Hot and bored on holiday

[olympicsrock]

So I’m definitely being a bit unreasonable . We are lucky enough to have a holiday house in Spain- sports resort . Golf/ cycling max DH loves it. We have a pool and aircon.

I’m perimenopausal with heat intolerance and overweight. We’ve been here 5 days now. I’ve read 3 books , bored of lying on a sun bed reading. It’s too hot to eat out in the evening . Even DH and the kids were hot and sticky in the evening at a restaurant. After an hour we were all keen to come home.

It’s too hot to go anywhere and do anything. The kids are happy in the pool.
I’m too old to be in a nightclub, I don’t want to watch sport or Jeremy Fucking Clarkson …

I hate cards and board games. Might have to resort to a jigsaw….

So i’m grumpy and drinking cold rose wine on the patio…… Cheer me up mumsnet please !

Diamond flip-flops too tight, OP?

Hmm you may not get the responses you want from all the people in the UK in the rain who can’t afford a holiday….

Yes, it is slightly tone deaf!

God....how awful...

Read more books

Ummm... yeah. I'm poor and tired and ill in rainy, cold England (no holiday homes for me) and I can't muster any sympathy OP. Next you'll be telling us your purse is too small for all your £50 notes.

So I’m definitely being a bit unreasonable

A bit???? Fancy swapping. My feet are looking webbed with the amount of fucking rain we're having.

On my holidays, if the kids are happy, I'm happy. And I love to read, so that makes me happy too!
Are you near a beach, OP? I love being by the sea and find it so calming.

Actually snorted reading this, while eating my left over roast dinner cos I cannot afford packed lunch stuff this week!

Can you not spend some time in the pool, even just a few minutes might help?

<stares blankly through sheets of rain>

Um. Yeah. Poor you.

and this is why we don't go to Europe in the summer anymore - too hot!

Sending thoughts and prayers to you at this difficult time OP.

You have a holiday home in a sports complex but are overweight. That’s quite amusing.

Tragic let's start a go fund me

Yeah. It’s in a heat wave because climate change. Caused by people consuming more than they need. Flying abroad, owning multiple houses, I mean you’re only one person but aren’t we all?

Nah I'm with you OP, it sounds a bit rubbish and I'd be looking forward to coming home too. Hate being too hot.

One of the most heartbreaking things I've read on here.

Why don't you go down the beach and do some water activities.
Is there a water park nearby?

But honestly, chuck the alcohol. you know that isn't going to help and will just make you feel worse.

Stop whining and put the air con on

It amuses me that people buy a holiday home in such places - it is designed to be boring.

Maybe your menopausal self is highlighting that the capitalist 'success factors are actually pretty underwhelming when you do achieve them

I can't think of much worse that sitting by a pool for 2 weeks

Tbh if my kids were happy and DH wasn’t whining that would be good enough for me.

honestly it’s cold and miserable here so I don’t think you’ll get much sympathy. We have booked a UK hol and it seems unlikely the weather will improve.

What was it you thought you were getting from a week in the sun?

Wow I'm so sorry for what you're going through

Maybe you need to get off the patio and go and see actual Spain. I'd be bored too just sat by a pool. I prefer to see the actual country.
Maybe that holiday home is wasted on you lot.

You need a better book 😉
