just came back from lidl and ive got three camping mats

were they the faom type ones or inflating padded ones?

i need something for my kids

I bought one of the inflatable airbeds from Lidl and tried it out last week (its the one that comes apart, makes either two singles or a double) one problem we had was that we couldnt use it as a double as the fit in the sleeping area was pretty tight, I was worried it may have ripped the zip or something The other problem was that when we split it in to two singles my daughter then slept on it, and in the morning the airbed was found to be quite wet and the cold was striking up through to her sleeping bag. She had an insulated mat underneath as well.Our double air bed however was fine, the good old red and blue ones from Argos, no problems, comfy and dry!  stick to argos and not for the flock covered from Lidl

The small multi tool things are good too. £1.99 and it does most things a swiss army knife would and also comes with various screwdriver heads/hex heads too. Should be useful alongside the duck tape in the camping box

got one of those last year and have found  it useful many times always keep it in the car
