Title: Why is it?
Post by: Darth Loo-knee on 13 June 2008, 19:31:57
We went Camping a few weeks back as some of you know, the car was full with stuff couldn't even see the kids for stuff over them  ;D so I dropped on a 470litre roofbox which i have just put on the car as we are of tomorrow to Devon. The boot is full to the brim, and so is this box and still got to put things in with the kids!!!!

Why is it women when they know they have more space, have to buy more stuff?? ;D ;D ;D

I was just refering to the fact that, if the room available doubles, so does their paraphanalia (sp)
Could fill the flight deck of the Ark Royal no doubt ;D

No Loo-knee youv'e got it wrong!   We buy stuff regardless of space available because we do need it, and it is up to our blokes to find the space to fit it all in!!

I was just trying to imagine the movie.

Tripod set up at the back of the car.

Pic 1 starts with the boot shut
pic 2  boot open

and then a pic for every item as they get added.  A measuring stick by the side of the car showing it getting lower.


Then put them in a video edit program and change it to black and white.

Even funnier if you and Mrs Loo-Knee dressed up as Laural and Hardy     ;D ;D ;D ;D

Packing - well we take a lot since children get so messy and I have a T shirt a day just in case, as they get smelly.

Then we also take LCD TV, Freeview PVR, DVD player

Eldest has mobility problems so buggy required, can also get very traumatised with wetness / dirt with his autism, bit of a nightmare.
He may surprise us again and be running around in his pyjamas and wellies at 11pm again, clutching an empty bottle of beer  ;D

Travelling light isnt really feasable for us at the mo, but it will all fit in one car (hopefully)

No worries, all very much tounge in cheek exageration anyway really.  But we cannot travel light, and the idea of leaving the country is just not a reality at the moment  :(
