Hello lovely forumites - I was just wondering after how many years of caravanning do you stop purchasing things for the van??? I made the fatal mistake of suggesting a trip out to our local caravan dealer in Gloucester on Sunday - the skies were blue, the sun was shining and it WASN'T RAINING! We came home with a small lightweight plastic table (to go with the 2 aluminium folding tables we have already), a bright pink Muggi (I need to be able to carry mugs of tea and coffee without them sliding around on the tray previously purchased for said purpose, and it was in the sale) and a rather lovely waterproof backed fleecy carpet for our 4th awning purchased in 2 years of caravanning - yes OH is well on the way to having an awning for every day of the week at the moment! The carpet was £80 down to £21.97 in Go Outdoors so we bought my parents one too. We also managed to buy 2 tiny non stick frying pans just perfect for frying eggs using the Cadac (bye bye stainless steel rings bought for said purpose last year) and a 5 litre water container with it's own tap so that I don't flood the surfaces in the van trying to fill up the kettle with a 2 litre squash bottle anymore. Happy days ... OH rather hopefully suggested we go through the contents of the van one weekend very soon as, "there is stuff in the cupboards that we just don't use anymore" ... hee hee little does he know that I've now started on my beloved list writing of "stuff to put in the cupboards to fill them up after OH has emptied them" as the much awaited countdown begins to our first outing in March!!!! Happy, happy days.
Oh ... and he's very lucky we can't afford a new caravan as I was rather taken with the new Swift Challenger island bed on a single axle .... oh well, back to the Lottery Ticket
