I used an electric under-blanket on my blow up bed, and it was brilliant!

It has a boost function to warm the bed up quickly. I put the pj's under the duvet while it was on boost, so they were nice and warm when I needed to change into them for bed!

I've seriuosly thought about it but can't. The thought of utter peace and quiet is almost irrisistable, but the cold, the cold, brrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.

Still thinking about a February camp, but a lot will depend on the weather.  I've ordered the Carolina L carpet which will fit in the bedroom of the Carolina 3, I think, so will add some extra insulation.  I've also booked a cheeky day off work on Friday - His Nibs thinks I'm getting my hair done and "doing lunch" with my Mum and a bit of retail therapy.  All this is true, but I may have to nip in B&M's to have a look at that heater I heard about.  His Nibs says I'm not normal.  Normal women apparently want bags and shoes, I want camping gear  - sounds perfectly normal to me  I am trying to talk His Nibs into a trip in October half term, again it depends on the weather.

Another just like me.  I HATE SHOPPING!  I can think of nothnig worse than traipsing round shops trying on clothes or looking at curtains and only do so under duress.   The internet is a wonderful thing, it cuts all that out.  But, put me in a camping shop or the camping bit of a hardware shop and I am happeeeee.  Most woman think I'm not normal (and probably men do too LOL),
