Packing Frenzy

The frenzy has begun. I now have the following washbags!
- on the plane
-on the plane but its liquid so it has to go in a clear bag
- in the luggage
- callum's wash stuff
- medicine/first aid bag
- minimal makeup and nail varnish (I know I am going so girlie. 2 years ago I would never have bothered. That is what turning 35 does to you)

What a lot of stuff. Good job we are not taking too many clothes.

Thanks so much to those who have emailed or commented with ideas. I am loving the masking tape one that is genius (see comments on earlier blogs)

I am desperately trying to finish up all my work in preparation for a trip to see relatives this afternoon. Poor Callum is watching "Sinbad" cartoon downstairs. I am quite jealous, Brad Pitt is a great Sinbad.

OK back to the packing packing and work!

Yondi Arrived

Had a great morning down at Mayflower Park with 3 other mums and a total of 7 children from 2 - 6 years old. Much running around and being pestered by wasps was had by all. The kids particularly enjoyed playing "Simon Says.." . I wonder if we could get away with that on the plane? "Simon Says... watch the film", "Simon Says... stop wriggling and go to sleep" etc. It could work except you know that there will come the conversation that goes "For the last time will you stop kicking the very large angry man in the seat in front" ..... "but Mummy you didn't say Simon says..."

In other news Yondi arrived today and was greeted with much warmth and excitement, so that is a good start.

Packing STILL not done, but all the paperwork is done. Can't wait for haircut and final shopping tomorrow.

I do feel a serious meltdown is immanent in next 48hrs. Watch This Space
