Honestly, you tackle tarts, have you no control? you really need to get a grip of yourselves

Having said that my new camp kitchen came on Thursday, we spent today in Camperlands and Go Outdoors and tomorrow we are checking out Wilkinsons to see what they have before nipping over to Bury to get two Gelert 400 DL XL sleeping bags, well at £19.99 it would be silly not to

BUT WE HAVE IT UNDER CONTROL DAMMIT

I was in Camperlands and Go Outdoors yesterday!! Any idea how long the sale at Camperlands is on for, Caster?

No idea FS but there's always a sale/bargain to be had somewhere, all you need is dedication, not that i pay much attention

My arguement is that once you have the stuff it is going to last you for lots of trips out.

Yes there will be times when stuff needs replacing - but that's no different than at home.

I was unable to get away in the tent last year (few trip in the camper), and this year will have to replace things like cutlery (Poundland's best) plates/dishes etc.(Poundland or my local bargain shop).   However, they will last a couple of years - not bad for about £20 tops investment.

Thats my philosophy to buy the best equipment we can afford - the best not always being the most expensive of course & then it will last us many years.  I have spent the best part of the Winter tackling up & just when we've got pretty much everything struck off the very long list we visit the NEC and whilst Im oohing & ahhing over the Vango & Outwell stand I find the OH chatting animatedly to a salesman on the Lunar stand & we spent the next hour in and out of the Lunar, Swift & Bailey stands although having never set foot in a caravan before I was impressed. 

We have a clash of desires at the moment - but I have definitely secured another 12mths of tenting I dont feel ready to make that shift yet.

My OH says when it comes to anything on camping he just feels it is better for him to shut up as where that subject and the expence is concerned he would never dare say anything against it (wise man)
