when you're away on holiday

Prompted by my wifes ridiculos statement the other day when asked if she wanted to have an extra day away from home, she said we'll I don't mind, but I miss:

1. The power shower, as the one in the cottage was rather feeble

2. The WASHING MACHINE!!!!!!! (there was some logic to this) :confused:

So what do you miss when you're away

This year, a little peace and quiet. Very noisy site in France.

Usually, my own bed, but that's about it.

I have the worlds best mattress and when I am away from home I miss it a lot. I also miss my cats and my computer.

Just recently when the wife and I have been away it has been by our selves and we have missed each other terribly, I seem to sleep so much better when I can roll on to my side and just snuggle into her and have her fragrant hair against my cheek. Two and a half years we have been together and we have only spent three nights apart in all of that time. :D

Nothing really I have spent alot time being away from home, but a good bed is useful still on the mend from injury if I sleep badly it hurts a bit!

Travel light is best, you don't need that much at all.

You mean the first "u" ;)


And tbh I miss nothing really. Since I got home from my bike trip to Spain I have really been missing the roads and scenery in France though...
And I supposed I have to throw my entertainment room in there too, good times are had with that always

Strangely enough no, you deviant :p

Where we stay there's no washing machine, so she can't wash the bedding or kids cloths.

My sister owns the house and her dogs hair gets everywhere, so it would be nice to give stuff a wash. Plus we wouldn't need to take our own duvet's either.

I did say there was some logic to it :)

My dog.

I don't miss anything else at all - that's what holidays are for.

What I definitely don't miss is Mrs w putting EmmerCorrieEnders on the TV

Decent cider. Bottled Strongbow in an irish pub really doesn't measure up when my local near work had three different real ciders on most weeks.

having just got back from a week in wales I missed flat roads, my 17 yr old cat and my Mattress, not the biggest fan of holidays, rather be at home DIY'ing some times, although I do enjoy it when i finally drag myself away.
