Off to North Devon in August for 7 days.
Accommodation already paid for. Saving is now beginning in earnest for spending money. DH is of the opinion that he doesn't want to be constantly worrying about what we are spending/missing out on things so has set a target of £2000. He believes that that will allow us to do a big meal first and last night, shop for the week, petrol there and back, activities every day, and a couple of beers in the clubhouse of an evening.
I think this is an extortionate amount of money and what with MOT, service, birthdays, service charges coming up before we go we will literally be scraping for the next 5 months, for a week away with being thoroughly miserable to boot. What with the £850 caravan that would be nearly £3000 for a week in Devon!!!
We are going away with friends who are significantly better off than us, and I think he's just trying to keep up with the Jones's. He on the other hand thinks I'm being naïve as to what things will cost for 2 adults and 2 DC.
AIBU does it REALLY cost that much?!!
AIBU?

We're going abroad for 0 days this summer. It's all inclusive but we'll have about 2k saved. However, I don't anticipate spending it all so if we have any left it's a bonus.
I'd save the £2k and have a lovely time. You'll likely have money left over which will be lovely to have when you get home
