( Temptation and a Lack of Will Power = a Shiny New Tent  )

But SSShhhh ! Mr Dozy doesn't know yet.

I got the email from yeomans on Friday saying that theVango Icarus 500 was on special offer for £99 at the moment.

My son went on a sleepover at his friends house last night. (another forum members sons).

I had to pick him up today and they live LESS THAN 5 MINUTES from our local Go Outdoors.

The rest is obvious - a price matched Icarus 500 and carpet from Go outdoors for £126.00.

When the big man finds out I shall blame my flu and fever associated (foggy head) etc that made me confused so that I wasn't aware of my actions.

Indeed if he had done the pick up I would not of been so close that I could sniff (through my blocked nose) the bargain to be had.

What is a girl to do?

She is sat nestled in my car boot at the moment - she will be brought in and put up when I am off work Tuesday - and evryone else is out.

SSSSHHHHHHHHH!

Ha ha it's just like that song..."just don't know what to do with myself..." Except buy a shiney new tent?!   Justify it by saying "I could've bought new shoes, make-up or clothes"...or do what I do and tell hubby "oh this old thing? I bought it ages ago!" He never ever cottons on!

Well done on your fab purchase BTW

Just hide it over the winter and then pull it out next year with the well used comment "What this old thing? We've had it years, dear"!

I put a bid on a cabanon on ebay or £25 if I had won it I was going to tell hubby I got it off freecycle. Gutted as I was outbid after I'd gone to bed and auction ended on £26

I don't know how people get away with this - but then my OH is a home dad so around when there's a delivery. I go to work by train too - so couldn't lug a tent back... that'd be a sight!

I've managed to justify 3 tents and all three get used for their intended purpose and they're great! To be honest, couldn't beat them with what's out there this year, but there are a few temptations out there - may be the Quecha 2" XXL IIII  for £99.99, but there's quite a gap around the bottom of the living area, no windows and no second exit unlike our small dome ... may be its a good thing that such purchases have to be a joint decision in our house!
