    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

    One you (all of you including the kids) get into a routine, then you can put it up and take it down in all weathers without any sort of hassle whatsoever.

    They don't seem to take any responsibility for it. I even tried my brother's friends at a knockdown rate, they've sold for £10-£15 each on Ebay. *sigh* Better than nothing though.

    Drop them. They're always going to be irresponsible spongers.

    ICBINB is grey slime mixed with other oils.

    That's a relatively good guide for how it's done if you have any kind of background in organic chemistry (incl GCSE)

    Nope. I used to do it when we went camping. Once you're in a routine, you don't even need to talk. You know where to go next and what to unzip and where to stand/sit to keep what bit down.

    It's like a dance... ;)

    Yeah, with my brother and his girlfriend. Not the best company but better than going totally alone.

    You're probably right. I seem to attract friends like that.

    You could always buy the original "I can't believe it's not butter".

    Butter.

    I agree with Lou, Luc! When you feel up to it and ready pack little man up and go! Tell us where and we'll meet you. DH would love it-he thought you and hubbles were really great (and DH is always shy when he meets people and takes a while to warm to them normally)

    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!

    I have camping gear too! :T

    It'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.
