6 reasons why you should take a holiday

If you would love a break from the daily grind but something holds you back, just think there are hundreds of last minute bargains to amazing destinations to be had. For the non-believers here are 6 reasons you should take the chance and book that holiday you so deserve.

1. You can do it on the cheap.

I know times are hard and $600 upfront seems like an awful lot, but if you take a step back to think about it you will discover that you would spend that amount in a few weeks anyway. After the weekly supermarket shop, a few weekend nights spent out drinking and maybe a brief shopping trip, the amount you spend really adds up. Yes maybe you will have to cut back on your pub trips for a few weeks on your return, or not buy that new pair of shoes but does it really matter? You will have had a fantastic break.

2. Getting out the office.

Nothing feels better than the last day at work before a holiday, walking out the door with a smug smile on your face leaving all your depressed colleagues behind.

3. It’s cold.

No denying it, English weather is rubbish, summer or winter, its cold rainy and crap. We moan about it all the time but it is for very valid reasons.

4. See some smiling faces.

People are grumpy back home; the commute to work is full of frowning faces and the sound of sighs. It’s brilliant to get away and see some smiling new faces.

5. No skipping the good things.

On holidays rules are off, that means you don’t have to worry about cutting back on the amount you eat, about sticking carefully to that diet or quitting smoking. You are on holiday to enjoy yourself so you are free to do just that.

6. Time to yourself.

It’s the same old story, the weekend arrives and instead of being able to relax, read that book you have been meaning to finish or go to a gallery you have a list of errands to run. The weekly food shop, the laundry the cleaning, sometime it seems endless. On holiday however all you need to do is wake up, eat a leisurely breakfast and lie by the pool all day. What more could you want?
