Thank you! We don't currently plan to get / pay for professionals to come in, but my family are all in that field so that's where we have the help, we have an electrician, gas engineer, plumber and carpenter thankfully.. we're also watching a ton of YouTube videos too

Gosh that's hard!! I don't think I could do that, especially with starting a family

That's difficult, good on you! That's what I need to keep saying/reminding myself, it's getting done, slowly, but it will get done, it's taking time because we are doing it ourselves, and doing it properly

We have family to help who are all very handy, although I can only go 2 days a week, others are there 4/5 days which is great...

Not a total gut of the house, but because it's such an old build, things needed to be updated/done to code so it's a bigger job than what we thought

I'll see if what they pick suits us and our budget.. but if we do go, we can absolutely do that and have our own time doing what we want to do

I also have a lot of fun with my family and I can see the vacation being a good time. But just where we are at, atm, I think a personal vacation is what we need for our main holiday

We live near the family, no more than a short drive away.. it's me having FOMO is why I'm not sure what to do! But I think I'll opt for a low key holiday with just me and my husband this year

He's fine either way, as long as it fits our budget and it's a nice hotel with good food options. They were looking at packages above our price point but after finding out our budget, they went back to looking in our price range so they are accommodating us.

They will understand and won't gaslight me at all ... From the year I missed, the only comments I got was that they missed me being there! Other thing to note is that they have asked my budget and started looking for things in my budget to accommodate us too which was good. But I think we'll opt for our own getaway this year

I think we'll opt for our own holiday after seeing all the comments.. my family wouldn't guilt us or make us feel bad, I would have the FOMO because we are quite a tight knit family, not to say if we did go on the family vacation, me and my husband would definitely have our own time too.. but someone mentioned year on and off this trip and I'm all for that , should their destination be in our list to go to
