Have decided to start a new thread so not to take over the what your doing discussion.

The question / discussion is the benefit of living in a caravan on a club site and moving every 21 days to living in a brick built solid home.

For me apart from the investment angle is -Holidays away in the van, if you lived in one then it's no longer a mobile holiday home.

What do others think.

even doing what I would call the jobs of the man.

You fought for equal rights, you are fighting for equal pay, now get out there and be an equal in the jobs that men are 'supposed' to to do.

It is a totally different thing to get paid for doing the same job as a man from a man sitting ( or lying) there watching a woman doing all the work!  laughing

There are many men willing to let the women do the heavy manual work and using the "equality rights" as an excuse not to do it themselves. Some have a disability than renders them unable to do it, but they tend to find a solution to assist the female.

I'm sure there must be C but i'm not one of them.  Other than putting up and taking down the awning together I do 99% of the outside chores.  Goes without saying if one is disabled then the other partner would take the lion share of task

My reply was to [Quote] "the jobs of a man" [Unquote]

Not to a lazy man, or a lazy woman, or a slave driver or whatever. Just what are these 'jobs of a man', are they written in stone for all to obey, is there a list somewhere?

In my book there is no defining, and all tasks are for each gender, and to be shared. Only limited by each of our own abilities.

It was a poor choice of words by 'Cariadon'.frown

I'm not too sure about the viability of the "additional bedrooms" in the weather were have had over the past few days. Anyone fancy the "guest room" at Malcolms?

Mea Culpa, I just let Fliss empty the house bins and go check the post and shut gate. As my arthritis is having a flare up I was glad to stay inside ..... I will be cooking the evening meal though as usual smile

We do the same but tend to spend a bit more than two nights away and not,then having to go back to the same pitch with the same view for another 21nightswink

You can spend as long away as you want to from your seasonal pitch. It just costs more to do so! There is also the freedom of the entire site network to choose from about where you want to stay!

That would be impossible in our situation, Metheven. Pizza Hut can't give my wife equal rights from me to a driving job for the simple reason that she hasn't got a full driving licence. So I go out to work whilst she pursues domestic tasks; which reminds me, I must get changed into my uniform  as I have to leave for work in 15 minutes. My wife is staying at home in the caravan whilst I'm at work this evening.

No, but the polite thing might be to give up your warm caravan bed to your guests and do the freezing awning annex bit yourself..... wink
