To be stupidly excited because I've booked a holiday?

It's only to Scarborough for two nights but my god I'm so excited. It isn't until. September so I have a bit to wait but it's so nice to have something to look forward to!

I don't even care if it rains the whole time! 😄😄😂😂😂

Is there really any need for that comment? I hope you feel good about yourself for bringing down other people. OP have a lovely holiday and I'm sure you'll have fab weather! ☀️☀️☀️
MinnieMountain · 12/07/2020 07:16

Enjoy OP.
We're on a last minute trip to Hunstanton. It's brilliant just to be somewhere different.

GinDaddyRedux · 12/07/2020 07:17

@FirmlyRooted Why the snarky comment?! Who asked you to piss on her chips?

I'd happily go to Scarborough right now

titsbumfannythelot · 12/07/2020 07:17

Lovely. Enjoy. A change of scenery will be fabulous.

Restlessinthenorth · 12/07/2020 07:18

We've just booked two nights in Liverpool so I share your excitement! Scarborough is great! Nothing wrong with the norther coast, AT ALL! Loads to do for both adults and kids! Enjoy the countdown

thewallisblue · 12/07/2020 07:20

Ooh enjoy Liverpool restless in the north! It's my home town - so lovely 🥰

Blackdog19 · 12/07/2020 07:21

YANBU at all. Our Summer holiday has just changed drastically (am no longer willing to fly) and I’m excited! Will be lovey just to get away.

Jeezoh · 12/07/2020 07:26

I’d sell my granny to have a holiday booked and love Scarborough, I get you OP!

Coronabegone · 12/07/2020 07:45

Good for you OP

Any need for that comment @FirmlyRooted ? #bekind

Sexnotgender · 12/07/2020 07:47

YANBU, I’m going to Skye on Tuesday for 4 nights and I’m so excited I might pee myself 😂

Restlessinthenorth · 12/07/2020 07:49

Thank you, @thewallisblue! We got a great deal on the Travel lodge, which definitely isn't on the fancy end of Liverpool hotels but will be a great base.

Any insider, must do tips?! Despite only being about an hour away, we've never been before!

MaryShelley1818 · 12/07/2020 07:51

YANBU!! We just spent 2 days in North Yorkshire this week and it was brilliant! We stayed in a hotel, ate out, visited the zoo, our toddler loved it and it almost felt normal! Enjoy xx

thewallisblue · 12/07/2020 07:57

@restlessinthenorth you'll have a fab time! It's really fun and vibrant. My fave area is the Albert Dock - loads of great restaurants and cafes, and the Tate Gallery (if you're into that).

Shopping is great- Liverpool1 is the main shopping area and has loads of chain- type restaurants on the top level. For more independent restaurants you need to head to the older parts of town, around Bold Street or Moorfields station. Leaf on Bold Street is great for lunch and tea. My fave restaurant is Mowgli (Indian street food).

Have a great time!!

YANBU
We are currently having a week's holiday in Suffolk. It is lovely to be somewhere a bit different and to enjoy some downtime.

To be fair it is AIBU which is, after all, asking for people's opinions...

Travelodge!

I'd normally book at the Premier Inn but it was weirdly expensive!

I'm surprised you can type with the high horse wedged so far up your arse. 🙄🙄🙄😂😂😂

I love Scarborough! Don't be a snob. Some of us are on a budget so fancy holiday abroad aren't affordable. I also can't think of much worse than getting on a plane right now. I get a lovely scenic drive instead!

OwlinaTree · 12/07/2020 09:54

Enjoy op! I've just booked a Travelodge break as well for Swansea! Exciting times!

LagunaBubbles · 12/07/2020 09:58

@FirmlyRooted

Absolutely no need for that comment, it's bad enough being a holiday snob but to try and bring someone down for their choice? Pathetic.

WorraLiberty · 12/07/2020 09:59

Enjoy, OP!

I've just booked a weekend in Clacton on Sea.

Can someone run and get the defibrillator for FirmlyRooted?

Midsommar · 12/07/2020 10:00

Enjoy OP! Nothing beats a good old English seaside holiday x

We've got Cornwall in 2 weeks time then a weekend in sunny Bridlington in August. I cannot wait, I wanted Scarborough but couldn't get the dates/accommodation to work! Enjoy!!
