He booked crappy "holiday" for us aibu to be a bit annoyed?

[yesnomaybes]

Been saving for a cheap UK break.
Boyfriend said he was going to sort it as a surprise.
It was a surprise all right.
He has booked a caravan park (park dene resorts) less than 10 minutes from our house for a week.
Now it's not the fact it's a caravan,I enjoy a little caravan trip ...but 10 mins from our house...what is the point.
Nothing new to explore,or towns close by to visit that we don't go to all the time.
It's cost £409 for a week (well Monday to Friday )
Would you be a bit miffed ?

Where did the rest of the money go ?

Well done, OP! Hope you have a lovely time.

@violetmartini really...what was wrong with it?
A bit rough ?

Why are you not angry with him for lying to you about the money?

Why wouldn’t you ask him what happened to the quarter of the money you’d saved for the break?

The lying over the money, and cheapskate lack of effort in choosing a holiday (pocketing the difference we assume) would lead me to seriously consider the relationship...

Ooh, have you told him yet??

I'm so glad you've managed to change the booking!

If it was me I wouldn't tell DH until the day before departure just to let him plan whatever local shit he thought he was going to enjoy (local pub and weekend football probably) and surprise him with activities that actually require an effort!

*a quarter of

Pitlochry is lovely. Have fun.

I think you have relationship issues OP.

I'd be gutted if my DH effectively stole over £100 from our joint savings.

A bit of a fibber?!

A liar and thief...

Where did the £100 go then? Sounds like he has lied about the amount so he could pocket the £100.

Whoa. The lying is really out of order. He inflated the price by a third and pocketed your savings? Hell. No.

I'd be using this holiday as a pick me up post break-up.

He said £409 too which was very specific
I'm not gonna bother asking him but get on with it now

So ... HE gets to keep about £100 of your joint savings -
but YOU get to pay the extra £40 relocation fee?

@yesnomaybes - he sounds like a dishonest fuckwit.
Whereas you sound funny, resourceful & exceedingly patient.

Are you SURE you want to go on holiday with him - let alone spend any more of your life with him???

Had to pay extra and turns out he only paid just over £300

I saw that coming in my previous post. I thought I was probably being too cynical having read a lot of CF threads lately, I'm sorry I was right.

I think you should go on this holiday on your own.

And when you get back, find someone nicer.

Does he have any redeeming features because he sounds like a bit of a tool

The thread that keeps on giving .

I feel for you op, I honestly do. You know you can’t ever trust him not to steal from you, don’t you? Don’t sweep that under the carpet, please.

Right so you have mug tattooed on your head do you? He lied about how much it cost and pocketed the difference and you're ok with that

It's not worth packing and unpacking is it?

Just simply not worth the hassle.

I would love to know his reasoning behind this, and why on earth he thought you would think this was a holiday

MN won’t be happy until you’ve LTB now

Although I would be mentioning the cost differential, I couldn’t bear him thinking he’d pulled a fast one

Enjoy your break

Firstly area. It's stunning up there. Caingorms National Park is breathtaking. Pitlochrt itself is very pretty and nearby Blair Atholl is amazing.
You are also near the Highland Wildlife Park at Kingussie. Go and visit Hamish the now not so wee polar bear!

I really don't like the fact that he lied though, you need to get an explanation for that.

He's a right one OP. Finds the cheapest place and nicks £100 off you.

I said up thread that he may have pocketed the rest. That you should be questioning.

Have a good holiday.
