Preparing, planning and panicking!

The 3 p's for getting ready for a holiday.
We are only going camping, but there are so many things to remember, and of course, not just for me only....the two little people and the other big 1.
I have had fun making lists, and going through all the essentials, and then buying things on a whim cos they look good. Typical...
The tent is a sunncamp prism which we partially erected in the garden, so I am quite happy with it. Provided it does not rain whilst putting it up, or the kids don't try and tamper with it. Campsites need to provide a holding area for kids whilst parents are putting up tents, you can't expect 2 under 4's to HELP. I know Derbyshire is only just over 2 hours away, not as far as I was thinking. People keep asking me is it near the lakes, I think not, in fact I do not know what is there!
Hire car arrives tonight and I am keeping everything crossed they accept my drivers licence that has the wrong name, and wrong address on it. Deep breath. Otherwise there is no way of getting there. Walking/Public transport is not an option. The ka is too small to transport all the stuff we need to travel with.
I just hope when I get there I can relax properly and start to enjoy myself.
I am trying to think positively about everything.

Positive thoughts, I will go and finish packing now.
