Comments

I write a list for each person and then a list for toiletries and electricals. Then pack it all then have a total panic that i've forgotten stuff. But remember as long as you have tickets, passport and money anything thats forgotten can be bought on holiday if necessary.0

What if you enjoy showing off your wardrobe to the world?
I'd ditch the phone off that list too.0 -

I hate packing for a holiday. I feel totally overwhelmed with the task and every year it's the same. I don't know where to start and get really stressed out thinking I'll forget something.
Has anyone got a good holiday packing checklist I could use please? I've tried looking one up on the net but the only ones I found were pretty basic. I'm packing for 2 adults, 1 child and a toddler.
Thank you in advance
Start with what you used on holiday last year don't pack the stuff you took and did not use.
get the photos out if you can't remember.
this year make a list for next year0 -
