October Get Away In Caravan
Sat, 10/01/2011 - 12:08
by fredjones62Wow we are getting some good weather for the start of October.
Gosh come Friday I think no end of people must have had sick days as all those who had put there caravans to bed for the winter well they were all over the place like rabbits in the breeding season.
So I guess a lot of people are making the most of it and getting away. Is this the same all over the Uk ? ?. Can't see it being Scotland as I see they have some rain to come or are getting the rain which ever way it is.

Has anyone had a year like mine it started great then went downhill straight away?
December 28th last year we won £48,186 on the lottery, the middle of January my 14 yr old took an overdose and nearly died cos of bullies, the following week my 16 yr old got kidnapped and beat up for 2 days,We then got results of 14 yr olds mri scan as she has suffered with back for 2 yrs she has spondulosis in spine. In Febuary we bought a caravan March and April were ok. May my step daughter was beat up by partner and came to live with us. June,July and August were ok September 15 yr old daughter(one who overdosed at 14) got perforated appendix and was V ill. Then found out my dad has cancer.October nephews baby died and 15 yr old broke her arm.Step daughter decided i wasn't babys grandma anymore even though i'd been there from birth and done everything i could for them. She'd moved out by now. November found out 17 yr old(the one who was 16) is pregnant. She split from the dad and step daughter is having another. They're both due in July.
Everyone makes choices and then has to live with the consequences. Examine yourself and your life style and change what needs to be changed to improve things.Why do bad people get all the good stuff?
Things go right for people that do bad things! 6 years ago my then husband had an affair, when I found out he begged for another chance and even went out and got a tattoo with my name on!! So I gave him another chance as believed he loved me and our 2 kids and wanted to be with us, after all I had given everything to be with him and stuck by him while he put us in £100k of debt on top of our mortgage!!!!!
Anyway 2 weeks later I found out he had just continued with this woman anyway so ended our marriage, he is now married to her and I am married to someone I met 6 months after my marriage ended and we have a daughter and that's all good, he works hard but his wage is small and we barley make ends meet. My son from my first marriage is ill and it is taking years on the NHS to try and diagnose his problem.
Anyway after he left we agreed the house would come to me and the kids and the debts would be paid off by him and this all went down in the divorce. But after the divorce he never paid and I was taken to court (as apparently divorce agreements don't count with the people you owe money to!) by some of the people money was owed to and charges were put on the house.
My ex wasn't taken to court even though I gave them his details he just slipped through the net somehow!!!! He now has started his own business (something I encouraged him to do for years as his employer never appreciated him) he is doing very well and takes 4 or 5 holidays a year (he doesn't invite our 2 kids to join him), he has a share of her house, new car and work van every couple of years and things are going very well for him, we are trying to work out how we are going to afford 10 days in a caravan in October especially as our fridge just packed up and there a problem with the car! But I hope we can do it as its the kids only holiday.
He did start to make some payments to some of the people we owe money to through an IVA, and as he can hide his income being self employed he is making tiny payments. One of the banks wrote to us asking for a new financial statement to assess his payments within 7 days. Everyday for those 7 days I contacted him asking him if he had done it and I was assured he had. Now I have a letter from them saying he has failed to supply the information and unless full payment (£22k) is made within 7 days they will take legal action. So after 6 years apart looks like I will yet again be off to court and forced to pay more money I don't have. My ex is ignoring my texts and calls.
He didn't bother to send them the info as he was too busy getting ready for yet another holiday. Also we had booked a private appointment for our son, which my ex had suggested and offered to pay for, to finally try and get to the bottom of whats wrong and he cancelled it last minute as he had come back from the holiday and couldn't afford it!!!
I can't get a job partly because of my sons problem means he off school or needs picking up early a lot, also my current hubby works...Gosh, I'm really sorry to hear this. I know as cliche as it sounds, he'll get what's coming to him. As hard as it may be, just try and enjoy what you have- you have family, and you have your head on straight. You're not immoral, unlike him, and at least you tried to make your marriage work again.
Another thing i'd do is cut him out of your life, if possible. If the kids aren't particularly attached to him, and he isn't to them, don't make arrangements for them to go see him. If they are, well, just minimise the amount you interact with him. I know you need his money- that is a problem. He seems to be a bit of a d1ck though, so it's hard. I don't get how it's your responsibility if he doesn't pay though.
Maybe you have to invest in a lawyer. I'm not sure how that'd work out for you, though. But all I can say is hang in there- I know it must be so hard for you- but your ex-husband is morally bankrupt. He won't last for long. Good things DO happen to good people though, however overdue it may seem to you. You'll get rewarded for all your hard work, i assure you. Good luck to your son and best of luck to you.I want to book a haven holiday at 16?
Hello im 15 atm 16 in october so for next year me and my friends want to go away when we finish school, we want to go to combehaven Haven holidays, not too sure if they accept 16 year olds, there will be 8 of us that would stay in a big caravan.
if they dont let us book at 16 then i was thinking of..
If my mum books it online and drives us all up there and then there would be only 7 going because my mum would take one of the places but she would drive back, and shed be coming to get the keys at reception then no one would know? would this plan work? then she just comes back up at the end of the week? its only an hours journey btw :)
Get a brochure from the travel agent and check the small print at the back. I think one member of the party (at least) has to be over 18, but I'm not certain.I want to book a haven holiday at 16?

As a minor you can not enter into a legal contract. Also Haven would have to ensure child protection if you went there without adults. I would forget it if I were you and go youth hostelling instead.
Yes we did get some rather good weather for October along with winds afterwards.
I saw no end of caravans on the road and honestly thought I had seen the last of them until next year but no they managed to creep back on to the highways again.
