To book a holiday?

[RoundKite]

I'm looking into the sun holidays, right now I'm on benefits but I will be going back to work in the next two months.
Would I be U to book a holiday? I've been trying to save so hard for the last month, selling my old dvds to cash generator, selling clothes on eBay etc that I feel it would be a waste of money and be a waste of my benefit money however much of that I would need to use
What's the right thing to do?

I don't think you should be booking a holiday when your tax credits have stopped and could take weeks to sort out. As pp says , these £9.50 holidays are never just that, they add on money for utilities, entertainment passes, linen etc and they always end up costing a lot more.

Haven't you also got a wedding to pay for?

OMG. I can't believe this is the same poster who on another thread is saying they can't afford to buy baby milk for her 4 week old baby as her tax credits have been stopped. I'm suspecting this poster is not genuine.

Seriously

We did a sun holiday many moons ago, booked out of school hols at a fab site in Cornwall, did all the upgrades and it came in at about £50. Without getting involved in the rest of the discussion, that was a bargain.

It's not even school holidays ....

Poster has gone from booking a holiday, to no money to feed the children and planning who to send wedding invites out to despite being single .....

I say book the caravan. Better yet book two weeks all inclusive in the sun. Who cares if your children dont have food.

It is your money, do what you want with it. And sometimes going on a holiday is the best way to relax and help you to focus your energy on what you need to when you get home.

You also have to let them know if you are going on holiday and lose money for the days you are away - as you are not looking for work on those days.
