  • BBB the only thing I can spot as missing on your list is a water carrier or some sort. The only extras if it were us would be the gas or the electric kettle, I wouldn't take both and I would leave the egg poacher as I always make mine in the frying pan filled with water. What about a ballie for BESSIE to play with? Hope that's useful, Cheers Lyn xxx.

    For water, I have an excellent travelling affair - a water bottle with a hinged drinking trough

    My water carriers aren't for travelling.

    I've no intention of carrying around 88lbs of water. :eek:

    They're for HOME water storage, in the event of a mains water failure.

    BTW. What dog food :huh:

    I am currently trying to plan a DIY one under a shed floor, but put off by what to do with the spoil.

    Hello RJ

    For some reason I had a mental picture of that Colditz film, where they take out the spoil from the tunnel down their trouser legs, and walk it about the prison yard! Could be worth a try to keep things opsec? :)

    Hello Mrs LW

    Ooh, forgot to say OH has bought a collapsible water carrier with a tap. And we are definitely taking her ball and throwing stick. Yes! I can leave something out! The egg poacher can go!!

    Thanks Mrs LW

  • Pineapple started her post with "BB", rather than "BBB", so I thought she was addressing me.
