just got 16 batteries for free from tesco

they are doing buy one get one free on batteries, only when bought from tesco direct (not in store) , but you can get them sent to store (including Local stores) and collect them for free, and batteries are in the clubcard exchange, so you can double any clubcard points,I only had £4.50 of vouchers so couldn't double, but 8 batteries were £4.50, so i ordered two packs, used the vouchers, leaving a grand total of £0.00 to pay! and i can walk round and pick them up from the little tesco down the road tomorrow after work!

saved a little, but always nice to get stuff for free!!

Coleman electric rechargeable (mains AND car cigarette) pump, £14.99

These are incredible - had my double airbed pumped in about 20-30 seconds. They have loads of puff and can be recharged at home before bringing to the fest.

Oh, nice.

I'd like one with either two rooms or one very large room; any recommendations?

Don't mind paying up to £150 for something decent.

Previously going from the Argos Pro Action 6 man tent (which looks good in theory), but the roofs of the two rooms sag to the ground which makes them smaller.

[Spindles]

I'd always go with Millets tents, personally, just on the basis of the good service they have always provided. I'm hoping to pick up one of those dome tents with mylar outer shell.

[coma girl]

I need a new light weight waterproof jacket, hoping Go Outdoors will have something decent in their sale.

My best buy recently has been some battery powered fairylights for £2 a pack in Asda, will use them for the outside of our tent. One of my Christmas pressies was a collapsable wine glass which will be perfect for G.

No, worse still I used the same joke last year. It's a Mark Steel line. I feel so tawdry

[Likelylad1]

That excellent line has side tracked the thread Has anyone seen any good tent deals? Looking for a decent 6 man one.
