There will be better places than Halfords to get camping stuff.
I'm sure there are but having never done it before the idea of everything in one bag really appeals....seemed like a reasonable price for everything involved too.
It was one of those mad whimsical notions that in days gone past would have lead to a quick trip with the credit card....I did actually sit and work out just how many times I'd be able to use it this year... (3 seperate saturdays) and realised that it wasn't worth the investment."Start every day off with a smile and get it over with" - W. C. Field.0 -
Hello eveyone :wave:
Had to call the mortgage company yesterday to get some figures together regarding buying out FL (aka MB).
Anyway, as I have never changed my payments with the drop in interest rate I discovered that I have been overpaying by £145 a month and have reduced my term from 21 years to 12.5 :T :T
Hope everyone is well

Wow!!! That's a great reduction."Start every day off with a smile and get it over with" - W. C. Field.0 -
Wow!!! That's a great reduction.
I know it will go back up again because I have to buy him out and the rate is likely to go back up but I still feel a little sense of achievement:heartpuls baby no3 due 16th November :heartpulsTEAM YELLOWDFD 16/6/10"Shut your gob!

Camping takes a fair bit of organisation!
...Linda xxIt's easy to give in to that negative voice that chants "cant do it" BUT we lift each other up.
We dont count all the runners ahead of us & feel intimidated.
Instead we look back proudly at our journey, our personal struggle & determination & remember that there are those that never even attempt to reach the starting line.0 -

We can do a DFW camping weekend! Pepe, me and Snags and Spudly all have the gear that I know of! It'd be GREAT!
We're up for that:j Hubbles loves the idea:D Might need to trade in the 3 man dome tent for a 4 man frame tent though...

Hubbles is a BMW driver - he is the exception that proves the rule (though I never did understand the logic of that comment)

I don't do camping... I'm far too much of a southerner for that nonsense.
:hello: hi everyone, I'm still around. I'm just working through some 'stuff' at the moment so on top of the pms which is dragging on this month I'm not much fun to be aroundI'm being a proper friend and staying the hell away from civilisation.
