well done the pair of you..
dont forget to give us all a full report of where/what van/ your first weekend ( that's if you want to share with the class that part) etc

look forward to hearing from you xx

[treetopper]

Great news......both of you.
Keep yourselves busy getting all the bits and pieces.
Hopefully the time will pass QUICKLY for you....

[MuppetChops]

ooooooooooooooo what have you bought then and where?

[yogabreathes]

Have already been out with the shopping list, but I guess the list is a moving feast. I found the hints and tips threads on this site amazingly useful. Its a 2007 Atlas Nevada, 3 bedroom sited at Flamborough. I haven't seen my husband looking so energised and contented for a long time. he is researching in a purely disinterested way you understand the purchase of the Telly. The Coffee maker is my necessity in life, and that was bought this morning.

Congratulations to you both...hope you will spend happy happy times at your caravans.

It is such an exciting time, we couldnt stop talking about it, packing and buying things..... brilliant.

Hi both! What great news! Like we've all often said, the excitement never really goes away, it simply 'morphs' into something else ie shopping for it lol
Have fun both of you, the waiting will soon pass, in the meantime you can get your 'fix' on here with us! ;)

Well done Yoga,
Lovely van, we looked at the 2 bedroom but not big enough for 5 of us but the amount of light through the windows is amazing. I'm sure you'll be very happy.

[billozz]

[yogabreathes]

Thank you, I am getting increasingly excited. The back bedroom is now full of lists and boxes, now there's a thought. I'll colour code them for unloading purposes....I do soooo love a list. LOL

SUCH FUN XX

[yogabreathes]

I've bought everything on the first list which I called essentials- then there was the desirables list-I had the tv on that list, because i thought maybe we could do without on the first trip-but no, its been put on the essentials list by OH, and bought, and of course it takes up more room than anything else.

Give me strength (actually I'm a yoga teacher so i am quite strong)

you know what....
we didnt have a telly for ages at the van... we just enjoyed the peace and quiet, hubby read some books/ papers/ and i.........
made lists off what we would need...:D

[yogabreathes]

Just what I thought-escape from the world for a bit. I very rarely watch TV at home, but I never, ever have a day when I don't read. I love just sitting quietly for 1/2 an hour. -Some people call that meditation-and they are not far wrong. Then of course there is always another list to plan. Do you have a check list of what to do before you leave the van, and if you do -I would love to see it.
