LucyCampCat · 24/05/2006 14:33

Thank you mercy! it must be somewhere in my tupperware container with all the utensils - very useful for keepiing knives in - away from prying fingers!

kitchen towel is to go in the bottom of the potty for dd2's early morning emergencies, tissues will probably stay in the car and the loo roll is for the loo bag as suggested by mb!

I do like to be organised though, and we do have a Zafira and roofbox! Blush

We're in N Wales KVG, feel free to pop in and say hello! Grin

LucyCampCat · 25/05/2006 15:22

oh and we only take food that will fit into the cool box, everything elae is going to be bought locally when we get there!
