UPDATE... well i think it is safe to say that this friendship has gone down the proverbial pisser.
Spoke to her on the phone, kept my temper and said that it wasnt a good idea and that i had been saving for ages and been having a rough time , and with everything that had happend, me and husband breaking up ect that i felt like me and ds really needed some quality family time together and wanted to make the most of it as i dont know when the next time when i would be able to give him a holiday was.
She tried telling me that her and 4 kids would be no bother, there was plenty of room, they would be out most of the day anyway so we would have plenty of time to ourselves ect.
At which point im starting to get a bit angry, tbh i have felt a incredible hulk moment building since lunch time , and just said..look, i get what your saying but i want to go on holiday with my son by myself. its important to me that i can do this.
She then said ' oh well i dont know why you are getting so worked up, its only a seaside holiday ffs, and perhaps it is best as my children are more used to going abroad so would think it was a bit of a let down'
At this point i lost it and said oh i see... so not only are you a rude and selfish cow, but you are also going for condesending bitch as well'
Anyway she told me to 'stick the caravan up my fat arse and hung up on me.
i am shacking with anger, but also have the giggles ...am going to go and have a large glass of wine, and carry on planning my apparently scummy caravan holiday
