Hey Tracey86, I'm fairly new to this site but a long time camper. My key points would be:
: Get a head torch, it makes things so much easier, whatever you look at is illuminated and both hands are still free. There are many on the market with different light settngs but a mid range one will be fine and probably be more economical than a dirt cheap one that will eat batteries.
: the light you are using is fine for low level illumination of a tent but the new LED lights are cheap and efficient, shedding lots of light. Just one example would be http://www.tkqlhce.com/click-1428744-10294381?url=http://www.argos.co.uk/static/Product/partNumber/7250626/Trail/searchtext%3ELED+LIGHT.htm
: If you use a groundsheet / footprint, sweet. If you dont, start. ( http://lmgtfy.com/?q=tent+footprint ) Make sure its smaller than your tent outline so that water doesnt run under your tent.
: Don't rely on an inflatable bed, if it bursts you will get little protection from the cold ground. Picnic rugs and blankets will help insulate you from the ground but i guess that if your using an airbed you're car camping, so just throw a couple of foam sleeping mats in as well. It's a good idea to put these under your airbed anyway to avoid stones bursting the bed. Also these foam mats still offer protection from the ground when they are wet.
: As for chairs, if your car camping you should be able to fit a decent chair in, google 'towsure' or 'go outdoors' or 'camping chairs'or 'fishing chairs'. You will find them in all shapes and sizes.
: The little luxuries are what makes a camp: tea, coffee, sugar, pepper, salt, cooking oil, string, knife / multi-tool, wet wipes, music (lots of mp3 speakers out there cheap), water (=water carriers), snacks (small and light like nuts, cereal bars etc
Happy camping
