Welcome to todays diary entry! Day 2/21 of the big slog completed and i have had a really busy day today and an extremely productive day. No so much admin but have done a few awnings which is always nice. A pleasant start to the week. My time in the shop is going to be more limited as time goes on this week as we are heading to Nottingham this weekend so we are heading up there Thursday night so that mean i want to have the van packed on Wednesday day to cater for any issues with stuff missing or not being where it needs to be or supposed to be.
We are not taking a lot of stock with us only stuff that Outdoor Revolution are short on so there is not a Luton Van or anything this time but the Berlingo. SO hopefully only half a day to pack the van. I want to try and get my hair cut before we go so i am looking fresh and razor sharp. The show at the weekend consists of the entire Outdoor Revolution range so that includes tents and everything. So i also need to factor in a crash course in Outdoor Revolution tents and other camping stuff as we get so embroiled in drive away awnings and caravan awnings that we forget about tents and although i do sell some online i am lucky in the sense that people tend to know what they want before they come to me for tent stuff. (Thank God)

Well all this is on the assumption that there is not anything wrong with the motorhome which is due in the garage tomorrow and its MOT is due in June. Although i am trying to not focus on it too much and let my blind optimism get me through the next few days without any skirmishes with car garages. It should just be a radiator change over so hopefully the bolts are not too rust and it is an in and out job and it will be ready almost straight away and we can start getting out own stuff packed for the week.
We have already had our Asda shopping done for the weekend. We are on curry duty on the Friday night after we have finished packing up but not sure how many people there will be for it but there should be 7 or 8 I imagine so a few but not loads and not more than we have already catered for in the past. The Dodge is on Lasagne duty on the Saturday and although pack down is on the Monday i think we will come away on the Sunday night. I think Outdoor Revolution are packing down on the Monday so may not need us. I also hate pack down ha ha ha so if i can sneak away i will be doing so.
