After 4 hours of discussion yesterday we now have a
definitive* list of all the things we need to fit inside our tiny car. As with all
the best meetings it started with a bucket of KFC and ended with us nearly
getting locked in college. If you have
any of the checked items hanging around, or know where we can get them on the
cheap do tell us!

*Definitive list may not actually be definitive. If you
notice that we’ve left off something really obvious like toothpaste let us know
(please don’t keep quiet and laugh at our misfortune)

Tried to get iodine in this country before India last year,turns out its nearly impossible to buy here! Better off abroad. Also...road chocolate?!
ReplyDeleteHa! the website thought you were a spam!
DeleteCheers for the iodine advice, I guess we'll try and pick some up in Scandanavia or Eastern Europe then.
Road chocolate is a consumable so it's not listed, that said I'm not sure how to fit in suitable amounts of Cadburys, maybe I'll leave Rory and Ant behind to make space...
