To sack off Christmas and go on a luxury spa holiday somewhere nice and hot with beautiful beaches and crystal clear sea

[MrsLyman]

Well I know AIBU as I want to go on my own and I have a baby to BF and a toddler whose Christmas I would hate to miss, but I've had a crap month.

DH has one of those jobs that requires lots of corporate entertaining so have basically been sat at home on my own for a month looking after DSes whilst he eats nice dinners and drinks free booze. He finishes work later today for 2 weeks, and I just feel like handing him the children and heading to the airport.

How lovely would it be to feel the warmth of the sun on my skin with the sea laps over my perfectly pedicured toes whilst I sip on a cocktail, my only stress being whether to have a per-dinner massage or a nap.

Can I come, I could do with some colour in my cheeks?

Cobblers to that. I tried it once. It rained and was miserable. Tropical paradise, my arse.

I was at Le Blanc Spa in Mexico in Oct this year.... Matches your description exactly.

If I close my eyes I can just about imagine I am still there!!! Wishing I was just for a day of sun and relaxation!

YANBU I'll come, leave the squabbling kids, barking dog and rain.

I'll meet you at the airport!

I'm coming too. Just off to get me bits waxed first!

I'll meet you there. I'll be setting off about 10 minutes after the DCs have opened their presents, so about 4.30am.

You'd all be very welcome.

Just googled La Blanc Spa, will now have to google 'how to rob a bank without getting caught'

I'm coming too. Can we go to the Maldives? Oh how I'd love to do this ....

YANBU that sounds luffly, I'd do it if I could!

I'm in

Ohh, that sounds good! I feel your pain, OP, DH has just come back from languishing in Paris for 3 days, where those bastards he works for made him go on a shopping trip to Galerie Lafayette with his own personal shopper as a Christmas treat... how he suffered! And of course this has wrung him out so much he now has to lie on the sofa and complain at intervals how tired he is.

I think we richly deserve La Blanc Spa...:o

lovecat that is truly galling I hope he remembered to buy you something whilst he was there.
