The problem with these timeshare. Its, they never have enough platters, dishes etc, sharp knives etc. i have 2 very large boxes packed which is crazy.
Please can someone tell me the essentials. I am a big over packer >:(
Its ok going down, dh car is full & mine will be too. Coming home we have eb & his luggage, so cant fill my car.
Of course thermie is coming, but do I really need to take 2nd bowl.
:)
-
Have fun Hally :)
-
We are 1 week in mandurah & 1 week in busselton.
Essentials to me is my kitchen, my home hetre room & my harry potter cupboard under the stairs :)
-
Take Thermie, a good knife , and some plastic throw away plates, have a holiday. It's amazing what you can do without, hope you have a great time.
-
At least you know what to expect Hally. I've booked a house for a week and all I've got to go on is a few pics on a website, no idea what will be provided. Still undecided as to whether to take thermie or not, I don't really plan to do much cooking. I'll definitely be taking a good knife or 2, chopping board, maybe a decent frypan and something to make coffee in, probably just a plunger. If they don't have enough plates I'll probably get paper ones - save on washing up!
-
Hope you have a great holiday Hally, enjoy the break

Oh my Hally did I just read 2 cars as well?!?!
Paper plates, cups and cutlery, Thermie and some clothes. Have a holiday!!
Enjoy your break and have a well deserved rest :-* :-*
-
Just take what AB says, and a small lasagne dish and your fave spatula and TM mat. They have shops in Mandurah so if you really need something you can buy it, but you'll probably find you can live without for 2 wks. Have a lovely relaxing holiday H.
-
Hally take everyone's advice and make it a holiday. You will manage. You defintiely DON'T need the 2nd bowl..
If you could squish it into one car it is more fun as the adventure is the driving there as well.
When you come home, taek note of things you didn't use or hardly used and never take them again.
Have a lovely holiday and drive safely.
-
Thank you.
One car has gone with dh. He has the santa sack presents, his clothes, cps clothes, large box of lots of things like, washing powder, dishwashing, baking pappers, toilet roll etc etc. christmas tree, sporting toys, sun tent, beach chairs etc.
I am taking other presents, food, frozen, fridge & pantry, my clothes, alcohol & bits & pieces, plus the kitchen stuff & thermie :)

Hally, take only take a quarter of what you think you may need, as everyone has said your are on HOLIDAY ;D
My mum has a list of things she always takes away. I think the essentials are a large chopping board, a spatula, long handled tongs for the Bbq and two sharp knives. You have your thermie and are planning to BBQ so you won't need much else. Maybe glad wrap, foil and some resealable plastic bags.
Oh, and enjoy yourself ;D
-
Just don't forget cp! :D
-
Do what AB says and gave a relaxing holiday.
-
Cps at the movies with his friend & mum so I can concentrat.
I dont want to go to the shops thats why I have so much, lol.
Now going to look at my equipment :)
-
Sit down and have a breather, you will be exhausted before youngest there, eat sandwiches and rolls on the beach or at the park.

Oh you are so funny, lol
I am abit of an over packer ;)
I have reduced my frizen meat by about 2kgs!!
-
Just read my post stupid spelling checker and does anyone else find they hit the N and M keys instead of the space bar on the iPad .
Supposed to read before you get there.. ;D
-
Hally, you will need to cull or leave one of the boys and his belongings there when you come back ;D You've done it many times before so I'm sure you will work it out but definitely do not need the second bowl. If you are going to be in the kitchen all day cooking, you might as well stay home - relax, unwind and enjoy a leisurely holiday. I know that's hard for you and nothing we can say will make you change but have a great time and come back refreshed. :-* :-*
-
take it easy, pack it all, then put 1/2 back. :)
-
JDs right, she knows me too well .taking 2kg of meat out was hard enough.
On the plus side I have 1 large box of ktchen items, & my cheese bard & my tm with one bowl :)
Chopping board,
Scissors
String
2 knives
3 tupperware salad bowls, salad servers
1 thermo serve
1 small tupperware server
1 oblong storage box
Some other tupperware containers & a tupperware jug
Leaving very soon, cp just finished vacuuming :)
-
Travel safely Hally, bet CP is excited.
-
If you have thermie and a barbecue you are set Hally.
Try to eat out as well as it is a holiday.
I love cooking but when away I enjoy eating out and cooking the occasional meal.
Relax and enjoy the break :D
-
Have a great time and rest that shoulder!
Enjoy!
-

Have a great time and hope cp has a good Christmas x

Gert, glad I gave you entertainment ;D

MF, red mamma on the waterfront, we have been before & enjoyed it very much.
:)
-
Sounds good Hally.
We have been there often and enjoy it. :D

Hally it is 5 or 7 minutes away from the forum on pink area road if you are heading to Pinjarra.

Yes found it on gogle maps :)

Must admit have only used TM twice & that was to cook potatoes :)
I think the reason being I made up packs of marinade & marinated our meat before I left. A really good idea.
I will see how much I use it over the new year too, if its only been used for basic things, TM might not come next trip.
Am certainly looking at what I use & need for the next trip :)
Will keep a list on the ipad.
:)
-
Hi Halex, may I ask did you vacum pack your meat to take away in the marinades? we are going camping end Jan and I like the idea of taking the meat prepared.
-
GHM, yes I did :)
-
Great idea vacum packs..

Great idea vacum packs..
Just a hint - don't vacuum pack your left over ham to freeze. I was about to do this and DS ( a butcher ) nearly collapsed, apparently it causes bacteria to grow. Put it in a regular freezer bag.
-
Thanks mitch :)
Nearly finished ham no.3 :)
-
Mmmmm, ok, brought way too many pantry items. Probably got through about 1/3rd ???
Its been hot, so not eating as much.
Cream Puffs idea of a list is great, tracking what I use & how much. TM to chop eggs to make egg sandwiches & cook potatoes!! the trick was preparing everything before we left. Be interested to see how much I use it the 2nd week :)
Also have a ww online order arriving tomorrow morning with our dairy & fresh salads etc.
