To think dh is mad??? he is camping out in garden with dd tonight!!

[ELR]

i know its a reasonably warmish night but i am sitting in here with heating on .
Dh and dd have pitched a tent and lit a bonfire and are camping out.
Dd says this is the best night ever, i have been ordered to supply popcorn in about an hour!!!

How sweet! Agree that your dh must be a bit on the crazy side though!

Rather them than me! Still, enjoy the peace and quiet while it lasts- they'll probably sneak back in before long! Great that you d and dh can have fun together like this

Your DH sounds wonderful. It will get cold though so they may not last the night outside. Enjoy the peace.

He is a loon.

LOL sounds fab. slightly barking but fab.

i know it is nice, planning a nice bit of telly with some chocs i think, just making the popcorn now
i will up date when they come in i give them till 10pm!!

Sounds barking but enjoy having the bed to yourself (although I doubt they will last the night!!)

just been out there all they have is a quilt laying on the ground sheet!!!! will have to find them something to lay on or they will freeze.
ds who is only 3 wants to join them but i have said no, he is not impressed.

Aw I think it's lovely. A daughter/dad adventure.

(As long as I didn't have to be involved that is. I struggle with camping in the summer! )

Be on standby with hot chocolate and toast though

Def in by 10 I thought he had all the gear etc they will freeze as it is as cold from the floor as it is from the air!!!

I think it sounds fabulous and will be a night she'll look back on when she's old and grey, as one of the highlights of her childhood.

How wonderful I wish my STBXH would do things like that with DD1

Sounds like so much fun!

Good childhood memories in the making.

tonight?!¬ brr

Sounds mad but also pretty great

Winter solstice? Sounds great.

AAAWWW - sounds fab. My dd has pestering dh for ages to take her camping but he's too much of a wuss to do it right now.

In saying that its pretty mild here tonight (herts/essex border) - shame he's still at work.

well dd has just come in for a wee and says they are going to go to sleep now.
They have just finished watching Tinkerbell on the laptop, i have been told to leave the kitchen door unlocked and turn all the lights off so lets see how long they last!!!!
Must admit its pretty mild 8/9 degrees we are in kent

He is a fucking hero.

Have they still got just a quilt on the ground sheet???? surely not. That will be quite cold.

they have got a sleeping bag to sleep on with the quilt over them!!!

Sounds great, I wouldn't want to do it, but I like his spirit!

Wonder if they'll end up coming inside to sleep at about midnight?

you're so not in Scotland are you?!?

Phew!!!

part of me is a little bit jealous. Sounds like fun.
