No hot running water (apart from the shower!) but the most important thing is I can plug in the hair dryer and straighteners!

You can do that too Skippy on the camp sites we go to ! Hot running water and clean showers and toilets 24/7 .... Lovely fresh air, big enough tent for 8 people but only 6 of us - three bedrooms, lounge area and porch .....electric hook up so electric coolbox in use - cold beers !
Sharing from experiences of dealing with debt

There is a solution for everyone .... Just need to stay positive !

Look at my blog "All I wanted was a baby"

You'll never convince me Liz! [:D]

Communal toilets and showers will never appeal to me - I won't use the showers at the gym and I won't stay in a hotel unless it's ensuite! I don't do sharing!

Same here - we hated camping the one time we did in the South of France and going to the loo in the middle of the night involved a route march!!

I don't do the countryside either! A few years ago we were in Devon and went for a walk. Dave was marching on ahead and then turned round to see me walking very slowly across the field with my trouser legs rolled up, squealing every time I saw something unpleasant! Hence my nickname is Margo!

We both like the countryside, but just for walking in - love the coast for the same reason but I'm afraid accommodation has to have an en suite and breakfast thrown in!!

I love the coast and would love to live by the sea. The countryside looks nice if I'm driving through it with the windows shut!

We love the countryside - love the coast as well and would love to live in a rugged area so we could watch the sea from the house.

Never going to happen unless we win the lottery though!!

Living 1 minute from the sea sounds perfect. It is, unless its the North East coast with northeasterlies blowing in off the sea every day!!

If I could watch the waves crashing in every day then I wouldn't care!! We both find the sea fascinating.

...not thinking of buying a canoe!![:D]
If we all threw our problems in a pile and saw everyone else’s, we’d grab ours back.

Funds paid to date accepted as F&F 16th August 2013, the wait for completion begins.
Wait over....certificate recieved 3rd May 2014
