Can't believe we are this organised. Have just booked a fortnight in Arles in Provence for August.
Anyone else sorted yet?

Yes. A fun weekend away in the East Midlands at Diabetic camp in June. Sad

Surfermum · 03/03/2006 20:41

Yep! A week in a caravan in the Vendee. We're also having a week camping in Cornwall but haven't book it.

Yes, booked it in January. We are going to Florida for 2 weeks mid June with my parents. This is actually quite late for us - normally booked way before Christmas.

Chandra · 03/03/2006 20:42

We booked ours in November, though, we are going on May.

chipmonkey · 03/03/2006 21:16

I love Portugal! But we loved it so much we went 3 years in a row so time for a change!

bubblerock · 03/03/2006 21:19

Try and stay out of hospital this time Yorkie!! - I know you only did it to eye up those portuguese doctors Wink

crazydazy · 03/03/2006 21:23

We are going to sunny Portugal too....2 weeks with DP's Mum and Dad in same apartment. Grin
They just don't know what they are letting themselves in for.

DP and I have to share the sofa bed, not much nookie for us Blush

paolosgirl · 03/03/2006 22:51

We've just booked up for the New Forest. For us north of the border, that's quite a trip!

rummum · 03/03/2006 23:06

brimfull · 03/03/2006 23:09

have booked a week in tuscany in a villa in august

Am seriously excited as have always wanted to go to Italy.

OldieMum · 03/03/2006 23:10

We booked our holiday house in France last September, starting in the last week of July. Then in November I found I was pregnant, with a due date of 11th July ....

So you can book your holiday TOO early.

Clary · 03/03/2006 23:20

Gosh yes [smug], booked a week in Tenby in about October. Wanted 2 weeks but the week after was already booked in the cottage we wanted (by returning people like us)!
Early Jan booked a second week on south coast so as to try somewhere different. 2 weeks' hol, how extravagant!
TBH if you are picky (we like to be in a town near the sea) and need to go in the summer hols especially if you want 3 bedrooms (or even 4 - we sometimes take my mum) you have to book way before now.
Oldiemum - ooops! is that a valid reason for cancellation? Aah, you might as well go, eh, baby'll just snooze thru it!

heavenis · 03/03/2006 23:21

Booked in November for a caravan in Great Yarmouth in August.

Smurfgirl · 04/03/2006 11:57

I am going to Zante this summer for a week in August [dying of heat exhuastion icon]

fisil · 04/03/2006 12:09

My parents have a caravan in Cromer. We've told them we'd like 2 weeks there, but that's as far as it's got.

Luckily this summer's weddings are in nice places, so we should get a nice weekend in France and one in Hastings.

GDG · 04/03/2006 12:11

Yes,

Majorca villa holiday in May half term (booked that last summer!)
Cornwall farm cottage holiday in August (booked that last August as the place is sooooo popular and books up fast!)

Will be doing lots of weekends and visits to JT in her new house in The Lakes too (complete with it's own orchard dontcha know!)

blossom2 · 04/03/2006 19:29

yes - one week in Tunisia!!
