Friend of mine took an air freshner camping with her!! She didn't want DH's walking boots to pong the tent out!

OK my wine is now in with my food supplies, so that's not needed in this list.

  1. last few years I'd have said my wine glass holders, metal sticks you put in the ground, circle to hold glass. I kept buying plastic glasses that didn't fit, so kept taking the glass ones, also not good for kids cups, or your coffee!

Last month (4 for a £1) I found these little square, flat bits of plastic, with 4 tiny spikes to put in the ground. Used them several times already this year, perfect for that glass of wine, can of beer, coffee, coke can, orange juice of the kids .

  1. Fleece blankets, one for each tent resident. Ideal for snuggling up outside in the evenings.
  1. Bucket BBQ, again heat in the evening.
  1. Mashmellows
  1. Chocolate Digestives

Hmmmm I need a 6 for the skewers. Outside wrapped in blanket, around the BBQ, with chocolate digestives and mashmellows BUT need a stick to cook the mashmellows.

Blueblob · 06/05/2008 00:37

OH, I've made a terrible mistake! I'm ditching the mashmellows (and skewers) for my Luggable Loo. The kids won't be pleased, until they wake at 4am and don't want to step outside the tent. I'll be very pleased because there will be more room inside me for wine
