No idea yet. We will go away somewhere for a fortnight at the very end of July/beginning of August. But we have decided where yet at all. TBH as TTC, I can't really book as early in advance as normal - will have to work backwards to work out when we can actually book I guess. But where to go????
Linnet. We went last summer and it was fab

Oh SeaShells
Not planned anything here yet. We are moving this week and until our house sells will have 2 mortgages so can't really plan any big outgoings yet!!
We'll definitely get some breaks away in The Lakes - when Mum and Dad go abroad we'll 'babysit' their house and there is loads to do for the kids round there in the summer.
Otherwise might manage a break in Cornwall but we've decided to skip foreign holidays for a few yrs anyway while the 3 kids are still very little - we find it's just more hassle than it's worth at this age.

Mine are already booked (smug emoticon). We have 12 days in a tent in France with a night in a farmhouse B & B either end. All in , for the 4 of us in the middle of August, including the Channel Tunnel fees, about £750! I am well chuffed. With the money we have saved we are going to Holland at easter....counting the days.

Glad you have booked something, misdee! Fingers crossed that your DH will be OK for it.
We have no definite plans (not a lot of money either). Maybe France for a week in the summer, and DH wants to go to the Christmas markets in Germany in December - I have a friend who lives in Bavaria so we may be able to work something out.
hmb, how have you managed to get all that so cheaply?

[popsycal, if getting a caravan make sure its not a basic one, as last april we eneded up at caravan site in clacton, and it was freezing, the only heater was in the living area. The one we booked later in the year had heaters in each room so we were lovely and warm.
Also remember one year us all freezing in gt yarmouth as we were camping in june, and overnight thw 1st night the temp went to almost freezin point. Mine and mieows dd's were only about 1yr old at the time, and we ended up putting them in sleeping bags with us to keep warm. They were meant to be in travel cots with loads of blankets.
