omo, sometimes it helps to switch to a new brand. My tablets work for a few months and then my body seems to become immune

Eta you have eye plugs !

Eye plugs! :eek: Sounds scary!!

I see you've had a few more tips, if I think of anything else I will let you know. I'd never heard of Saxmundham, just had a quick look and it looks lovely. I'm like you freespirit, all this talk of camping is making me want to go!!

Nanamia hope you're having a fabulous time down under! Have you visited the Christmas shop yet? So sorry to hear about your SiL, boy she is going through it. I'm sure she knows you're there for her and I hope she recovers from this soon.

Freespirit well done for your son! :T Great result. You must be so excited about having him back home!

Has anyone checked out the Accessorize sale? I bought a few bits yesterday, there's lots of good bits and pieces for girls and a lot of resonably priced stuff in the sale. Only downside is £3.95 p&p, but could be worth it if you have a big enough order. http://uk.accessorize.com/uk/accessorize-sale

Been a while since I've been camping (and it was only 3 nights a year for a festival) but hubby used to take a mirror, so he could shave. My essential is an eye mask because I don't want to wake up as soon as the sun rises. Wind up torch was handy too. Ooh, I always got really cold feet (even though it was August when we camped), so wool socks might be handy. Stay warm even if they're wet.

Am trying to resist the Dotcomgiftshop sale. They keep adding more things to it and I'm so tempted, but I should be clearing stuff out, not buying more!

Bought a Christmas prezzie today :j

My cousin has a Truth charm bracelet and I saw H.Samuel were doing the Christmas Stocking charm for £9 instead of £36 - bargain! I don't think anyone else ever buys her any charms so I try to get her one each Christmas. Free in to store delivery and got triple Nectar points too. I'm a happy bunny

Evening everyone,
Had a really nice day, met an old friend for coffee, we gossiped for over two hours in the sun, didnt realise until tonight i got sunburnt on my lower arms, crikey i cant remember the last time i got sunburnt mainly because i just dont sit in sun, DD1s cake pop maker came in post today so that is another christmas pressie out of the way, all wrapped
OMO i agree i usually only have hayfever for two weeks but this has just been ongoing, i wasnt sure if it was the cheap tabs i bought in B&M not making a difference, campsite sounds perfect
PRINCESSKITTY thankyou re DS yep got about 3 weeks thankyou for the Accessorize link
FEISTY good luck with your craft stall this weekend sending vibes for lots of sales
RUTH_HONEY i keep getting emails too and have to delete them

Morning everyone, hope you all have sunshine and no hayfever. Glad you are getting camping, OMO, I only ever went once, and didn't enjoy it, but we are all different, my fave cousin loves camping and they go 3-4 times a year.
I am starting to pick up the pieces, but only little ones. There has to be an inquest which is scheduled for late November, so there will be no finality until then, just in time for Christmas, eh?. Currently I have the dog, an old border collie, who just doesn't know what is wrong, and am trying to empty the house.
Today, tho, as it is going to be sunny, I am treating me to a day in the garden as a reward. Gonna give those weeds a hard time! Thanks for being here, xxx

The camper van was wetter than I thought, but I only lost one table due to mould.
I have emptied out all that I need. The chairs have been brushed down and are now airing in the garden. The tables have been cleaned down are are back in there bags. All the bags have been on a short wash in the machine and are all nice smelling again.
And the lounge looks like it can't help it. :rotfl:
There is just so much stuff. :eek:

Tomorrow I am going to put the tent up and my dad is bringing over his trailer so I can store all the gear in there, in the back garden. I don't have a tow bar, but I think I may need to get one.

The Co-op are doing a deal on Kappa bags. You need to collect 20 stamps then you can get a bag at a reduced price. The hanging wash bags are £2.99 and I already have 25 stamps.( I get the shopping for work ). So I will get 3 of those and we can all have our own bag. We do have wash bags but I want some that are only for the tent.

I just need to get the tent carpet from Go Outdoors, some more cutlery and I think I am done. Last famous words. :rotfl:
