I can fully sympathise Susan. I nearly got taken out by a Peppa Pig Play tent at the weekend. It shot out of its paper binding like a shot out of a gun. To make matters worse our grand daughter wouldn't go near it and then no matter how hard we tried we couldn't get the blessed thing back in the box again, no matter how hard we bent, folded ot twisted it. |

If you were camping in Paris and tripped over a guy rope and fell in the river would you be in Seine? |

Susan I have done this myself, getting the tent out and popping it up is great , but it is a nightmare trying to get it back in the bag. I hope your lip heals up soon :-) |

Obviously your injuries are not serious enough to prevent you engaging in electronic fisticuffs Susanwiv :-D |

That's a good point, Susan. We bought a cheap pop-up tent for the grandies to play in. They have a great time setting up home inside the tent but I will warn Grandad to watch them when he puts the tent up in future. |

it's a bit clicky. at times Allan....sometimes when others post I don't see what they have written until after I have posted then it looks as if I have ignored them..... |

I will, Susan - don't you worry. Now make sure you get plenty of rest and that your family are aware of how close you came to catastrophe. |
