    You're probably right. The advantage we had going this week was that me n the kids are off school, so could get there lunchtime and work out how to put the tent up in a leisurely manner :rolleyes:

    IA - I love it, though your arm looks VERY sore :eek:

    I would have a few dummy runs nearby, then on the day( it will be soon!) will go up with ease:D

    Well, it's a 7 1/2 metre tent, so the garden aint big enough. I might nip in school and ask the Head if I can borrow her playing field :D

    DH does seem confident he knows how to do it, we just need to buy some better pegs.

    I'm still dabbling in the bank account and on Excel, hoping to find a spare few quid from somewhere :rotfl:
    Is it better to aim for the stars and hit a tree or aim for a tree and land in its branches :think:

    Ooh everyone is getting tired and grumpy here at work - flipping stroppy lecturers who look down on admin staff (only a small percentage of lecturers I should say but grrr to them). Only an hour and a half to go though! :rolleyes:

    I really need to know exactly what is happening and where as I'm travelling such a long way really with pants connections....is it Sat and Sun? Does anyone know? Or just Sat/Sat evening? Trains back to Poole on a Sunday are horrible. I don't want to end up booking a hotel for Sunday I don't need (or a train for Monday when I could have travelled on the Sunday)

    Halfords and sales..storm tent pegs are great and get one of those peg puller things if you haven't already got some:D

    As far as I know Keren, it's more of a Sat/sat night thang!
    I know we'll be going to Ryan's b-day part on the Sun and I will most likely have a wee hangover (although, no where near Len's at the last meet! lol)

    Does that help?

    so, it's all happening at Smashed's place? Or Leeds during the day/Smashed at night? I'm just thinking about getting the best placed hotel really.
