to be annoyed at DH?

A few months ago my husband decided we needed a holiday this year - not just a week somewhere in UK but 3 wks in Florida - villa, Disney etc etc. Nice idea but last year we nearly lost the house and he was nearly made bankrupt. We are still struggling with money and I said this at the time. As usual he said "well I'll be the one out earning the money etc etc". I work 3 days a week as I am registered disabled with a mobility prob and also with 3 dcs under 6 it isn't financially viable to work each day.

I said at the time not to tell the kids so as not to disappoint them if it happens that e cant afford to pay that amount (almost £8,000!) . He told the DCs anyway and I have been driven made with questions about bloody Mickey Mouse and Co ever since. He has told me he has been paying bits off every few weeks. A registered letter came this morning saying the outstanding balance of £6,900 not been paid so the holiday has been cancelled.

I was really annoyed at the fact he has lied about not paying bits off and that I will have to tell the kids we're not going. (Also I have had to cancel an op that would have improved my mobility issues because of this trip.) I explained all this to him and he went off his head shouting saing that I am so negative and that I am so unreasonable!
He then went an told the DCs we are not going to Florida "cos mummy doesnt want to go and cos of mummy's leg!" Cue 3 pairs of doe-eyed cherubs looking like I'd taken their ice-creams from them. I am so mad at him and now he is moaning "Are you still in a mood? How long do I have to put up with this etc etc?"
AIBU?

If he did that "gatecrash" thing, you should be telling him to feck off elsewhere for a few days so that you can think about your relationship.
