there. Jordan was probably the best of those area of countries. Turkey is similar to Egypt.
I won't start on Saudi.  ::)roll

I got offered 250 camels for my missus last time we were in Egypt. Haha.

My experience is similar to pole king to be honest, if your firm and tell the locals where to go then they are good as gold, and very hospitable. Plus the fact im 6"2, 15 stone, with a shaved head probably helps. Lol.

In Egypt she was getting hassled but as soon as they realised she was married then they were absoloutely fine.it Can be a bit un nerving at first if you Havnt experienced it before though.

Tunisia is actually better then Egypt in that the street sellers and traders don't follow you around. They've got a line they can't cross, they can only try and get your attention to cons into their shop. They are terrified of the police over there too, and police keep everyone in check.

4* all inclusive resort anyway, so I doubt I'll be leaving the bar much this holiday. 😄

No mate.
 I wanted to. But Tamsin refused.
She was worried a bit about getting shot or something as we had had quite a turbulent time in Jerusalem earlier.
Then we found out about the clothing thing-I don't know why, I assumed it was more like Dubai. As in if you were local or a follower of the faith you had to cover up, but not tourists. Wrong assumption.
