| |  Hello friends
Well i have just introduced myself to the 'newbie' board, i am heading off your way pretty soon, we have a holiday booked for the 1st October, for 2 weeks, we are staying at the Windsor Hills complex, cant wait to see the lovely big house, ours are so tiny compared to yours LOL, we are a family of 7, living in a 3 bed house...with one bathroom...only one toilet LOL, so if anyone can tell me of any decent vouchers/coupons i could use to bring down our spending as there will be 10 of us in total.
Bye for now

Welcome! I'm guessing you are visiting Florida (that seems to be where most Brits are posting about)? I'm not in Florida, am in Virginia; but I'm sure some Florida shoppers will offer tips.

If it's Florida, we were just there and I'd be happy to share both some coupons and some ideas about how to save money there!

Wow! I can't even imagine sharing a bathroom with that many people!! When our friend Doug came over from Hastings for a vacation a couple of years ago he just kept telling us how much room there is over here. He was so blown away by how "spread out" everything is. He told us that in the UK everyone is "stacked up" on top of each other with no room to breathe. He hopes to be moving to the US in the near future and we can't wait to welcome him back to Texas!
There are lots of HCW members in Florida so I'm sure they will come up with some money-saving tips for you. Hope you have a great time on your vacation!

Thanks for the welcome, and i would LOVE any help with eating out/groceries ect we are only in Florida for 2 weeks, on 'vacation' as you say.
Yes us brits dont have much space LOL, the thing is house prices are so expensive here we cant afford to buy, so we rent, if it was our own property i would turn the outside building into a utility and downstairs toilet.
Makes me laugh when i watch the US Extreme makeover home edition, and it shows a family of 4 sharing 1 bathroom/toilet (is that a closet to Americans?) and they seem so shocked at that, maybe they should come here and build me a lovely american sized home 
Well must get on and sort my youngest child, he wants a story.

wow, I wouldn't even look at a house if it only had one bathroom! That is crazy, there are 5 of us and no sane way to share lol!!
I would go to the visitor's centers for coupons. Florida Visitor Centers
here is a link, I don't know exactly where you'll be staying, but there's many links to different areas, then when you click on them they give you the option to receive brochures either in pdf or via mail. They have a coupon booklet that you might find interesting.
HTH! Have a fun holiday! |

Sadly thats just the way it is over here with housing, many people are with just one toilet, house prices are so very hight at the minute, onbody can afford to buy.

So any help would be fab, 10 of us in our holiday party so eating out will cost a fair bit.
