Back Window Stickyon Stuff. Take 2.

After a few more tries I managed to get the stuff to stay on the back window.  It works, kinda anyway.  I don't think I'm completely happy with it though and on our *adventure* this weekend gone Hubby says it's not the best.  He says you can't see out of it good enough.  And as you can still see inside the van from out the back I am rethinking the whole thing.

I did buy some other stuff to try but haven't put it on yet.  It is a film of tint stuff, what I wanted to try in the first place but couldn't find an any of the shops I looked in. 

I will report back when I do the changeover.

Back Window Stickyon Stuff. Take 1.

I know that there are lots of things that I cannot do.  I know my limitations and work within them.
But I'm not completely useless. 
Or am I?
I didn't like the way that anyone could see right into the back window of the van and thought about putting up a net curtain but ended up buying some stuff that just sticks on with water.  Hubby made the comment that he supposed that's another job for him but I said of cause not, I wanted to do it.  It wasn't going to be hard.

Well I have been out there for more than an hour trying to get this stuff on the window and to stay there.  Five attempts and I still can't get it.

I have come inside for a bit but will try again this evening.

HoHum...

Find It, Pack It.

So in anticipation of the overnighter coming up this Saturday I am, have been, will be, out trying to get things together.
We are going up to McAlinden again, this time for a 50th birthday party so we shouldn't need to take food but I will take an esky *just in case*   I don't eat the sort of foods that they usually serve so I will need snacks and breakfast at least.  And my own coffee making facilities because we will be sleeping in the car and I get up earlier than everyone else.

I need a list of what to take I think, then I need ways of packing it in the back.  Boxes of some sort?
For this one nighter I will put the swag in on the floor and pack the other stuff around that.  I won't need much  as we won't be needing a shower and we will use their toilet/bathroom.
Swag.  Sorted.
Stove.  We seem to be missing one of these so I have pinched  borrowed one we use with the cruiser.  There is a cigarette lighter with it but I will put some matches in there as well.  (this is actually what I came inside to get. Oops! lol)  Just thought, these are automatic ignition so probably don't need matches but I have them now so they are in and may come in handy later.  Done.
Coffee stuff.  Coffee, tea, sugar, milk...Need to find some jars to put some in to take.
Cups and plates. cutlery.  I want a box or bag that I can keep these in together.  Can't decide what though.
Esky.  I need to decide what one I want to keep for the van and make sure it is clean.
Lighting.  Torch.  Hubby's solar light?

I'm thinking that a mat of some sort will be good for stopping a lot of dirt getting in the back but I haven't got one.  Maybe a small piece of carpet?

What else will I need?  I'm having problems thinking and it's only for overnight.  How will I manage to get ready for a few days!
