We can't fill up the suitcases !!!

This year I paid for us all to check in a case with Ryanair as my dd said she couldn't possibly got for 7 days with only hand luggage. Well, we are really not getting our money's worth as the heaviest case is 10kg and the lightest my ds's is 7kg. So I need not have bothered. Honestly, I am thinking of putting my dressing gown in as well now. Mind you we will be ok if we want to buy anything. Oh and this includes me taking 4 birthday presents. I think I have got too used to travelling light now.

    But think of the stuff you can bring back!
    I don't get the 'holiday packing thing' and tend to take 7-9 Kg, but always manage to bring back lots...

    Why not just add a couple of bricks to each suitcase so that you feel your getting your moneys worth from ryanair!

    If you just want to fill up space on the way out, use an old pillow. You can leave it there if you buy stuff to bring back. It is light but fills the gap and stops all your stuff moving around. We do it all the time, the children like having their 'home' pillows to sleep on whilst away too.

    Harsh, but fair. Maybe the OP just wanted to rant?
    YOUR = belonging to you (your coat); YOU'RE = you are (I hope you're ok)

    really....it's not hard to understand :T
