Went to Lidl to see if they had any stuff of interest left & bought some ballerina slippers for using in the tent, travel hair straighteners & a pink fold up holdall - had a look at the quishion type things but didn't like the look of them,will wait till I find some more proper ones...then found some hand towel size microfibre towels in the 99p shop..a good day's bargain hunting! Anyone else been out today??

Yep,I have been out bargain hunting too,got some glo sticks for the kids,and 3 small LED torches,also a vinyl tablecloth for the table...all at the range.
    We also are trying to find some camping chairs(not the umbrella type) but as we need 4,it is looking expensive....might have to search the web for those as we are looking at a budget of no more than £100 for 4!!!

Are the microfibre towels a must when camping, as we have never been before and i was thinking how am I going to try and dry all our towels (there is 4 of us)?

we also been shopping today, did a price match on a Campingaz Camping Chef Stove and Grill with go and picked it up for £35.

wish I had  a go outdoors nearby...but on the other hand I'm glad I don't or I'd be permanently skint! I thought I'd try the microfibre towel as it was only 99p...must admit feels horrible & catches any rough skin on your hands but does soak up a lot...don't know if the more expensive ones are any better. Think I'll get a couple more though as they come in their own little zip up bag & weigh next to nothing..shouldn't complain for 99p

Micro-fibre towels are brilliant - so long as you make sure they are micro-fibre and not micro-towelling!. They dry in minutes and are way smaller than normal towels, be sure to pat dry rather than rub and you will be fine. Take a little getting used to a first, but what space savers. Micro-towelling may feel softer to start with, but are not good if you have a tiny bit of dry skin.

you can dry towels in good weather on camping clotheslines - it can be hooked up to trees or on the poles in the tent - mine was from Poundland and is brilliant - even came with a few pegs

I got two hanging shelf units from Asda to put on a hanging rail for £3 each. One for clothes and another for shoes! Bargain! Just debating on whether to hang them from the pole in the tent or just lay them on the floor
