feel so guilty about missed holiday ,,how to make it up

[almostanangel]

i was in a realationship and we had booked a holiday [well he had] for us and my children and his children to go to eden and stay in the area for a week,,,my children were really looking forward to it ,but the relationship ended .we were supposed to go next saturday and the closer it gets the more upset i get ,that ive let the children down ,i know its not all my thought but i feel like crap i cant afford a holiday on my own and just wondered if anyone had ideas on how to make it up to them and how to stop feeling so bad .think also that saturday will just compnd my feelings about the relationship ending too,oh joy,xx

fault [oh my spelling just gets worse]

If it is any help I ahve just managed to book 5 days camping at a Haven resort for £70 - which is all I coudl afford this year too.

We ahve the camping equipment etc but if you don't could you borrow it?

I have nothing to suggest about how you will feel this weekend, it is rubbish when relationships end - especially if you feel your children have missed out on something.

thank you ....hope you have a wonderful time

Camping is a great idea, it can be cheap and the kids will love it.

Camping is a great idea!

have camping stuff at the my childrens dads ,,but then i dont drive lol lol could ruck sack it i suppose might be an adventure

If you have a fairly large rucksack it is possible - they have laundrettes so you don't need to take loads of clothes etc. Like you say it could be an adventure.

The thing I liked about the haven site is that they have all the usual entertainment and kids clubs included so you get a park holiday without having to pay hundreds of pounds for a chalet/caravan.

really think this is an option thank you !!!

You could find a campsite close by, the kids won't care.

My mum took us camping about 20 minutes up the road when we were little and we had a great time and didn't even click we were close to home.

That's right - we are going about 20 miles away!

this is great never crossed my mind for a second x

hey sm can i put my tent next to yours? lol will bring vodka

I hope you go . Youve got nothing to lose and every thing to gain . You will probably have a great time .

You are welcome too - shall I bring tonic or just Gin? [wondering emoticon]

Do you know where your nearest haven is? The website has a calculator for times dates etc.

I will refrase that . [you will have a great time]

The secret to these places is to realx into it and take it for what it is - the children always enjoy them IME!

am just looking it up now

clacton i think

Where is that?

lol east coast

We are going to Blue Dolphin - Filey.

I don't know anything about the Calcton one (clearly!) do they have a good deal on for you?

cant find the deals still looking lol.but there are other sites near me not haven so i will look in to that great idea though thank you so much

Lol, glad you have got at least something to look at that may fit the bill!

Have fun!

This is of absolutely no help to your current dilemma but every year after christmas the sun 'newspaper' does the cheap holidays offer. I have done this in the past with friends and my parents go on two holidays every year! It should cost you well under£100 and you get a wide chioce of destinations. You get exactly the same holiday as everyone else on the site but for a fraction of the price!

mmmmm, not sure how it works with school holidays though, worth finding out I guess!
