'this anal list of mine, one of us always forgets something!'

lol

The importance of the forgotten item always increases dramatically when it is forgotten.

We - ok well I forgot my camera one year - we went back for that (Well I was driving! and couldnt do without that. We arrived with at the ferry with seconds to spare!)

Teabags and sugar was the next years item. ( I dont drink the stuff so wasnt bothered)

This year was the tv remote control! OMG!!!! (again I werent bothered!!)

Forgot to renew the kids passports this year.

The face my Missus pulled, parked in Portsmouth the night before the ferry, just checking the passports ; priceless.

Brittany Ferries were ace and the Spanish weren't going to turn away anyone with a full wallet this year, so everything went ahead in the end. A little tense though.

The final flourish was the UK jobsworth at Portsmouth on the way home, trying to lecture us.

Hubby was to pack up then collect me from work as ususal then we would set off for the weekend. Got there and I unpacked and he had forgotten! ?  ? to put in my pyjamas!  Did him no good though cos Matalan wasn't far away and I got to buy some more.

 we are have only done 3 trips in the van so far but hubby being helpfull put all the cloths in the wardrobe for me at home. what a kind man then we drove all the way to scotland to fined he had left the key for the wardrobe at home in the kitchen and all ourcloths were locked away. that poor old van had manedged to keep its cupboard key for25+ years till hubby got it lol

This last trip to Ashbourne I seemed to forget everything - Im normally a list maniac but I think I relied too much on stuff being left in the caravan. 

I forgot the kids pillows as up until then we had just taken the ones from their beds - so the first night I gave ours to the children & we slept on the caravan cushions in pillow slips & had to make a trip to dunelm mill the next day - but at least they now have 'caravan' pillows.

I promised OH an M&S Tex Mex meal on the Friday night as he went to work as norm that day from the caravan - & actually forgot to go to M&S at all.

I forgot my socks, any jumpers or sweatshirts for myself - there was a Next closeby must remember to forget stuff like that again!!

OHs red wine - I replaced that before he noticed that could've got me into trouble on a Bank Holiday!!

And lots of other little bits and pieces which I had left in the caravan and OH had helpfully removed!!!
