The cabernet sauvignon ran out on the penultimate evening, so the last night saw me sucking the dregs from the chardonnay box. (Not a great look).<BR/><BR/>omega mum - ha! what a great line! I may get that printed on the cover of the trailer tent!<BR/><BR/>heidi - it was fun (if rather windy at first!). That Leasingham riesling is excellent!<BR/><BR/>lady macleod - I hope you have finally gained access to your cash, so that you can at least slake your thirst with a decent bottle of wine!<BR/><BR/>mya - camping and being pissed do seem to go hand in hand with me too! You are right about the zips - I always try to do them too fast, and end up wrestling to un-trap them.<BR/><BR/>dulwich mum - somehow, I don't think you are quite cut out for camping. Although you would have liked the wine boxes (sadly no Chablis though).<BR/><BR/>M&M - I did enjoy it when the wind wasn't howling, or the rain lashing down as it did on the first couple of nights. The rest of the week was great weather, though - perfect for sitting outside the tent with the wine boxes, grinning like an imbecile.<BR/><BR/>rebecca - I think the schools provide alcohol at these events to anaesthetise the parents from the effects of each other.<BR/><BR/>Hello potty mummy! Sounds like a lucky escape to me!<BR/><BR/>dj kirkby - you are absolutely right, and a holiday involving two wine boxes can't be all that bad.<BR/><BR/>natural blonde - I have to confess I was drunk when I agreed to it. We were camping in our old tent, while my brother and his family enjoyed the five star luxury of the trailer tent. They weren't that impressed by camping (they obviously didn't drink enough) and have sworn their allegiance to caravanning from now on.<BR/><BR/>expat mum - the bears would be welcome to our food (couple of tins of beans, boil-in-the-bag rice) but I would fight to the death any grizzly that put his paws on the wine boxes.<BR/>btw - love the term 'queenager'!<BR/><BR/>ingenious rose - you are right (although I doubt there are many women who would class a week spent at their mother-in-law's as a holiday). Now I really have to get my slacker's arse in gear.<BR/><BR/>sparx - I wouldn't recommend running in a push-up bra - it looked like two puppies fighting under a blanket.Drunk Mummyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12416146729096629298noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4121356179610263775.post-67605837959076303812007-09-02T22:52:00.000+01:002007-09-02T22:52:00.000+01:00Ah, it's good to know that the competition continu...Ah, it's good to know that the competition continues throughout childhood... well done for daring to run in a push-up, I hope the wine cellar got a raiding after that one.

Can't think where she got that idea from - I'm not camping under any circumstances!
