Just back from 2 wks self-catering in UK (did ya miss me? didya didya?) and would like to share these thoughts:
Get a Tesco (or similar - but Tesco do deliver pretty much everywhere) order delivered for the afternoon you arrive including fresh stuff and basic groceries too
Sort out the clothes to take and then halve the number - DD had 4 dresses when one would have done
Cottage MUST have washing machine (see above)
Colouring sheets from internet will amuse small children (well, mine) for hours on a rainy morning and don't take up much space. Top Trumps ditto.
Take any kitchen essentials you simply MUST have - blender, favourite knife, giant lasagne dish - or am I the only person who actually cooks on holiday?
Worth buying local paper for details of any interesting events (shows, carnivals etc).
Do a last wash the day before you leave - massively reduces washload on arrival home (still loads of irnong tho
Don't iron while on holiday (no, even I don't!)
Anyone any more?
