How to have a camping/sleepover in my front Garden?

Okay, So here’s the problem. I had a friend sleepover in a tent with me in my front garden in the middle of winter, but it was warm because my tent is thermal and we had 3 duvets and loads of pillows as well as hot water bottles and food and drinks, also my mum gave us the key to the house incase we wanted to come in. Now, approximately 5 months later, in the warmth, my mum will not let me sleep in the tent again with my best friend, she says it will be too cold but even in the winter we were roasting. I have been thinking of what I could say to her to say please but I just want a way that will definitely convince her because I know my friend and I will be too loud in the house especially with my 4 year old brother in the room next door. Please could I have some ideas on how I could convince my mum, no matter how crazy. P.S : Does anyone know how I could make a lamp or something that is safe for light, it’s just we might not be able to use flashlights the WHOLE night :D Thank youu

You used the word ‘mum’, so I’m guessing you are either from England or Australia.:)

I’m surprised you got away with sleeping in a tent in front of your house. It is not one of the safest things to do… In the backyard is fine but even than it’s a bit risky as some idiots might jump the fence and ravish you and your friend whilst you are both fast asleep.

If you unzip the tent zipper half way, the air outside should be able to come in and this will reduce the stuffiness inside.

A lamp isn’t a good idea, unless you have a massive long cord to plug the lamp socket in, otherwise I suggest purchasing the battery-less torch which generates lights after you wind the handle for a few minutes. The torch gives you atleast 2 hours of light for every 5 minutes of winding.

Here is the excuse you need:

MUMMY, I WANT TO GO CAMPING, SO IF YOU WON’T LET ME DO IT OUTSIDE OUR OWN HOUSE, I WILL DEMAND YOU AND DADDY TAKE ME ON A CAMPING TRIP THIS WEEKEND AND WE WILL USE THE RIVER TO TAKE A SHOWER IN AND WE WILL USE THE HOLE IN THE GROUND AS THE TOILET…

PLEASE SAY ‘YES’ OTHERWISE I WILL REFUSE TO TALK TO YOU BOTH FOR A WHOLE WEEK AND YOU BOTH WOULD HAVE RUIN MY LIFE FOREVER. (gotta yell)
