    If you are tight for space pack clothing (towels & bedlinen if it's not provided) in 1 of those vacuum bag's you can pick up in poundland, your stuff will go down to a third of the size. I'd also say a decent knife like everyone else. Have a fab time.
    Booo!!!

    Love Jojo's list, much more economical than mine usually is.

    When my friend and I took our 3 toddlers to a caravan park for a 5 day stay, we took 17 bags full of stuff!
    :eek::eek:

    Most of it was food, clothes, toys, and nappies for the littlest one, plus a travel cot/playpen to keep him enclosed and safe from the other two horrors!

    We did take a HUGE bottle of gin and a couple of bottles of lemonade. We ran out of lemonade by the end of the first night and I can remember being up chatting at 4am, drinking neat gin. Surprisingly enough, we woke at around 7am, feeling great. Must have been all that sea air! :rotfl:

    :rotfl:I'd be frazzled if I took everything that you good people have listed on this thread :eek:

    Do yourself a favour OP and either stay at home or book a hotel - much less stressful :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:
    It's nice to be important, but it's more important to be nice.
