Your OH deserves a medal, managing to visit Go Outdoors and only buy things that are relevant and to only spend slightly more than the voucher 🏅

You might not need the pink stuff - most van's cassettes flush from the fresh water tank!  It's mainly English built ones that you use pink with or caravans.  Keep the receipt so you can get a refund if not needed.

I wouldn't buy too much stuff before you get the van otherwise you'll end up with stuff you don't actually need! You can just use stuff from home (or whatever you used when you had the boat).

Hope the viewing goes well tomorrow.

The flush has it's own little tank it isn't from the fresh water tank, we know that much.

We have a lot of the stuff from the boat, all the kitchen stuff and bits and bobs like that. It is more stuff like levelling ramps and wheel clamps etc. that we didn't need with the boat that we don't have.

He did really well. Unfortunately he has to go back at some point and get the table swapped because the one he has picked up is faulty!

Hopefully he will resist temptation again

Can see a bit of a risk to having OH off work for a few weeks at the same time as the shops are open

Working on it. He has had an easy week so far this week. Next week will be different. He is going to be put to work next week.

Today's spends will go one of two ways. It will either be a low spends day or a very spendy day 🤣🤣🤣

Breakfast and dinner will be from stores. Toast for breakfast and a pizza with a few beers on the sofa tonight for dinner.  

The other half is going to get us lunch so I'm guessing it will be KFC.

Today's jobs include:
Working from home this morning 
Vacuuming the house
Dusting the house

It is the day of reckoning for the van. We are due at the dealers this afternoon at about 2pm to have a good look around it and decide if it is the one for us. If it is we need to leave a bigger deposit.

It has a tough act to follow this van so we have to make sure it is right before committing to it.

Just realised we have had the dog three years today. 😀

Fingers crossed the van is what you're looking for, if not I'm sure another one will come along in due course. I can't believe we've had our dog for 9 years in June, I still think of her as a puppy 😆

Hope the van is all you are looking for. Good luck.

Paid a bigger deposit on the van this afternoon.

It is a lovely van in really very good condition. 

We pick it up on the 26th April just in time for my week off work. 😄



They have a couple of minor bits to do to it next week before we pick it up. But nothing major.
