Still stuck on 13 NSDs, but there's 3 days before I go away so I might be able to squeeze another 2, maybe 3 in....probably 2 as it means then on Sunday I can buy coffee...mmmm coffee. Now trying to decide what to pack, I need to check the weather but I don't need a towel and I only need half a week's clothes as I can wash them there, which is pretty good of my friend to do....Have sort of got partway thinking about it and here's me list so far:
- Wear jeans and take hoody onto plane - wear big trainers as then they don't get weighed
- Pack a pair of pumps in my bag
- Take something relatively smart...dress and jeggings probably - make sure shoes match
- Pack 1-2 pairs of shorts - long pair and short pair
- Take 3-4 tops
- Take 3-4 knickers
- Take 1 pair normal socks, 2 pairs sport socks
- Toiletries
- Book for on plane/at airport
- Mac? - not too sure on this yet although taking it and my dongle gives me all-night access to the 'net with no charges.
- Bag for carry on on the way home
- Handbag, in case we go out
- MP3 player and LOTS of batteries
- Adaptor
- Phone charger
I think that should do it, well I hope it will anyway
Little bit of make up
Tablets - get a big box.....one of the quetiapine ones...and put enough in for the week

Sounds like a good plan for packing! Don't want to encourage you to spend, but a battery charger might be good, save you taking/ buying loads of batteries for your MP3 player - we usually take one for camera batteries as they run out so fast.Debt@16.12.09 £10,362.38, now debt free as of 29.02.2012."I cannot make my days longer so I strive to make them better."0

red, it only takes 1 AAA battery....so it might not be worth it....and they do last quite a long time...I'll probably take 3-4, just in case.** Total debt: £6950.82 ± May NSDs 1/10 **** Fat Bum Shrinking: -7/56lbs **
