Have you heard of an extreme day trip?It's basically a day trip that's a little bit further afield then the average day trip and usually involves an aeroplane to get there. It’s perfectly possible to visit many places in a day, going out on the first flight of the day and coming back on one of the last flights. And not only is it possible, it can actually be ridiculously cheap to do this as well because of all the low cost airlines competing for business now. I first heard about the idea of an extreme day trip a couple of months ago when a group popped up in my Facebook feed which … [Read more...]

Mosquitoes love me.Like really love me.The problem is that when I get a mosquito bite, the whole area around it swells up and is super painful for days afterwards, sometimes even up to a week. And I never get just one bite, I get clusters of them which over the years has really impacted my enjoyment of holidays - I’m either so itchy that I can’t enjoy myself or watching out for any flying insect that could be a mosquito.

How I plan what we do when we’re on holiday….
If you know me, then you’ll know that I love to travel.I studied Lesiure and Tourism at college and thought I’d found my dream job when I managed to get a job in a local travel agency when I left there but as much as I loved the job, the pay wasn’t great and when I bought my first house, I needed to change my career path in pursuit of a better paying job.

We were planning on going back again this year but we struggled a little bit with holidays and being able to get time off together when the kids are off school so we've ended up booking somewhere a little bit different … [Read more...]
Why camping in the UK makes an amazing family holiday….
I can't recommend camping in the UK highly enough as a cheaper option for a family holiday - today I'm going to tell you why!We're going through a tough time here in the UK right now with the cost of living crisis with prices soaring and some families having to make some really tough decisions about where they can cut back on costs simply to be able to live.This is not one of those tough decisions though and I almost didn't publish this post as I feel like many people aren't going to have the luxury of having a holiday at all, never mind getting to make a choice between camping in … [Read more...]
Review: The Deep, Hull….
Check me out getting out and about to all these new places - last week you got a Beamish Open Air Museum review and this week you're getting a cheeky review of The Deep in Hull. 😂Before I tell you about The Deep itself, I thought I'd just let you know that I used my Tesco Clubcard Vouchers to pay for our entry which was a bit more complicated than it usually is when redeeming vouchers.The actual buying of the vouchers was just as simple as it always is, just choose The Deep on the Tesco Rewards site and redeem however many Tesco Clubcard vouchers you want to redeem to pay … [Read more...]
