How to feel like you're on holiday when you're not?

I'm really craving a week (or several) in the sun but have no plans for holidays this year. How can I recreate that holiday feeling at home?

Get to the point where you want to divorce your DH, have your DC adopted, and can't wait to be back at work, then you'll feel like you've had a week away Grin

Look up how to make your fave holiday cocktail, get the ingredients and then ask your DH or DC to keep 'em coming Grin

Daytime drinking, eating out every night, wear new white trainers and go and have a pint at the airport at 6am.

Go to Aldi in your Bikini and flip flops?

Then just buy Manchego cheese and chorizo.

Buy a bag of sand and place little bits everywhere you can think of. Tip some in your shoes, spread it all over your bath towel, sprinkle in your hair. Grin

A big Yay to afternoon drinking Grin

All food ordered in. Buy a cheap, second hand hot tub - should be able to get one for £150 on eBay. Pile of books/magazines. Go on PROPER days out, get a megabus somewhere. Splash out on one night by your nearest seaside and eat fish and chips on the pier, stay in a B and B.

Wear a bikini and sit in the garden. Have a barbecue.

Get some coconut smelling moisturier: instant holiday!

No cooking... takeaways, eating out for lunch, afternoon spent in a nice beer garden with nibbles from the bar. Things really should be deep fried.
