and while we're at it - what could I have forgotten???

[FAQ]

to take with me??

I've already got the Ds's clothes sorted, have bedding for DS3, nappies, wipes etc, towels, toiletries, toys, baby monitor, milk, bottles etc etc, camera (and batteries) , neurofen and calpol, snacks for the trip, phone charger, what have I forgotten???

What could I suddenly need when away from home with 3 young DS's and no decent shops within short walking distance??

thermometer, plasters
Where are you going?

don't own a thermometer He should have plasters in. - I'm staying with my DB in his flat on the outskirts of Edinburgh. Don't really know the area very well and it's not a particularly nice area - and as he'll be out most of the days we're there I don't really want to be wandering the local streets looking for shops too often LOL.

lots of entertainment,are you going to stay in all the time? surely cant be that bad that you cant go for a walk?

no - I'll be getting the bus into town most days, meeting up with some old friends/mn'ers etc etc. Just the local area not very nice and from what DB tells me of the local "play" areas - not somewhere I'd be wanting to take the DS's to play !

ok - going to be packing the reset of the things that can be packed tonight - I don't want DH to turn round when he gets in and say "oh have you got x,y,z" and me to say no........
