we use a nappy bucket (they have lids) from mothercare for less than a tenner - and add a little zoflora in - loads cheaper than a portable loo and dead easy to clean!

as for lighting - the little round UFO led lights are amazingly good and incredibly small!! asda do them for a couple of quid and poundland sell them too.

you can pick up some good bargains this time of year - good luck!

our tenting list for 2 adults, went something like this ( not stating the obvious, i.e the tent itself),

 1/ tent footprint,2/ breathable ground sheet, 3/ 1 lge tarpaulin ( once had a leaky tent, tarp' made a good emergancy cover),4/ cool box x 2 ( 1 elec', 1 non elec', packed with beer and ice ready for when tent eventually erected ),  5/portable telly & radio,6/ wind up hand torch ( for night time jaunts to toilet block etc), 7/ inflatable mattress & pump , 8/ sleeping bags, 9/ 2 ring gas stove & extra gas canisters, 10/ small portable bbq, cutlery (inc can opener ) , 11/ large LED re-chargable lantern, 12/ couple of good books, 13/ camp chairs (1 pp), 14/ some pots & pans, 15/ few odds 'n' sods clohes and shoes wise, 16/ towels 'n' toiletries,  17/ anti histamenes, head ache pills, diahorrea tablets,

To all of you - thank you soo much!!

Rather than panic buying half of Go Outdoors - i'm now able to go away and buy a little more wisely.

You're a great bunch of people.

If you spot a brand new Kalahari 8 tent, with 2 hyper kids and a knackered looking Dad - on a camp-site near you - call round for a beer!!! ;-))

Cheers, Chris.
