I am procrastinating..... I've talked about this before. We have camped a bit, we have a nylon 6 berth but there is lots about it I don't like. I can do a night, or two, but the novelty is wearing thin.
I want a 5m belltent. I had a voucher from work for long service but none of the companies who I want to buy from are able to use the voucher provided. I could however use the voucher for new camping beds (argos is covered) and a tealight chandelier (notonthehighstreet is also covered) and any other extras which would really be on my indulgent wishlist.
However, DH has been made redundant. I am confident he will find work, we are only on week 3 of this happening, and we have 10k in the bank as a result. I am being overly cautious about spending a single penny, but the kids have been told that their summer holiday is cancelled because of DH's situation (we had planned a 2 week motorhome hire) and we are all feeling throughly shit about the situation with 6 long weeks in front of us with nothing fun to look forward to.
Would I be stupid to buy the tent? I want to give the kids some happy memories.... I want a pleasant summer. We have crappy neighbours which I need to escape from too, as often as we possibly can. We were due to move house but pulled out because of this situation.
What would you do?
