Getting ready to go!

After getting the foam I got the number of an upholsterer in Yoker who had done some work on a friend's van and went to see him to get the foam covered and here it is..




Done to match in with the seats in the back of the van.

Now as you may have noticed the above picture, there are things hanging from the windows.

There are curtains on both side windows



We also have curtains at the doorway to the bedroom



There is also a dividing curtain closing off the cab..



And finally to keep the heat in at the back...

A full length curtain to keep my little babies warm in the back

Now a major thank you has to go to my mother in law, yes i did say mother in law and there will definetly be no jokes here just thank you, thank you, thank you, Margaret for all your work in making all the curtains from scratch.

Once I collected the van from getting curtains, and scrubbed from top to bottom by Mairi, Ella, Nathan (apparently), and Margaret, I got it home and started to load up for an overnight trip and then, DISASTER!!!! when i put the water bottle back in i managed to pull the power connection out of the water pump. Not a major problem you think, but remember i connected this before the kitchen was fitted to the van.

After a tight squeeze, yes no a small person, and having to remove the water bottle holder from the floor and it was reconnected and working again, thank goodness.

Van packed and ready to go yipee!!!!
