We are going camping tomorrow. Weather forecast is shit. DH is a miserable bastard and we are not talking. Kids are fighting. I'd rather be at work.

Agree with a PP leave dog at home with DH & go with kids.

What part of the country are you going to? Most places are showing no worse than 'light rain' over the next week or so. And no rain at all on many days.

Can we advise on good local things to do?

Is it possible to leave the dog so that you have a bigger choice of indoor places to visit?

We are off camping tomorrow too... plus a puppy.
I am taking lots of wine....

A bar & an indoor pool? Call that camping! Grin

Have you used your tent before? So long as you know it’s leakproof you will be fine. The worst thing for me would be having a wet dog in the tent.

I love camping even in shit weather
If there's an indoor pool, job's a good one
I'd go and have fun and leave the miserable beggar behind.
HAVE AN ACE TIME

I would leave dh with dog at home and see if you can rope in a good friend instead? Take wellies and waterproofs, music, buckets of wine and you will have a ball!

Have a staycation instead. Let kids camp indoors and run a bit wild and treat yourselves to a takeaway.

Sounds like my fella miserable git....is it the weather that's put him in a mood.....doesn't take much for the male hormone to kick in....

Ticklemeelmo · 13/08/2019 19:08

How about get a nice Airbnb instead?

“Let kids camp indoors and run a bit wild”
They are 15 and 16!

We are here. It's absolutely pissing down and 40mph winds but the forecast is better for tomorrow. Moods have improved 😂
Fingers crossed it won't be a total disaster. Must go, puddles to attend to in tent! 🙈🙈
