It dosent though does it, it buys a weeks accommodation somewhere and maybe the food, the throw in petrol, suveniours, not earning any money for a week, things you break and days out for 3 every day for 7 days and you can happily double that.
Dont think about holidays with the nipper cos theyer never gonna remember it. My mum was telling me how theyd regularly move Christmas by up to a week when I was young so that we could have it together when dad wasnt at work and I never noticed. I think the kid will appreciate being able to go out and eat worms and get muddy every day of the week in a safe private garden rather than a holiday where your only gonna do boring adult stuff like look at museums and monuments and shit anyway.
I suppose if you are that bothered about holidays just set your sights a little lower, camping in a really cheap field maybe.
Oh and you wont notice £65 a month (about £15 a week) extra once thats added into the budget, thats not even a pack of fags and a half crate of fosters or a curry for 2 these days
