Same kind of investment here, but different brand and price and site to buy from - headphones from 3M, $40, bought off Amazon.

Also need to buy a new air mattress this weekend.

I bought some AAA batteries from the Pound Shop for my radio today.

I don't think I need anything else new, but that's not to say I won't be tempted....

I was in Costco last night and they had a fancy 2-inch thick camping sleeping pad that looked way more comfortable than the thin one I currently use, but at £40 I felt that's a bit steep for one week's use per year.

Air-con in the car has had a regas because it's going to be a scorcher, and new batteries for radio ear defenders, but that's all for me this year.

New much smaller air mattress. Not an investment for LM itself, but much easier to bring a long. I think that will be the only thing new for me this year.

I'm sure you can pick up some local station whilst at Spa and groove along to the hits of Plastic Bertrand and all the other famous Belgian pop stars (whose names escape me at this moment*).

* How could I forget, good old Fud Leclerc, the excellent Eddy Wally or the Flanders Maestro himself Bobbejaan Schoepen

You are out of time, Plastic Bertrand was a pure commercial product. Nowadays you should listen to Stromae.

I have taken the plunge and bought an inflatable tent. Takes about 5 minutes to pitch, excluding guy ropes.

I'm doing a week in Scotland in July which is going to involved pitching it every day so this reduced pitstop time should be useful.

I assume these inflatable tents also fold down to a small package for transport? Or does the size of the pump exceed the size of the poles on a similar sized tent?

Folds to roughly the same size as a normal tent. The poles of a normal tent don't take up much space, after all.

New Campsite ? It just wasn't the same last year with the changes.

We haven't arranged anything yet, I think we still will go though.
