poor little dog your confusing it, its a bitch how can u call it BOB ??


Think Blackadder - BoB!!!  If you don't know Blackadder (particularly the second series, although Bob cropped up as a driver in Goes Forth), Bob was a female character (actual name Kate) who dressed up as a boy to make some money.  Our Bob gets called Bobbie a lot though, so it does sound more female!!

Hi all my name is Simon and my better half is Lisa (both 36) we have been together 18 years married for 9 we have 3 monsters (sorry i mean kids) Daniel (11) Lauren (9) and little Jack who is 5 tomorrow plus misty the white german shepherd. We have only just bought a caravan (2 weeks ago) after always going in a tent (we did buy a trailer tent but didn't like it so i gave it to dan and his mates to camp out in the garden with lol) I still not sure about towing it though as I have never been into caravans (it was the oh who wanted it and I wasn't brave enough to say no to her lol) p.s my car is a citroen c5 and the caravan is a sprite musketeer 1990 and the tent is a montpellier 12 (I've not told the oh but I'm not getting rid of it just yet lol) I hope to get to meet some of you on my travels some day

Hi I am 44 and Mrs Tycerdd is 29. We have been together for 6 years this year and married for 3. We have had caravan holidays ever since we got together as OH's parents have caravanned for years. We bought our first tent in 2006, then in 2007 we bought a Raclet Quickstop FC which I loved. This season we traded the FC in and are now the proud owners of a Caravelair Ambiance 400 4 berth with fixed bed, and we absolutely love it. The door is on the offside but this is not a problem and anyone considering a continental caravan should explore them as this one is well built, easy to tow and the electrics e.t.c. are fully UK specification. We tow this van with a Citroen Xsara Picasso 2.0L HDI Diesel. Been to CC site at Moreton-in-Marsh last March and to Riverside Caravan Park, Crickhowell last Easter. Off there again in May and Pembrey in July.

 I'm Debs, married to Pete for nearly 18 years. We have 4 grown up children from previous marriages. 1 of them still lives at home with us.Together we have a daughter Katie who is 17 and just started driving lessons. We live on the West Sussex coast. We bought our first and only touring caravan in 2007 from new and tow with a new Honda CRV.  We love the life but the family only want to come with us if there is a club, bar and pool on site so we usually just go  with our Shih tzu Buffy,who loves being in the caravan.

Off to Longleat next week yippee!!!

I'm Andi (39), not married to Rob (31). I have 2 children, a boy who is 16 in two weeks and a girl who was 8 in January. Two Jack Russell puppies! Jack who is 6 months and Jess who is almost 5 months. We have a Dandy Destiny that we bought last September and we've spent the last few months making it our own, before that we had a Georgia XL and we still have a Quechua Base and III second pop up. We tow with a Suzuki SX4 but want a Skoda Octavia for the room!

Usually go to CS or a very basic site that I spent most of my childhood weekends and holidays at!
