I looked at all the stuff piled in the lounge and dining room today and thought oh dear,Mathis is never going to fit! With some jiggery pokey, some squeezing and squishing, we managed to get it all in. Once the roof bag is on tomorrow, I will take pics (will also serve as a reminder as to where everything goes for our next trip). Early night tonight if I can contain my excitement, and then off tomorrow to Solway view. I am soooooo excited.

Yip.... Been there and know exactly how it is to squeeze every last thing into the car and roof box. Have even considered leaving the kids at home to create more space!    

Have a great trip and hope the sun keeps its hat on for you

I was just thinking the opposite....we need a bigger car!!! Boot is packed but we are left with a rouge chair that just doesn't seem to fit anywhere, that will be DH's chair then lol!

Off to Lauder to see family tomorrow until Monday then will land at Solway View from Monday until Sunday, so excited!!!

Here's hoping the weather is good for us :)

I'm HOPING my car is going to be a Tardis !
We have just sold the Zafira gsi (I cried when it went!) To be honest we couldn't always even fit everything in that and had a trailer and a roofbox (Yes,I'm the one who even took the microwave!)This is going to be a challenge getting all the stuff into a skoda fabia.It hasn't even got a towbar on it ! I am going to have to make a list(a very short one I think !)
