- Igloo 5 day coolbox from Costco - this replaces last year's small Lidl one which was ok, but could do with extra space for beer and wine - well that's how I convinced hubby that we needed one Plus I'm expecting that the Igloo one has better insulation and will be better at keeping things cold.

You will find that the IGLOO works very well indeed. Take the time to chil it down properly before hand and it will easily keep to its 5-day rating.

I'll need to buy a new windbreak, as the one I bought 2 weeks ago was killed in a galeforce wind on wednesday in Northumberland.   The steel poles were BENT. Oh well.

I could go on for ever!!

Bought new stylish regatta wellies!!!!

Bought new table form decathalon in Manchester - folding table and 4 stand alone folding stools that fold into the table for storage - had my eye on it and eventually got it this weekend - bit more practical than the normal blue plastic folding one - had for years.

Oh and new gas light cause hubbie broke the last one on last camping trip - I'm glad the shops are closed tomorrow.

Just need to book some more camping trips now - only one booked up to now.

I would just like to mention that we went to Go Outdoors in Manchester to enquire about the pole at the side of our Montana 6 that had snapped and to ask if we could reorder one - the man at Go Outdoors gave us a spare one of which we are really gratefull as we had a make shift one in since it had snapped.

Thank you man in Go Outdoors - really grateful for that.

The next thing on our list is the inflatable sofa!! Wilkinsons out of stock may need to seek alternative as this is the next thing on our wish list!!!
