I totally agree with Bob.......Having a job is very important these days.....But don't let it spoil your family's camping weekend......
As you say that you are just a stones throw away...so just bring your family to the Bash where they will be well looked after.......

....we are very friendly sometimes.....
If your problem is that you are dependant on your Bongo for camping then just post here.....I am sure that there are many on here with like me with camping gear that is surplus to requirements.....eg....8 man...oops (person ) tent....tables seats cooker etc.....
Don't forget that you are among friends here who will do all we can to make your disrupted FAMILY holiday memorable.
