Hi Anyen,

If you can save some money from your allowances or are fortunate to have family pay for you then yes, you are allowed a holiday. A lot of posters use the sun vouchers and a couple of us have even managed to go abroad.

Good point loko! It's a yes to both: you can go on nice relaxing trip and you can take a payment break under some circumstances. Although probably not using the latter to fund the former. xx

I have to say we have done both - but not a payment holiday to fund a holiday.

We have done some Sun holidays and had a great time. We have also had a few camping trips. If it is a payment holiday you need, then speak to your IP and tell them your concerns. Ours were really understanding. x
Its now time to start living and to make some some wonderful memories!

No worries! we like a giggle on here too!

Have a look on the social side of the forum - plenty of giggles on there too! Plus it where we chat about daily life & the problems we encounter in our journeys.
Honestly I am one whom is always on there ranting when I need a rant!
Your in good hands here x

I managed to go abroad courtesy of my Mother in Law so hopefully if it's a break you're after then this is allowed. x

If you want to offload whichway, you could start a blog. Very therapeutic and you may win a voucher!

I've been addicted for the past three years! Not addicted enough to get up and post in the middle of the night though!

Even if I can't sleep I stay snuggled up in bed.
