    We just got a really cheap big clothes airer. Only £3.75 from Tesco, but nearly £20 on Amazon for the same one. Dead pleased, been looking for one for ages :D
    Is it better to aim for the stars and hit a tree or aim for a tree and land in its branches :think:

    Ok Spudly.

    We've got the trailer tent so will be trying it out lots hopefully!


    I find tent pegs help ;)

    That's pants Gemz

    We used tent pegs, but not sure they were decent ones. Had to get the kids to stand on it while we took it down. arguing and very stressed. We made the mistake on arrival of chosing beach-side instead of shelter. Ahh well, we live and learn ehh :o

    Aww Gemmz, that's awful.
    I would love to see The Kooks, but I'm a bit too far away.....unless you happen to be travelling to Manchester to see them.

    I have no desire to go camping :D

    Gems? where are they playing? and how many tickets?

    I can't use them but I could put an announcement on my facebook page, some of my friends might be mad enough to mad enough to go?
    Nevertheless she persisted.

    Morning all, Not a regular poster on this thread unlike my sis (bank of slate) but I like to see what peeps are up to. I'm not usually up to much hence more lurking than posting but OH has just announced we're off to the beach shortly so he can try to swim in the sea in the wetsuit he's just bought from ebay as he's doing the London Triathlon on 2nd August and so far he's only swam in the pool. Suggested he best have a go as the Thames will be a wee bit colder!! So I'm going to sit in the beachside cafe with a nice latte and chuckle at him in the North Sea!! :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:
    Good wine needs to breathe, if it stops breathing try mouth to mouth.

    morning all.

    Sally - hope you pop back on again today. when I was scouting around for Lou yesterday looking up stuff at Poole and Bournemouth college, I noticed they are doing sugar craft courses starting in September. I don't know what any of their courses are like, but the details are there if you wanted to have a look.

    Bun - did you sort out the ebay blokey about your trailer?
    :D"Stay Wonky":D
