Eating out one night, taking ready meals for the other two. Got dishwasher tabs and tea towels on list, what else?

Bird seed and nuts! ( if you're taking little ones!) my DS loved leaving right by the patio door for the squirrels and ducks. We had a swan tapping on the patio door!

Sharp kitchen knife.
Wooden spoon.
Kitchen roll.
Lube.

Duraflame logs from Home Bargains.

disposable bbq?

AnyFucker · 19/01/2014 20:29

Condoms and anal lube, I heard.

A kindle, your swimming stuff and some nice wine :)
We're going to Woburn when it opens, it says they don't have the Parc Market but more of a convenience store so I am wondering what it's going to be like getting stuff for meals - we go to the shop daily and everybody picks and chooses what they want that night as we don't eat out.

We usually take a clothes airer to dry swimming stuff/towels on. Folds flat so doesn't take up much room in the car. I love CP! Have a nice time.

Karaoke
Prosecco
Board games
Ground coffee
Croissants
Kitchen roll
Big mugs
Proper cereal bowls
Torch

We were at Winterfell last week and some people had LED lights outside their chalet to help them find it in the dark.

Thanks all, have added board games, bird seed, torch, croissants, kitchen roll to list. Will get logs there as nowhere near us sell them. Won't bother with wooden spoon etc as won't be cooking and we aren't fussy about mugs bowls etc

Corkscrew is added to list

Appreciate your replies

Torch and lots of money.

Mildpanic · 20/01/2014 18:10

Are you near an Aldi?, they have the firelogs at the moment much cheaper.
Don't forget a rucksack or two easy to carry bags for your swimming stuff.
Have a good time.

ParcMarket is ludicrously expensive, just to warn you.

zgaze · 20/01/2014 18:18

Firelogs from the supermarket, they're a third of the price. Good wine. Sounds silly but we always take a little side lamp, we find the living room lights too bright for relaxing evenings. And also night lights for the kids and a multi plug extension because there's never a socket free near the beds.

AF I heard those items might be useful. That or a kosh, anyway.

ToucanBlack · 20/01/2014 18:35

DVDs or Netflix! Especially if you have very young DC and will be stuck in in the evenings. (You can only have so much bum sex Wink)

AnyFucker · 20/01/2014 19:58

thank goodness for you, onefewernow and TB

I was beginning to think my contribution was about as welcome as explosive diarrhoea in a (Centerparcs) swimming pool Grin

VivaLeBeaver · 20/01/2014 20:01

Bike locks.

VivaLeBeaver · 20/01/2014 20:02

I was going to say lube but had been beaten to it. Grin
