Hi everyone, We, too , have just come back from a week at Woodlands - and I agree with Tina, it is the BEST site we have ever been to!! So clean and so neatly cared for, not to mention the fantastic time my 3 boys had in the leisure park (us parents too, ha ha) We will be going back next year...

Hi everyone, I wonder could anyone suggest a good site for us to stay on for a week or so with 3 small children this August? We haven't been to France before and honestly don't know where to start - so would really welcome some personal recommendations! We have somewhere in mind to stay...

Thanks, Matthew and Clive for your advice, it makes sense. Yes, we have written formally to the Caravan repairers (who incidentally the insurance company chose from the quotes we submitted)and have sent photos of the fault. We are waiting to hear from them formally - however i did speak with...

Hi, i've read a lot of good advice on this forum and you lot sound very knowlegable so i thought i'd run this by you to see if you can offer an opinion as i am so angry!! We had to have the whole of one side of our caravan replaced after a bad accident. Our ins company dealt with it for us...

Hi Denise Remember me? we were both going out over easter with brand new awnings never having put one up before? How did you get on with yours? We had a few teething problems in as much as the rain was coming down the side of the caravan despite the awning being attached!!! lord knows what we...

Thanks, Jim and Pauline, for good sensible advice. (funny you should say about kids walking home alone, we have that dilemma too at the moment with our 10 year old!!) I do so badly want my little ones to experience as much fun as humanly possible but am (personally - an overprotective mummy...

Hi Mark, ive looked at mine and chris's postings and really cannot see where you get that we are trying in any way to tell anyone else how to bring their children up - i certainly would not dream of it. Sorry you read it like that. Thanks to all others for input, as i said earlier, my husband...

Thanks, don't feel too much like a master criminal now :):) i'll pluck up courage to call a few places tomorrow, sharon

Hi Denise, yes, fingers crossed about weather, most of my packing done now (raincoats etc included just in case), can't wait to set off.!! :)

Hi, yes it was just the one accident but it was pretty big i suppose. It was

Hi, can any experts offer an opinion? Our caravan insurance company will only allow us to keep our caravan at a CASSOA Gold site (the only one around is where we are storing now and it's a long way from where we have just moved house to.)There are no other storage sites nearby which they will...

Oh, i do that too, whenever i'm given instructions i smile and nod knowledgably while the info slips merrily into one ear and then straight out of the other!!! ha ha, I'm so pleased i'm not alone, i thought it was just me! Why don't we ask them to repeat it? i've no IDEA- i just never would...

You're so right Chris, what kind of world are we living in where i'm so worried about putting our keen-and-willing older kids into an awning approx 10 feet away (we would sleep in the bed near the caravan door and it would be open too!!)Its a sad sign of the times. i've been imagining all sorts...

Thanks Helen, i'd better dust off those schoolgirl French books now then, and maybe enjoy a glass of French wine meanwhile to get in the mood!!

thanks to everyone for your comments!!! we are more able to make a decision on what to do now Sharon
