What’s the problem if Ruddi wants to do a bit of vacuuming and ironing in her tent? It’s not spoiling your holiday is it? (unless she’s in the tent next to you )

Actually, what do you reckon are the chances of sneaking some of my ironing in with hers if we ever find ourselves on adjacent pitches?

My ironing heap has been in my bedroom so long it's on the latest  Sussex Downs ordnance survey map, complete with contour lines. There's talk of giving it ancient monument status, ever since I found a pair of size 10 loon pants dating back to 1969 at the bottom.

Loon pants - trousers fashionable in the late 60s/early 70s, quite tight to the knee and then a 26" flare.

Looked great with my platform-soled boots and my Afghan coat.

I have opted for the quieter option (Ewbank) We are considerate campers and definatley wouldn't make a noise early in a morning or late at night!!

I've shown my hubby the replies to my post and he just laughed and said ”do what you want, you always do anyway, just make sure I'm away from the tent when you do the hoovering”, he thinks I'm an embarassment (ha ha!). I will be purchasing my camping vacuum tomorrow!! Our tent equipment just keeps getting bigger and bigger, inflatable sofas, vacuum cleaner, toaster, microwave, fridge, iron and board and that's only a snippett of our gear!! Good job we have a large car, roof box and trailer!!!

OMG !!  why don't you just stay in a hotel / B&B / holiday rental?!!

We got a small vacume from poundstretchers its realy compact and only 700w. Got it so we can hover the carpet when packing up and to suck the air out of the vac bags also from poundstretchers 2 large bags and 3 small for only £9.99 and hover was only £19.99

Only problem now is i have to get a trailer to put all the camping gear in 

But on the bright side when i get the trailer i can get a fridge to keep the lager cold
