Cheese Rolling: Britain is a treasure chest of old customs and Gloucester is no exception. Where else can you see people throwing themselves down a near vertical hill to catch a large Double Gloucester Cheese.

I’m on a mission to make sure everyone makes the best of use of all the space in their homes!! I recently mentioned how to get 3 times more storage space in your wardrobe! And now I’ve got a solution for the limited (but incredibly useful) space under the bed.

Ok, you can’t actually increase this space, but you can reduce the size of items you put under there… and that means making use of the brilliant concept of Vacuum Storage!
The Deluxe Underbed Vacuum Storage Chest, which is new to the vacuum storage range, will reduce volume by up to 75%! Storage bags and boxes for under the bed are great, and will organise what goes under there making it easy to get out and being organised will actually gain you some extra space too.

However, for items that you don’t need to get to every day a vacuum chest is ideal. This one is high capacity with a compressible inner bag, and is very sturdy with rigid side panels. Both airtight & waterproof it has the added benefit of providing protection against moths, bugs, dirt, mildew & odours.

The see-through window allows quick identification of contents and the strong handle makes it easy to pull out. A brilliant invention for neatly storing bulky items under the bed (not intended for storing feathered duvets or perishable goods). Dimensions: 106 x 45 x 15 cms ( 41″ x 17 ” x 6″ approx )

If you also want to make use of vacuum bags in your loft or cellar, the Vacuum Storage Jumper/blanket Volume Reducing Chest is available in large and jumbo size and reduces volume by up to 60%.Travel Vacuum Bags are also available which are great for reducing bulk in your suitcase.

These are two bags (Large and Medium) which are re-usable clear sealing bags, and all the air can be squeezed out by rolling the bag up so brilliant for travel. The clothes will retain their original shape and size. If you don’t require the vacuum style of storage you will still need to keep everything easily accessible and for this you can still use storage bags generally
One large chest contains a vacuum bag with the capacity to store jumpers, pillows, blankets, duvets, sheets and/or t-shirts and then by inserting your vacuum cleaner’s hose into the valve the air is removed from the bag, and just watch the volume of the bag reduce. One Large bag size: 43 x 40 x 26cm
Now you can store your last season’s clothing in smaller spaces. The stack able chest will protect your cottons and woolens against dust, moisture, insects and moths and mildew.

Re-use the chests - open the seal and the stored items recover their original shape and size. You can add more chests in the stack - buy them as you go and add them.
The Jumbo size is 65 x 48 x 28cm. The storage bags will reduce to an uneven shape, depending upon what you put in them. Our chests are stack able, so that you can store multiple bags neatly. Think Small!

With the poor exchange rate of the pound sterling against the euro, British residents will get much less for their money in Europe unless the present situation improves. We saw some recovery this year, but it is still about 1.12/1 between the pound sterling still.

As a result many United Kingdom residents will consider not going abroad for their 2010 holiday unless things get better.

This is why the clever thing to do is to arrange a motorhome holiday for 2010. If the exchange rate does not improve before the summer then a motorhome holiday in the United Kingdom makes good financial sense.

If the sterling/euro exchange rate should improve in the pound sterling’s favour then you could still take your already hired motorhome to Europe and make the most of getting more euros for your money. Countries such as Spain and also the former Eastern block countries such as Croatia have great cheap campsites and meals out are inexpensive.

Better fuel prices: It is worth noting that economic and political circumstances surrounding America and the Middle East have meant that fuel prices have stabilized during the autumn of 2008. Petrol and diesel are less expensive than they were a few months ago, a situation which looks likely to last into 2009 and a factor that is very important if you are considering a touring holiday.

Investing in the UK: If you do “holiday at home” in the UK you will be helping to keep small businesses in your own country afloat. You may be helping other people just like you to provide for their families. You will be making a “greener choice” too by not flying to your holiday destination.

When you hire your motorhome in the United Kingdom and you pay in pounds sterling, you are not affected by fluctuations in the European exchange rate.

Families love motorhome holidays: Children love camping holidays but sometimes Mums and Dads find the “under canvas” variety somewhat lacking in luxury!

If you are wanting to travel or live in a motorhome, you are going to need the right kind of furniture. You’ll need storage space, specific furniture, and other accessories for both inside and outside of the RV. There are many styles and colors that you can choose from which will lallow you be unique with your motorhome furniture choices.

You will have to begin with the basic supplies: a bed, toilet, eating table,chairs, refrigerator, etc. If you have a smaller space, you can find furniture that can be used for more than one thing, such as a sofa with a bed in it or table that has multiple uses.

There are many quality convertible beds available, along with magic beds, jackknife beds, and easy beds. They typically have pop-out foot rests as well. You can relax during the day and sleep on it at night. This style of motorhome furniture comes in many sizes and styles, so you shouldn’t have any problem finding one to suit your needs.

The selections for tables and chairs is also plentiful. You can pick from dinner tables that can be used also as a computer or office desk, living room chairs that have storage space underneath them, folding chairs, etc. Again, there are many options of style and color.

Maybe the most important piece of furniture you choose is a captain’s chair. Consider the quality and comfort more than anything else. This is absolutely something on which you should not compromise quality. Comfort is something that you need when traveling by motorhome.

When buying RV and motorhome furniture, you can’t neglect the accessories, such as electrical items. You’ll need a fridge and cookers after all. You’ll also need heating if you plan on taking your home to colder climates, and air conditioning for warmer climates.

There are also necessary items such as a swivel toilet, water tank, pumps, waste carriers, etc. Do not go cheap on the little things that make life easier and convenient. There are some great deals so take time to look for discounts and sales.

The main thing to remember is not to compromise on quality because you will want to be comfortable in your motorhome. Look for quality and durability more so than color or style. You want to make your home away from home a really wonderful place to live.
