    Well I just need 2 adult bags now. I got the Tent from the Tesco deal, I've just ordered all sorts (stove, bags, pegs, etc) from my local B&Q (thanks to OP) and cooking stuff. About £120 all in so far. I reckon £200 should see everything we need. Not bad as as long as it gets plenty of use.
    I am firmly across the line. I won't impose my values on you if you keep away from mine.

    My OH works in our nearest B&Q and he's just text me to say that none of the items are in stock, even though it's letting you reserve them online. He even told me that some of the Gelert lines on the website were never even stocked at that store, again, in contradiction to the website telling you they are. B&Q are getting REALLY bad for this.

    Yeah I had a phone call telling me lots of the bits I ordered were out of stock. But they do have the tent I wanted so that's a plus.

    i got the tent, just un packed it and it looks very thin, as does the sleeping bags! the air beds are good though and for the price I think it will be ok for the odd night away in good weather. Now to find a cheap camping stove and cooking pans, non left in any of bandq stores :( tesco have the same but at 4 times the price
