Good morning Campers 
Feeling rather chuffed after a snuggly night in Derby!
I thought I'd try my recent bargain. Mountain Warehouse Windermere 5 tent. Advertised as summer only but nothing a little insulation won't sort I thought. We had a vango in the car if we had a disaster night.
I bought some emergency foil blankets and taped those to the floor of the tent. Then used two insulated picnic blankets to cover those. Taped to secure. Finally, one xl knitted blanket taped to the bed end of the room.
I clipped two foil sheets over the top of the inner tent. I read this helps bounce heat back down to you.
We had an air bed with a duvet over the top. Then sleeping bag, summer duvet and knitted blanket. (Pooch somewhere in there too, our very own mobile hot water bottle.)
I went against all Co sleeping guidelines and tucked the baby up next to me, in his normal pj's and a baby sleeping bag. He was like a bug in a rug and slept- well, like a baby!
We didn't have much wind through the night, so wasn't too much like sleeping in a crisp wrapper. It's a bit breezy this morning, so we have a little rustle, but nothing too bad at all.
Admittedly, we did run the heater through the night. It's nothing fancy, just a small blow heater with two settings.
Safe to say, although it wasn't as warm as home, it was definitely not cold! Whether it was down to the foil sheeting, or the heater alone, I don't know. I'm just feeling rather smug to not have icy limbs!

We like bonkers...
