T-Bird Anni Rides Again

Right, tent, groundsheet, inner bits, spare guys (the bright yellow ones bought to make us feel a bit more secure last MP summer camp) pegs and poles are all in the car.  Good start!  

Camping kitchen, cooker, mess kit, food and utensils are packed.  Got my priorities right you know. 

Duke got sent into the garage to do a search and rescue mission for the portapotti, it was indeed under the mess mountain.  Things are looking up.

Aprilia’s bag is packed, including all those knickers we found all over her floor.  Her shoes, boots and wellies all have names in them and her bedding is all tucked up in a bag.  And all of that lot is in the car already. On a roll now!

My bag needs a final check to be sure I have sufficient of everything and my bedding roll needs fastening up then it can also go into the car.  This may be a record.

I even know where the sat nav is - it’s ON CHARGE!  So it will actually be capable of picking up a signal as soon as we set off rather than needing to wait until there’s sufficient power for it to get going.   

Left to do now….. Bake flapjacks, and possibly snickerdoodles, check paperwork is ready, lay out Kung Fu clothes, baby wipes and uniforms for us both so we can do KF, have a quick wipe down, change into uniform and set out.  I’ve forgotten something haven’t I?  Surely?  I’m gonna get to camp and there will be a wailing twitter from me when I realise I’ve forgotten something really, really important!  I hvae a reputation to keep up after all……

See y’all in a week! 

Am tracking down camping equipment but the bread crumb trail to one particular item seems to have been lost…… I know it has to be in the garage, unless of course, it’s been left outside the garage at some point and stolen, but

it’s not in the section supposed to hold camping equipment (which is currently full of computer type junk that Duke is going to do something with at some point aparently) ,

nor is it where I found the tent (under a lawn mower and a bench saw which have combined to deposit all kinds of **** all over the bags)

or even where Duke found the box of camping kitchen stuff which is supposed to be kept somewhere clean (but a quick trip through teh dishwasher has cured that small problem - the kitchen stuff, not Duke…… not sure he would fit in the dishwasher…..)

which only leaves the scary, head high pile of ***** at the front of the garage for it to be buried under.  Alternately I can go and spend £70 on a new one, which if the weight of ***** on top of it has cracked the lid is still a posibility, cos no way no how am I spending a week under canvass with loos taht are locked at 11pm and no portapotti!!!!
