[Wolfgirl]

If I have to think about one more list to make, my head will self-explode.

Off camping in two weeks, just for weekend, please, has someone already made a list, or can they make me a list?

I have DS 3.5 and DD 17 months to think of too.

many hugs in advance and much kissing of feet. xx

ready beds
loads of extra blankets
torches and batteries
toys for kids incase of rain
more blankets
towels
camp chairs
boxes with lids for plates etc and food
cool bags and ice packs
Freeze food and store for 2nd night, defrosts perfect for cooking.
extra socks for nighttime
washing up bowl
loads of alcohol!!
freezr capri suns or OJ for kids and let defrost slowly!

cant think now but thats a basic starter! Went camping with 17 month old and 5 and 6 year olds!!!!!

Tent

matches
some outdoor games for the children to play with, eg football
towels (more than you think you need, in case it's wet, and hard to dry them)
Copious supplies of alcohol

And a chopping board for food preparation

We camp a bit rough-and-ready, so this may not be the Ultimate List:
tent
gas stove
beds - DH & I like a blow-up bed best (get a pump that plugs into the cigarette lighter on the car)
bedding
more bedding
(most of this you can just take the second-best stuff from the kitchen
cooking pans
kettle for a gas stove (vital, water takes ages to boil in pan)
utensils (spatulas, knife, wooden spoons etc)
chopping boards
unbreakable crockery
cutlery you don't mind losing
coolbag or box and freezy blocks
washing up bowl
at least 1 teatowel per day - they always get lost, wet, and/or filthy
torches (head torches v good)
lantern for tent (battery NOT gas)
waterproofs
clothes inc swimwear lots of socks, warm pyjamas and spare jumpers for wearing in bed
towels you don't mind getting muddy (second best again)
wellies or something else that's really waterproof.
chairs & table
basic foods from storecupboard at home to save buying new packets (tea coffee sugar oil salt pepper w-up liquid rice pasta jam marmite wine herbs spices)
more wine
some more wine just in case
string,
elastic bungees etc
scissors,
penknife with saw in case wood fire opportunity arises
matches and gas lighter that works in rain/wind
corkscrew
books to read,
indoor amusments for children in case weather horrid
maps,
guidebooks
kites, frisbees, beachballs etc as your taste runs
picnic rug for lying out on
baseball hat (fetching I know) to wear under waterproof to stop rain dripping off hood into eyes
bandanna or similar to cover unwashed hair, or wear the baseball hat.
two-in-one showergel/shampoo - several bottles as one will get lost
suncream
lip balm
huge 10l thing of mineral water you can refill to save constant dashes to tap
plastic crates w lids for packing it all in

, but LOs sometimes better on camp beds.oh, and

woolly hats for sleeping in if cold !
sun hats and sun cream
insect repellant
calpol/nurofen/ etc

Likeyyyyyyyyy likeeeeee! feelin mucho better-oh. very nicey.

Gonna do a spreadsheet so I can see all the duplicates.

thanks ladies you lovely wonderful people. xx

lots of carrier bags and bin bags for dirty / wet things as well as rubbish

has anyone said hot-water bottles

OOh, yes agree with carrier bags.

kitchen roll

clothes pegs - to dry tea/ordinary towels on the guys

(also good for resealing packets cereal, coffee etc)

Loo roll - in case the loo in the campsite doesn't have any, or only has that stuff like tracing paper which your granny used to have, and which doesn't actually absorb anything! Some campsites do actually have this stuff, incredible as it may seem.

Yes Mrs B - that was meant to be the second part of my sentence!

We always take slippers or toasties to keep our feet warm as no shoes allowed to be worn in our tent (just hate the dirt and grass all over).

aha! thought of one of me own - water carrier - aha! i can think for myself (sometimes) LOL

A bucket with a lid

a bucket! uh oh, dont have one with a lid.

Potty for me at night time rofl - no no not funny though, tis true. xx

Get one with a lid - you don't want the contents getting knocked all over the groundsheet
