Thanks guys

I know you are right really, he's just a pain in the bum! And it really didnt affect the great time we had whilst away! Except for the first afternoon/evening and a bit stressy on the morning of packing down when i sent my oh away to the park and but reins on my toddler and made my eldest walk him on laps on the toilet block and back haha! He will not sit through a dvd and i would happily have shut him in the car if it wasn't in full sun....

I def think we need a trailer and some ready to go boxes at the very least! Its the cramming everything into tiny areas that makes it take so bloody long to unpack - and i know we wouldnt get anywhere near as much space in a caravan without having an awning - and then we've got to put that up and down so not saving any time!

I dont have the time or money to do anything about it this season though, think i just needed a kick up the bum!!

Thanks for helping my through my wobble..... i'm a tent lover really!!

Another idea ....only because we have done this ourselves on a recent trip .....how about 2 journeys ...local site but once there & set up ...you could be anywhere.

We didn't do it for the space saving ...but we went while daughter was at school Fri lunch ..then hubby went back to pick her up from school....approx 35 mins each way.
Plus she had a dance show to rehearse for on the Saturday so he did the trips again !!! but still had a good weekend camp.

Just an idea
