Dishwasher tablets, dish cloth, board games/cards

TheBucktoothedGirlFromLuxembourg · 09/05/2024 20:21

A sharp knife
Kitchen roll
Salt
A bag for life or two
Assuming you are taking some food then don't forget
Olive oil
Butter
Orange juice

Also pack a couple of plastic carrier bags. Perfect for wet swimming gear and also covering bike saddles in case of rain.

A few 20p coins for those cozzie dryers in the pool changing rooms.

A decent pan/wok if you’re cooking.

Loo roll / kitchen roll

A couple of dishwasher tablets as they only leave two.

Yes yes to peanuts for the squirrels.

DVDs for the kids (can you tell I’ve not been for ages!)

The money you got for selling your kidney.

In seriousness though, a power strip. Never enough bloody plugs and if they are there they’re always in a stupid position.

You're all making this sound like the worst kind of Self catering holiday ever...

Bin liners (for excess booze waste)

We always forget salt, oil and ketchup.

ZoChan · 09/05/2024 21:02

An extra airing horse. There's only one so swimming towels don't dry quickly enough for the next days swimming. This was more in autumn winter - with the nice weather at the moment, you may not need to do this

RichPetunia · 09/05/2024 21:03

Bath mat and throws.

If you want to watch stuff from your iPad then you can use a HDMI cable to plug into the TV.
