I'm being very selfish and self centred now but I had to start this thread.
I've just spent a wet week in a 15' caravan with DH and 3 kids. I can't sleep in the uncomfortable bed, I hate cooking on the little gas hob, I miss my dishwasher and the rain spoilt most of our week. To top it all I had horrendous PMT for most of the week! Perhaps I'm just a misery guts but it was no holiday for me and I couldn't wait to get home.
Oxocube, you asked about the car on another thread, we got it fixed 36 hours before we were due to go (last Sunday) and it seems to have behaved itself whilst we were away. We also got an extra year's warranty and a free (major) service out of the garage so we are keeping our fingers crossed that everything will be ok from now on.
Bozza, I hope you had better weather in Whitby that we did, though I think you suffered worse with the floods in W Yorks last week than the coastal areas. I've just seen last week's Examiner with the story about the woman who was swept away by floodwater. I did warn you that the weather would be bad whilst we were away - it always is.
I've got DH at home under my feet now for the rest of this week before he goes back to work next Monday. This will severely restrict my Mumsnetting.
