me !!! we used to camp when our older children weree little but gave up when baby came along - baby is now 5 so its time to start camping again - don;t know why it took so long . we have a week booked in august and i just can;t wait !

I'm itching to go sooner but i am expecting to give birth to a surrogate baby sometime in the  next week and need time to recover before i start putting up tents not to mention the fact that all we actually have is the tent and have a whole lot of shopping to do beofre we go ;)

No you're not alone !!....we're not going until the 7th of August and I find I'm wishing my life away...its terrible...I can't wait.  Got lots of slog before then though, working.

I just hope that the weather is ok in August...I don't actually think we've had a good straight run of summer camping weather in the four years we've been camping.  I just hope that at last, this year, we'll get the long hot barmy summer days under canvas I've always dreamed of !!

Yes, I usually find that when you get slightly cross-eyed and have a little weeeeeeee, this is a good indicator. (IMHO).

i go through stages in the lead up.

excitement,

panic,

controlled excitement.

panic is usually cos i'm scared that i'll no longer like it?!?! but usually abated once i start the list of what we're taking! i'm off on thursday for 3 nights and have overcome the panic stage :D now just need to start cooking ;)

could you not fit in a sneaky weekend away in the run up? 6 weeks sounds like a long time!

So glad I'm not the only one!! 

Apart from spending hours scouring this fantastic forum, I spend ages trying to justify reasons for making new purchases!

And in terms of a wonderful list....I have one in excel on my work laptop....just so I can think of things to add to it - and cheer myself up during lunch by looking at it!  Maybe I do need help after all!
