    I am going to point as much as I can, just to see what I would normally eat, I definitely need to keep a food diary like I said. Besides our healthy eating thing at school means no - one eats the food people give to the table in my staff room.

    yet another reason why I can't stand it there!!

    We have to walk past the healthy eating award plaque to get to the staff room, but it doesnt apply in there. It's always weighed down with all sorts of wicked things, and nothing lasts very long :rolleyes:

    Phew, back from Tesco. I have Euros, a big bag which fits Ryanair's size restriction but will carry everything, a cheap little handbag and purse in case I get mugged so I don't lose all my normal stuff, mini toiletries that cost more than big ones, and a pair of muffler boots which are flat and so should help with walking around.

    Also have a moussaka ready meal for tea, and some stuff for a packed lunch for monday since I'll leave here at midday and not land till 10.30.

    Most importantly, a pair of scales so I can check the luggage weight, find out how much a bottle of alcohol weighs, and leave enough space to bring back some souvenirs.

    So now I'm going to settle down with a book/ou stuff, some coffee, and later on some Cava.
    Unless I say otherwise 'you' means the general you not you specifically.
