Riggins Posted June 11, 2014 Report Share Posted June 11, 2014 I know it's an obvious one but just got back from Poundland who had some great deals. Got 2x antibacterial handwashes for £1, huge pack of plasters, three packs of ibruprofen for £1, a few bars of soap. They didn't have anything of use to me in the camping section but plenty there, mallet, spare begs, socks, pillow etc etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Other Steve Posted June 11, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 11, 2014 Bought a couple of these last year and it was up there with wet wipes as an absolute must have item in the day bag. When you are in the toilets you hook your bag and hang it high :-) Works in long drops, saw dust toilets and portaloos :-) http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/351032632714 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skoo Posted June 12, 2014 Report Share Posted June 12, 2014 Just got a pair of memory foam insoles at Poundland, along with a couple of camping stools and a pair of those floppy bottles that you can roll up. Good old poundland. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pentura Posted June 13, 2014 Report Share Posted June 13, 2014 A sleeping bag onesie? Hilarious! Don't see a zipper for a nighttime wee. I suspect if these were used you'd find a pile of them outside the long drops in the early hours of the morning! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As stated in the description it is for the kids to play in the back garden ONLY. Agreed! Although the actual tent is called 'Festival' and it also states in the description: "Perfect for the summer festivals". There's no way I'd be camping in it though.

There's no way I'd be camping in it though. That description is only to get even more suckers to fall for buying it... You're better off cutting up your £20 note into four equal sizes, folding each into a little paper jet and throwing all of them from the top of a building and seeing which goes furthest. You'd have more fun wasting your £20 note that way than thinking you will stay dry and warm in that toy tent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fixx Posted June 15, 2014 Report Share Posted June 15, 2014 Just looking through related items on this. I have never seen anything like this before in my life: http://www.argos.co.uk/static/Product/partNumber/1945494.htm Sleeping bag / astronaut's suit by the looks of it Not sure I should admit to this, but I have one, and it's coming to Glasto... Saw someone in one last year, and thought it was genius. It's very comfy, ridiculously warm, and great to sleep in if you like to move around in your sleep. I took it to Chamonix for several months over the winter and it was a godsend before the building heated up properly. Seriously, I love it. And no, I don't plan on going anywhere near toilets in it It'll be taken off in the tent first, and I'll head in my top and leggings like normal!
