this forum is so bad for me - firstly I am supposed to be studying and secondly I want some solar lights for our tent now

found these
only £10 (is sale) and multi coloured but 3.5m sounds a bit short

plenty listed on ebay but I prefer to see stuff, think there is another trip to Wilkinsons planned this week now

I like the white or blue best, think white would look best with my tent. I want some right now!

mantrachant.. shame on you lol

If only we had a dollar everytime someone said no more tents :)

Check out the eldorado pitching in pictures here

Personally we always do the front poles first but whatever works for you is fine.

Welcome to the pyramid club :)

Thanks Angie lol
I've managed to sell 3 but then bought another 2 canvas tents.
This will absolutely have to be my last tent Ha ha x

What happened to the innocent woman who came joined this forum not so very long ago with ONE tent and a few questions?

Lol

Sounds like you and I are very alike... we get rid of some tents to free up space and voila... others appear in their places

DH said he is going to put an alarm on my laptop that goes off everytime I look at Marktplaats or a camping store.

I told him that my reaction to that alarm will be me grabbing sons vuvuzela, putting it right next to his ear and making as much noice as humanely possible so now he lets me get on with it... wise choice or the air horn would have been next lol

But hey, sounds like you have more tents than me ! I got rid of 2 this morning.. what a good girl I am :)

sainsburys had some nice solar fairy lights in when I popped in today. Priced from £7.49 to £9.99 (thats half the original price). They had some lovely coloured dragonflies and butterfly ones but OH would kill me if I spent any more. I've just took delivery of a battered in need on serious tlc Hago orange kitchen stand I need to do up.

B&M have got loads of different solar lights in at the moment for really good prices - I bought us another set that have little round lantern shades on them for £7.99 the other day, they look lovely in the garden and I think they'd look even lovelier on my tent! They also had ladybirds, dragonflies, flowers and loads of other types.

I'd never heard of them before either until I read about'em on here! B&M It's like a big poundstretcher kind of place and they have a camping section too.

There's a big one at Meadowhall retail park (not the shopping centre) and it's fantastic! I bet you come out with a lot more than just fairy lights if you go

Laughing myself to death here Angie!
I reckon that if Vuvuzuelas appear at our local team's ground, then there will be a few involuntary colonoscopies!!

Why don't our DH's realise that they are fighting a losing battle Lol?
Those pics of erecting the Eldorado were excellent x

Tena lady for mantrachant please ! lol

DH has a tiny comment to make over tentage occasionally but has pretty much given up lol.

Those vuvuzelas are horrible things but someone gave DS one so it is rapidly becoming my "get off my case and let me get on with it' tool lol

Talking of vuvus... almost time for kick off :)
