In reply to All;
the good news is with new comfy mats( i splashed out) and a quilt to cover them as well as proper cushions, not to forget sleeping bags Shelley actually enjoyed her sleep and decided to go camping again, the bad news was she couldn't understand the reason I had the smallest tent on the site ( Nant Gwynant )and expressed her opinions considerably about tent envy and the coziness of the small thing i brought.
but even that didn't put Shelley off camping again, as on returning home she went on a mission and purchased; without much encouragement from me, a six person tent and is looking forward to Glamping in a couple of weeks time.
thanks for all the advice everybody, it was very useful.
