I had been doing so well the last few months, my campaholism had been lying dormant but yesterday I had a relapse & bought the inflatable sofa for the tent, it'll be a slippery slope from here on in!


You're not alone :-)

Which sofa did you buy?
I've inflated it today, it says air-o-sofa bed on the box, its black & its wicked!

Im banned from GO outdoors, but sneak regularly to Caseys which is conveniently behind a large garden centre closeby - I know we don't 'need' anything but theres always a gizmo in there which winks at me, plus they have a great tent display complete with fully dressed life size dummies (a bit weird) but great for a nosey around.  I also like Discover I never miss an aisle out in their accessories section and almost never leave empty handed.

I would love a 'bargain' cadac with all the accessories but such things just don't exist

Well I came out of my visit to G O relatively unscathed and my "Plastic" untouched overspent the gift voucher by a couple of pounds but that was covered by what I had in my pocket..Had a few wobbly moments in the camping lantern aisle humming and ha ing over several lamps till my daughter got fed up..and reminded me I have two perfectly servicible lamps at home!!! And after the obligatory wander through the pitched tents section I left...I done good and think I might handle going back again later in the season..............

It always rains on tents. Rainstorms will travel thousands of miles, against prevailing winds for the opportunity to rain on a tent.

Hi pager33...

I found the Kampa closets on Riverways leisure. I did reserach b4 I bought them and everywere else were at least £10 more....hence why I bought 2!

I have just found a Kampa washing up stand and bowl for £16.99 and they are usually £22 and upwards. This was with 'thetentteam'. Oh no......can feel another purchase coming on!!!! But DH said we got a washing up bowl so why do we need to buy it? Can he not see the advantages and the bargain!!!???!! DUH!!

thanks catalan, I just bought a washing up stand and bowl off ebay for £13.98 including P&P. Worth a look as some have sold for less since then. Mines identical to the Kampa one. Dont know if I'll get that much use out of it but I wanted it LOL

There is obviously no hope for any of us!!!!

I was getting the camping itch a few weeks ago and ended up buying 3 camping cook books!!!!
Have to say there are some delicious recipes in them so I will be extending my camping cuisine reportiore this year!!

Roll on Easter!!
