Was in town today with dh and as a joke (and it really was a joke!) I said 'why don't we go book a holiday for next year?'
Well that was it, dh took me extremely seriously and the next thing I know, I'm sat at a desk in a travel agents with a lady typing in all my details.
Anyway she found us a pretty reasonable deal tbf however I was not prepared to book! Usually when we book a holiday, we have either all of the majority of the money to put towards it. Right now, all we could afford to pay was the deposit. £3500 to find before February next year.
Now to be fair, we probably could save it and pay it. But the thought makes me uncomfortable AND I want to go away and see if I can find a better deal online, look at holiday reviews etc. I'm not ready to book. Dh is. Doesn't help that we have the woman going on about free child places and how if we don't book it now, they will all go. 'Once they are gone, they're gone'
Also she kept saying 'I can't guarantee I can get you these prices if you come back tomorrow'
So me and dh aren't really speaking now as apparently according to dh, we will of lost that deal and I'm makin a massive deal out of it and it's too stressful....so we are not going anyway now apparently.
So is he right? Do prices really change? Do the free child places run out?
When I've come home, it seems like the free child places don't really make much difference as all they do is bump up the prices of the adult which makes up for the free child place.
I found one holiday where it was £600 each but no free child places. The following week had free child places but the adult price was bumped up to £900 each.
Anyway, whatever the answer is, I don't want to book a holiday without having abit of money to put towards it at least.
I'm the sensible one, dh just does things on impulse.....we are a great match
