To think that a holiday home is not a 'home'?

[eetic]

Colleague of mine constantly mentions her partner's 'home' in Spain. I thought the partner might be Spanish or grew up there, but turns out it's just a holiday villa. They've had it since around the financial crisis.

It's always "Freddie's family home in Spain"... or "At Freddie's Spanish home"... but it's not a 'home' it's a house. They've got no connection to the place other than going out there to sit in the sun and drink. They spend a couple of weeks a year there.

Hilarious 🤣

OP go and have a shag or eat some cake or something, this is a ridiculous thing to give headspace to.

Wow, the insight into some people's minds is scary.

Can I be your friend please ?

We have two holiday homes, one in London and one in Sweden. Both are homes owned by us, furnished with our furniture, they contain our belongings. They’re our homes, lots of people don’t spend all of their time in one primary home. One year we spent 17 weeks in one of our holiday homes.

My cousin is currently touring europe in her motorhome, are you trying to say this is actually her motorhouse?

The irony that you have a holiday home, and that's OK but your friend's Spanish home is not OK. 🙄

So you call it a “holiday home” but not a home. Even though you’ve just literally called it a home. My brain is frazzled.

tell us you’re not jealous without telling us you’re jealous op 😂

Yes.

If you’ve got a place in Antigua, I am a Dutchman.

Who cares.

It’s just the name for it

Show us your Antigua home

I wish I could afford a fake holiday home in Antigua.

How much did yours cost op? Did you pay with monopoly money, or fake bank transfer?

It's like saying cottage or chalet

It's basically a second home

Spot on

😆😆

and most posters don't think it exists😂

I'm just wondering who looks after the stable of unicorns when they aren't there

Who cares?

Is this a wind up? Who can be arsed to split hairs between a home in Spain and a 'house in Antigua' 😂

You sound envious.

Holiday home.

My parents have owned a holiday home for 10 years in a town we’ve holidayed in every year since I was a baby (30+ years). I 100% consider it be a second home as I have such a strong emotional tie to it. My whole family does. When we walk through that door, we feel at home.

My sons nana & grandad have a place in Spain, think they must have it about 20 odd years & it's most definitely their home & they certainly spend mre than 2 weeks of the year (though mostly Grandad does as he's retired) They even had a fence put around the pool when my son came along, her sister & husband bought a place just around the corner & that too is very much their home too

I can actually admit that I am very jealous though unlike you @eetic & would very much love this option in years to come
