What did you forget to pack

[bigwood]

We got to the outskirts of York before I realized we hadn’t packed the bedding. Fortunately we were staying next to a retail park so bought bedding there.
Now we have a set of bedding in the van permanently but there are is still going to be things we forgot. Most things we have been able to buy en route apart from medication.

Really all you need is medication, passport, tickets, money (some folding and lots of the plastic type). Anything else can be bought at some point.

Martin's luggage went missing on a business flight..... he had to buy essentials at the airport and at over £20 (30 years ago) they were the most expensive pair of underwear he ever owned. They also didn't wash well so ended up in the bin after a single wearing.

Underwear is a common theme by the looks of it .

Easiest thing to do without I'd have thought.

Or maybe that's because I'm not a woman..

I had a trolley load of shopping which I had just bought from Sains.
I was about to load it into the boot and my phone rang.
I sat in the car as it was cold to take the call.
5 minutes later I drove off and left £90 of shopping in the car park.
Only noticed at home when I opened the boot

Was it still there when you got back?

Years ago, when we were still camping the other half forgot the tent poles… luckily it was only about 40 miles home, not 200. Kids were amused me less so. I think it was a ploy. I always double check everything since.

you can make a pair last 4 days, back to front on day 2 then inside out followed by inside out back to front..... so I'm told.

My Dad once took my sister out in her pram and left her outside a shop. She was still there an hour later when he remembered!!!!! Mum never let him forget it.

Minor inconvenience was remembering the TV but not both power leads for it… major was the Branston Pickle for my favourite Sarnies! Also, somehow all the blue quality street sweets had disappeared from the box - again! My other half swears blind it was mice… and we have just caught two in our MH… hmmmm…

My mother did something similar but it was the dog she left tied up outside a department store in Brighton, this was after she'd been very vocal about some curtain material she'd bought with one of the assistants while we tried to pretend we weren't with her. Of course, we got the blame for not reminding her about the dog.

Another time we were going out in the car for a trip when I was a child, she turned to my sister and I in the back seats and asked if we had the dog, we said no and she looked at my dad in horror and told him to go back because the dog was still shut in the garden.

Same dog both times.
