light hearted ....

we messed up with my leave this year, we went away in april earlier this year and have booked for march next year, not realising its within the 1 annual leave year for work. we are going away with friends in march so no chance of changing this.

we've had a pretty hectic year to be honest with health issues, weddings, babies etc and we decided to book a couple of nights away to unwind and relax.

we've booked a lakeside lodge with a hottub a few hours drive from home and the plan is to just relax, read, walk and eat decent food and we know the weather is going to be questionable but we don't care.

but DH is really beginning to annoy me, and yes i know its petty, but it just proves how exhausted i am, and he keeps talking about our up coming 'holiday".. it's not a bloody holiday its a couple of nights away in a self catered lodge!

AIBU - leave him too it you're exhausted and need the break
YANBU - you are right.. its not a holiday!

A holiday and a break are exactly the same thing!

How long are you away for?

1 to 2 nights is a break
3 to 4 nights a long weekend
5 plus nights a holiday!

In my head anyway.

It's a holiday. If someone only travelled to self catering places in the UK would you say they didn't go on holidays?
