we set off from Brisbane 2 weeks ago and so far have managed to avoid those niggly little arguments that come from being in such a confined space but this morning as we prepared to leave Rubyvale the divorce papers were all but signed....the reason, our ensuite tent ( first time we have used it ). Hubby tried to put it down and ended up throwing it so I had a go...major effort, no results. The mates had a go with same result. By now hubby is swearing and carrying on as men do and was ready to donate it to the bush. Between us we managed to cram it into the bag ( well half of it into the bag ) and threw it on hubbys bed in the van. Arrive here at Jericho and hubby is wondering what to do with the 'thing ' on his bed still carrying on about how useless it is. I quietly went onto youtube watched a 30second video, took the useless piece of s##t ( the tent not hubby ) outside did as I saw in the video and in less than a minute had the tent folded and neatly packed in the bag.

I am so good at packing those things away now ..... watched the mate wrestle with his for 10 minutes this afternoon ( and he was following the instructions that came with it ) then went over and told him I would show him how to do it...30 seconds later he thought I was a genius ( I didn't disillusion him ) I walked off smiling. Maybe I can make some money on this trip offering to teach people how to pack their ensuite tents, will charge $5 a lesson.
