I have the basics from White Arches, now I need the fun stuff. It feels a little like buying for my first home all over again – needing all the basics.
I asked my sister and mum what they have in their caravans that they couldn’t live without and started a list. I had most of the necessary items on the list like cutlery, plates, glasses etc, but glad the following were suggested – chopping board, Tupperware, cling film, rubbish bin ice cube bags, mattress protector and a carpet sweeper!
Top buys:
- Kitchen craft ‘unbreakable’ melamine side plates, plates and bowls – classic colours – (The name of these sounds like a challenge to me and the colour goes with the pastel green in my caravan)
- Set of large plastic acrylic tumbler glasses – Amazon
- Bissell natural sweep carpet sweeper – Amazon
- Alba small screen TV – Argos
- Mattress protector – Dunelm
- Rubbish bin – Ikea
And a pretty artificial plant and pot from Ikea too – just because I can.

Special thanks to Mum and Dad for driving me to numerous shops across Milton Keynes to get the best prices and everything I needed, and my little sister and brother in law for my cutlery and wine glasses and for ordering the sweeper for me! Grandma supplied 2 saucepans, a cafetiere and a cool bag – thank you all x
