rofl!
It looks like you need to pack a wink….always handy I suppose
It didn’t look like that when I wrote it, but I don’t think it’s a bad plan…
How fortuitous that you write this now as small person is going camping for a week from saturday. I have been able to double check that I have everything packed that she needs
Ta muchly Jax, you’re a star.
Tim (that would be my Tim, not Jax’s!)says TV, Video, Music centre, *phone charger*…. he doens’t get this roughing it does he…
Wireless Card, laptop, spare battery.
Tim, you are on the right track but what you really need is not a tent, but a trailer tent with electric hook-up, mains water and drainage etc
I think for this very reason, other half was so keen to get a tt and I suspect we shall also be taking such electrical equipment as mentioned above. All in the name of keeping everyone happy of course
Katy – what is this ‘roughing it’ of which you speak? I am with the two Tim’s on this one
Well you could add all that stuff into the Portico list and it would suit them perfectly
Sad thing is, I just had to sit and cross-reference this list with mine, just in case.
And added phone charger to the bottom of my list after reading the comments.
well, at least you have tent poles on the list!!!
