Cheery_Daff

Are you in immediate pre-holiday flapping excitement mode? That'll be why you aren't getting everything done in your usual efficient manner!

Cheery_Daff

Quite possibly VL! :rotfl: :rotfl: Had to keep stopping and doing a bit of hula hooping to get me out of 'aarrgghh!' mode

Also managed to stupidly drink all the milk! :eek: :eek: So HAD to go out, then stupidly left it so late that the local shop was shut, so had to go to the 24 hour garage, and there were a queue of young folk buying alcohol, so landed up going to 24 hour tesco - pah! Still, got picnic while I was there - will save me a job in the morning

Did i make it?! No idea - forgot to look at the list after a while :rotfl: :rotfl:

* [STRIKE]make list for picnic[/STRIKE] - don't need list, have just got picnic!

9.30-10.30
* nice bath

Not too bad I don't think! :T :T Bath is run, just got to hop in it - I've got about 1 minute before Mr Daffs gets home :rotfl: :rotfl: so it'll be a quick bath rather than the leisurely one I imagined :rotfl: :rotfl:

And there's still a couple of mini things on the list to do tomorrow morning, but at least I'll have help then!

And, of course, I still have no idea whether we're going tomorrow or not - depends on the state of Mr Daffs' tooth - my prediction is that he won't want to decide tonight, then at 9am will say he wants a lie in, I'll dash around going to the WI, sorting library books, getting everything in the car, and then around 10.30 he'll get up and suggest we should go on Sunday, but won't want to see the emergency dentist, regardless of if his tooth hurts.

Let's see shall we? Anything is fine really - but that's the eventuality I'm preparing for!

Cheery, thats an amazing read! I love it - that steady updating of the list, rather than going back to the same post and crossing it off, thank you!

Hope Mr Daffs tooth is better than yesterday, and that you both have fun, no matter what you do

Cheery_Daff

I'm sure we will KC

The actual setting off on holiday and the journey is always a little fraught around here And I woke up in the night remembering two things:

(1) the remains of yesterday's breakfast in bed (including a bowl of sliced bananas) is still at the end of the bed.... And since the bed is on its own little mezzanine floor there is thus no need to ever walk round it, and it's very easy to forget things you put down there.... must remember

(2) I had a little minis stash of presents to take to Pippi - where on earth are they?! :eek:

Still, kettle's on, I've remembered the bananas now - they're still there, but removing them is on the list And if I can't find Pippi's presents, then I sthall stick them i hte post

(and I've just burnt me toast - oops!)

And breathe............... your holiday has officially started so enjoy all of it, that includes WI, Library, getting ready, Mr Daffs "lets go tomorrow" because you can you know, time is of no consequence when on holiday. (unless of course you have a set time ferry to catch - mind we missed ours at Christmas and just paid a little extra to get the next one).

vl2588

^^ Precisely! Hope you manage to stop rushing around soon

My OH has tooth trouble too poor lad

Cheery_Daff

bleurgh, tooth ache is vile, truly vile.

I'm perfectly cheery Library, WI, post office all done, all my stuff in the car, Mr Daffs' stuff mostly packed (but not in the car) just pottering round making picnic We *are* going today, and hopefully within the next half hour... [edit - 'by about half 12, 1 ish'...]

Just changed ferry booking to tomorrow afternoon :T :T :T :T

Now - picnic, and a cuppa I think

Cheery_Daff

STILL can't find Pipppi's present - goodness knows what I did with it! :eek: Sorry Pippi Going to stop looking now and concentrate on food Will find it as soon as I get back no doubt!
