All booked and ready to go, this year some of our friends and family want to join in the fun  and give camping a try, so to save the cars we have booked a man with a van to take all the camping gear down to the site £60 there and back between 4 of us is better than being loaded to the rafters. Also booked tesco delivery with the shopping, all we have to do is drive and pitch

well at 31 weeks preganat you need to cheat

I have booked supermarket deliveries when not pregnant - simply because there isn't enough room for food in with everything else and if you go shopping after you have pitched you are tired and hungry and don't tend to spend wisely. Now we make sure we sit down and eat before we start to pitch and have some kind of easy meal for the first evening.

Anything that makes life a little easier ( especially when you're 31 weeks pregnant!) makes it more of a holiday and that's what it's all about!

Sounds like a good plan to me. Hope you have a good time.

BTW, this might sound like a random question, but you didnt happen to pick up an inflatable couch from Wilkos the other week did you?

Great cheat, like anything that takes the stress and strain out of camping

I was the one who brought it to you. Saw the name Fiona and you were pregnant (remember you saying you were in past posts) and must go camping, so put 2 and 2 together. I was going to say "How is the Monty?" but thought if I was wrong you would think that Wilkos were doing a Care in the Community programme.


Hope you have a lovely time.

....and that your not staying on one of those sites that now refuses groceries being delivered by the large supermarket chains,and tries to send them back to store if they do, its all changed since last season, and there banned on the main club sites and some privately owned ones too!

Good luck with the new baby when it arrives, our eldest daughter is also expecting a little boy at the end of July and is also 31 weeks pregnant, whilst our next youngest is just 9 weeks pregnant, and due around Christmas, after suffering a string of miscarriages in the past, so were all praying that this little one stays put till D-day!
