And doing a food shop the day before. Any one got any easy ideas on food? Dont what to spend much time cooking!
Hopefully if the weathers nice was thinking of taking a disposable bbq....are u allowed to use them next to ur caravan?

Pasta and pasta sauces? They're quick to do if you get the stir in ones. I don't know about the bbq but there's not normally much room. Would it tell you on the website

I've used disposable at caravan park, not sure if its actually allowed but i've never got in trouble

We tend to buy the cheapy tins of chilli con carne, chunky chicken, chicken curry etc as you can just heat them up and do a bit of rice or pasta with them. simple.

Pasta's a fab idea! Think we will just be rebels and do a bbq anyway hehe

Pasta's always great if you want quick meals. You could also get some cold meat and potatoes and do jackets with salad if its going to be warm.

Where are you going?

Good thinking Were going to Clacton on sea lol, only fri-mon and will prob eat out too so shouldnt be to hard to do the food shop x

Clacton's nice. Hope you get good weather for it

We didn't want to spend much on food so took loads with us but after a day and a half I was so sick of washing up we looked into the pub food on site and it wan't expensive at all (the booze is extortionate though).

We did a pasta n sauce with garlic bread thing, and one of those mexican kits another night so you don't need many different bits to go with. Plus the usual sarnie and salad stuff for lunches and bits for Imogen to graze on.

Our primary consumption was bread (toast for brakkie) and cups of tea in the end!

good old Clacton! My Grandad lives there. Beach is quite nice. You going to Colchester zoo? I've never been but keep meaning too.

I love Colchester Zoo. We have a season card so take Jamie there quite a lot

Aw thats nice, i'd love to be able to do something regular like that with my two. I don't know why we've never been as it is just down the road

Yay we have vouchers through clubcard to go! Im so excited lol! We went to London Zoo a few months ago and we all loved it hehe.
Im quite gutted were only going fri-mon now as seems to be quite a lot to do!

Hope you have a lovely time, we went in may and it wasn't really bbq weather but we saw one or two people with disposable ones x

We went a few weeks ago to golden sands in Lincolnshireand was worried that fri-mon wouldn't be enough time and it was a 3 hour drive as well and we wanted to visit the seal sanctuary and nature park while we were there but it was fantastic, not rushed at all and did everything there was to do.
Have an amazing time xxx

Thanks ladies will do Fx the weathers good too!

we went in may and it was lush! we bought a disposable bbq from bnm bargains and just got sausage, burgers etc from aldi when we were there. we had typical brekkie stuff, bread, porridge etc we got some pasta and sauce and picked up a couple of asda pizzas to stick in the fridge. we ate out most of the time tho x

me and OH had cheese on toast for brekkie, kids had cereal.
then for dinner we had either chippy from on site or made butties
and for tea we ate out, either the pub/restaurant thing or good old papa johns for pizza and cheesy garlic bread YUMYUM!!

we took £400 spending money and came home with £20 which is alot in 3 days but we didnt hold back on anything and the kids got everything they asked for and we did everything there was to do, and it was worth every penny! x

Bloody hell £400 almost!

We spent £150 for a week last year - thats food, drinks, games and days out!
I'm really not looking to spend anymore this week. Guess i'm just a tight cow lol

we spent about £300 in in 5 days and we ate out most of the time and drank a decent amoutn of alcohol! x

we only ate out once or twice and weren't drinking alcohol cause i was preggers. We'll see how much i spend this time lol

oh my god i dont know how you can spend so little!
we took our own alcohol too! i snuck 5 bottles, 5 pint cans and a volvic water bottle filled with port in my handbag so we only bought 1 drink a night for the glass
and we took all food with us thats meals and snacks, apart from tea!
