Oh well! At least you know what to pack first next time!
I KNOW we are going to forget something this weekend. I just don't know what it will be yet. But I keep telling myself that as long as we have somewhere to sleep, then we are only going to Cheshire. Not Outer Mongolia. Whatever we need I'm sure I can find a 24 hr Tesco that will have it!
Our last holiday, two weeks in Norfolk, my hubby forgot to pack the electronics box. We had no iPad, no phone chargers, no food mixer, no hair dryer, no anything that needed any kind of electric. (This was a cottage not a tent, just to add, I wouldn't take my food mixer in a tent!!)
I didn't really care, but my hubby and son went into iPad withdrawal within about 2 hours of arrival! He even started looking into how much it would cost to get a courier to pick it up and bring it to us!!
Sounds typical. hehehehheheee guaranteed that some one will forget something. I always do.

I'm really sorry to hijack this post (grovel, grovel please forgive me coz I'm a newbie!!) but where are you going in Cheshire RachIN76? We're based just outside Manchester and are looking for somewhere fairly close to head off to for the weekend either Cheshire or Lancashire way.
Thank you

Thanks RachIN76 - that looks lovely and is nice and close. Unfortunately OH is being mean and says we can't go away this weekend now Although, on the upside it is because we're getting a towbar for the car which he has to fit this weekend so we can get a trailer to take our camping stuff in And he has promised we can go away next weekend instead. Yay! So, we'll have to organise to be tent twins another time!!!
Thanks also babycake for the suggestions - we've been to Derbyshire the last couple of times and love it but just wanted something even closer to us just to nip to for the weekend (was trying to sneak an extra trip in between our Derbyshire jaunts without giving OH a reason to moan about pennies!!)
