Seaside Car Boot is crammed!

Well the weather was scorching the summer had arrived and we were on our way to sunny Brighton for Baby Expo 2008 show as kitchenmonkey hit the road.

Fully laden the car was packed and I did think at one stage that I might have to place Edward on the roof rack. I am sure many of you have had that feeling when packing the car.

I am sure you know some one who even if you are going for just one night or a weekend they have to bring their entire wardrobe with them. Yes, you know who you are, don’t you?. Like ‘sex in the city’ star Sarah Jessica Parker, there you are ready to be picked up for your adventure along with several designer cases.

The funny part is the car is already full with just enough room for one more bag, and yes, you have to unpack and try again to squeeze everything in the boot of the car. I remember saying to my daughter, ‘why don’t you bring a friend with you’, a few weeks before we were going away for a short break in the lake district.

Well Anna, we remember a long weekend 4 days and 4 nights one of which we were travelling and you managed to pack 4 whole cases. It must of been like watching a scene from Laurel and Hardy, as we unpacked the boot of the car to try to fit everything in and then had to squeeze some bags in the car between the kids on the bag seat ,as you refused to leave anything behind. We laugh about it now and how you tried to wear everything you had brought with you in 4 days, which was even funnier. I should of known then that you would grow up to be in the fashion industry really.
