DH is warming to the idea of a second trip this year!

[PoppyAnna]

I started working on him (you know what I mean girls ) and it was "no way"........but then....
....he has started asking me what the weather is like in Florida the second and third week in October.......
He says he is compiling a list of things that have to be sacrificed or things that I have to do if I want us to go I think these will include a low budget christmas (no presents between us and no birthday presents for me and him), doing some of our DIY tasks ourselves and put off looking for a new car (I don't want one anyway!) for another year and no big holiday next year.
This is partly joke and partly serious, all of the above I can live with if it means another family holiday to WDW
His current job terminates in the second week of October and he is thinking of becoming self employed again after that so two weeks break in between will be no probs and eldest doesn't start school full time until January.

Pray for me people! and if you're not religious sprinkle me some pixie dust...

What a great idea another trip to WDW, & he'll be so ready to give his new job 100% upon your return.
I hope you can talk him round

 

[mark&sue]

I can see you are getting hooked! This is just the start......

Good luck

Throw in a few, "its so much cheaper when the kids are younger and we don't have to go in the school holidays" and i'm sure you'll be booking it shortly!

Oh yeah, I've got all those prepared.
"From next year when DD4 starts school NO HOLIDAYS IN TERM TIME"
"Do you remember their faces when we took them on "X Y Z" or when they saw......."
"If you're going to be self employed again that means less holidays and thats not fair on the girls"
All v true but I shall lay it on extra thick

 

[Goofysmate]

good luck for tonight & the talk & never let his glass get empty just keep topping it up till he gives in as you know he will in the end .
Plant the seed & just let him think it's all his idea

 

[Laurafoster]

Soooo how did it go???

 

[PoppyAnna]

Thanks for asking, as we speak he is laying next to me on the bed facing the other way still talking about it

The conditions are:

No take aways from now until (poss) holiday
No new toys bought for girls from now until (poss) holiday
Cut christmas budget
No birthday and christmas pressies between us two
Boot sale all our junk (and more)
He still gets the new lap-top he's wanted for a while.

All of which are no problemo....
we could be on our way.....
It's the timing that's going to be tricky because of his job - I would like to go the first two wks in Oct....

 

[Chilly]

Keep up the pressure!

 

[Minniespal]

October is always a great month to go. There is so much going on as well as the F&W Festival and MNSSHP.

Hope you are successful

 

[PoppyAnna]

It worked!
As you can see I have a new ticker and excited I am too!
Flights are booked, need to decide on which villa we want now....
DH doesn't want to do ADR's - just come and go as we please - that's fine by me.
