Indecisive: not providing a clear and definite result .........but the cushions are lovely

I have just spent over an hour searching the internet looking at hook up cables.  It is not that exciting a topic but for some reason I am finding it extremely difficult to make any rational decision when it comes to this caravan. 

I have a kettle and some lovely plates.  I have squishy and colourful cushions.  I have a flamingo that fell on my head when I opened the wardrobe this morning.  I did have fairy lights but have used them in garden.  I have a cute little bread board and some cutlery.  I have a picnic chair which is rather funky and a couple of throws.  I have a set of dominos (why?) and a radio.  To be fair most of the aforementioned items have been purchased in sales so I am feeling rather smug with myself but they hardly constitute the 'essential's' needed for caravanning. 

I have my list from the Eriba Puck Facebook group (see post 'flamingos, gnomes and a washing machine drum) which is my kind of list but I haven't even got half of that yet! 

I do have my lovely awning purchased from Puck Buddies - Bespoke Vintage Awnings and I am hoping to get a windbreaker to match (although Dianne sent me in a tizzy offering to supply the fabric so I could sew it up - how little she knows me and has since reassured me she will sew).  I am very pleased with my awning however I am now finding it difficult to decide on poles.  Jeez Louise, how hard can it be?  Dianne was very clear in her instructions - buy washing poles from eBay (approx. £10 a pair) and get two awning stops (leave one in permanently). 







My target over the coming week is to be decisive, stop getting distracted by curtain fabric and purchase the following: 

Fire Bucket - to wee in (see previous post)

Towing mirrors - I have been recommended Milenco by Practical Caravanning Instructor John who knows all and sees all and trusts no-one

Aqua roll for fresh water and tube for filling and pump (I have no idea what any of this is apart from the fresh water so will research)

Waste water container - recommended that both fresh and waste water containers are those with wheels given my delicate disposition i.e. age and arthritic knees

Lightweight gas bottle and spanner (I genuinely would not know what to do with a spanner but I will get one anyway as I saw it on a list)

Long electric hook up cable (how long is long?)

Very large torch (I did buy a cute pink torch but it is the size of a paperclip)

Table for outside (I found myself in Morrisons today trying to estimate the weight of a folding picnic table they were selling for £10 - no decision reached)

Bedding and a memory foam topper for a decent nights sleep - I have looked at Duvalay portable mattress toppers which are pretty expensive but do have great reviews

Toaster - this really is an essential due to my penchant for beans on toast, avocado on toast, peanut butter on toast, jam on toast and banana on toast

A hammer thing to hit things with

Baskets

I have decided I can't do that all that levelling the caravan fuss stuff so will insist on a flat surface at any site

I also need to start thinking about storage however the postman has just delivered my samples of vinyl floor tiles so am now more than a little distracted ......
