So what are we all buying this year?

[ENormaSnob]

I need an electric cool box.

Ehu.

Water carrier.

Sleeping bag for ds2.

Maybe a new table for outside and a new sim.

What do you need?

Any recommendations welcomed

Cutting the hole was easy.....the 10mins looking at the canvas before I cut the hole was NOT easy though. Got a bit stressed before but it really was a breeze. If you think it will fit the precut hole you should order the flue kit from soulpad. There are measurements on the camping solutions site so when you have the tent up you can measure it out to see if it would fit. If we have ours up soon I'll measure and send you a message.

NOT flue kit from Soulpad, I ment the Flashing kit(Silicone sleeve thing) Damn these technical names! I'm quite a simple lass!

Thanks, yes if you do have it up and remember to measure it for me I'd appreciate it. I'll have to get mine up soon and have a look at where the hole is.

Was supposed to be away this week but kids been puking! Joy! May try and get away for a wee weekend when they recover, I'll message you. Off now to watch some Breaking Bad on TV. You enjoy planning your camping with stove....it's the best.

We have already done our first purchase of EHU.

Also would like to get some picnic blanket/s to use as a tent carpet.

Then maybe-
Upgrade sleeping bags for 2 youngest DC, need to measure them and see how much they grown first.
Tent extension? Been looking at if a different brand would fit our current tent, but not sure it gives us that much extra space.
Kitchen stand or table for this purpose, being dead fussy over this as not found the perfect one yet.
If I win the lottery- am buying a trailer tent!

We are getting 2 ready beds for the dc, an electric coolbox, an electric hook up :o

Some SIMs for us as DS's one is far comfier than our argos value rubbishairbed.
But apart from that, I am being an atypical camper and not coveting anything new this year!

apart from an insulated mug!

VivaLeBeaver If you want that oven order it and have it shipped to me,Ill send it on to you no problem. Amazon has them for $192

Thanks for the offer, I'm too skint at the minute to guy it though. IVe just bought a Dutch oven for £20 to go on top of the stove so I'll see how I get on with that. Kind of you to offer though.

I want to get a decent coffee maker, a new table to replace the blue table chair thing we have at the moment and a carpet for the tent. Quite restrained for me

We've bought a Montana 6 this month and are on the look out for 2 SIM's.

Then all we need to order is some decent weather and we will be camping.

Gonna get the kids some alpkit sleeping mats to replace the old aldi ones

My Dd's both need new sleeping bags and they both want square ones.

I am struggling to find some within my budget though.

DP wants a new table [god knows why].

Picnic blankets in Aldi this week if anyone cares.

OMG - I knew I shouldnt have 'popped' into TK Maxx while the DSs were watching Pirates at the cinema.

Fell in love with a gorrrrrrgeous ethnic rug which is 5'x8' and beautifully soft. Couldnt justify the purchase for the bell tent!

Oh, what the heck, why the need to justify!!

Roof bars. An extra family member means we've lost half the back seat. (But he's cute so we'll forgive him :o )

Also sleeping bag, SIM and whatever else is required for a baby to camp. Hmm need to research that...

I got a new trailer :o

Old US army 1/4 ton jobby. Dh is doing it up as a chuck wagon for me. Deepcycle battery ( solar rechargeable) so we can gave some electric if we need it, work top that will clip on the side with a removable sink and a working tap.Led lighting :o

Hes planning on making a new top for it and painting it as a big union jack :o

Wont we look inconspicuous driving up the highway with that. Im sooo excited about it

Oh yeah and we can get the rest of our camping kit in it too :o
