Not to go on holiday?

[BikeRunSki]

So, I know that if I want to go on holiday integer summer, then I need to think about booking somewhere/thing.

We have ds (5) and a dd (2) and only I have a passport in date, so staying in UK.

DS started school this year, so we are now tied to school holidays. We can afford £800 all in.
Now, we could get a cottage somewhere mic for around £600. But for a cottage holiday end up shopping, cooking etc. I don't consider this this to be a holiday tbh. I would camp (love the outdoors), but DH won't anymore (he knows what he's talking about, we used to camp a lot).

I have looked at Bluestone, CentreParks, Butlins Etc, but a week in school summer holidays is well out of our price range. So I'm beginning to think we won't bother with a holiday. I would love a break, but seriously self catering with 2 small children, is not a holiday.

You could get a cottage and get those 'cook' ready meals for the freezer or even Marks ones.
Or maybe stay with family for a few days and do days out where they live.
We're using my parents as a base this summer (midlands) and going out all day to space museum etc.
We'd planned to do this but staying at my parents instead.
