I know comparison is the thief of joy and all that but out of everyone I know (work, friends, friends of friend etc) we are the only ones who can't afford to go away. Everyone is busy sunning themselves and I'm stuck at home with arguing kids and damp and grey skies.

I don't feel like we live beyond our means but do have a mortgage and have to run 2 cars, kids fares to school, kids club fees etc etc. I can't see a time this ever changes. I just work then spend holidays recovering from work with nothing ever to look forward to. Life shouldn't be this shit? I'm not mobile so please don't tell me to go out for a walk bedbugs I bloody can't!

We can't go away either. It sucks!

Can you book a few days away for next August and pay each month?

So blimmin expensive though to go somewhere that's warm. Even with paying monthly.

@mumlovesvodka yep it is, especially when the weather is like autumn. Thinking of getting the blankets and candles out and finding the fairy lights. It's utterly depressing
