What have you bought?

[mandypants]

just had a text from my Brother who I lent my tent to saying there has been an 'unfortunate incident' and my tent wont be making its way back to me. so looks like I'm going tent hopping in the next few days. all i really need to buy is plenty of vodka, wet wipes, new socks and a torch. only other things i need is clothes and washing stuff which I have already.

Today I bought a sun hat that I don't feel too much of a numpty in (it's taken a while!!) and also managed to locate some of the festival strength Brothers Cider so looking forward to trying that for the first time later......

Switching my purchasing to weather related items now. Waterproofer for tent - can't reccommend this enough. Fabrisil is a good one, and can be sprayed on for quick coverage.
