    It really is :j
    I love reading it when other people write it, so I'm going to adopt it, even though there's not long to go now :p


    I've added to the packing-type things going on, but I'm taking it really easily today :)

    I always find that the final sleep is more like half a sleep as I'm either so excited or my brain is full of 'have I remembered to …..' :eek:. Often, my best laid plans were scuppered at the last minute by OH bringing me a pair of trousers or shirt at the 11th hour and asking if I can 'freshen it up' as he's decided to take it with him after all:(. Freshening up means washing, drying and probably ironing said garment about 4 hours before our departure:mad:. At least you haven't any of that palaver to worry about:j

    Sleeps are troublesome in that way, CBC, its true! As for a partner doing that to me ... no, I don't have that ... cue many deletions, CBC, I'm sorry you go through that before a holiday!


    Right, faffy bits done, just got to pay a credit card, then choose something else from the To Be Done list :eek:
