hi guys,
we're planning to go for a holiday in spain or paris with my family this year but im not sure if i will be allowed to go out of UK with my current visa? (spouse visa/leave to remain)

Yes you need to obtain visa as UK is not a part of Schengen states (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schengen_Visa). I got mine when I was still in Pinas. I paid travel insurance, travel tax, visa fee, but ticket was free
