Cheers Robbo

Hahaha i would say so-but it does make you feel good when packing early!
I shall be gettin things ready when im off work next thursday...back in work the friday, saturday and then im off on my jollies the sunday,so shall be doing bits and bobs this week.

I can never pack so early in advance though-as i end up getting it all out again wanting to wear something!!

I leave for the airport at 7.30pm tomorrow I havent even started packing yet. I will do it tomorrow lunch time then prob have a couple of hours sleep before heading off for the airport. Not looking forward to the night flight.

Bec was cleaning it out from last year and thought i'd put in anything i was not going to use till we got there, usually start packing the week before i go put just thought i'd get a head start

By the way- is it just me, or do Travel adapters just seem to disappear when you come back from holiday?!!!
I must have had about 5 last year when there for season...i know i brought them all back in the case but for the life of me i just cant find any!!!!!!
I hoped they were in the case but nope!!!

[robbo]

Bec you are completely right, could'nt find any last year before going then found them 2 months after we came back when looking for something else

Bec just take one adaptor and an englısh extensıon lead wıth a few plugs on ıt then you can do everythıng all at once!!!

i love doing the packing hubby likes to do his i have some in the case the rest just needs ironing hubby justs rolls his up and puts them in he gets more in and irons them their any one else do this couple we met last year does this all the time

go tomorrow afternoon will pack in morning if i start to early i end up taking it all out and starting again

you're just like me joan - my mates can't beleive i leave it sooo late and usually call round to laugh at me! they always do theirs a couple of weeks beforehand but given the amount of white linen pants I take, they'd be like old rags if i did it too early - nothing to do with me being the worst ironer in the world, honest

am soo forgetful Bec, that I always leave holiday essentials like the adaptors in the case after I get home
I also take a bank of plugs on a long lead - very handy for straighters, hairdryer etc when 3 girlies are all trying to get ready at once!! don't do what I did last year though - the one i took was the broken one grrr


only prob with leaving things in the case though is that i forget what's in there [flip flops, sarongs etc] and usually end up buying new ones before I find them hehe

[joan1950]

i will pack in morning but don't put my going out clothes in till about 1hr before we leave house don't believe in ironing while i'm away... but as they have dropped the weight to 15kgs next year might have to ha ha

I have that problem aswell, travel plugs just seem to disape they are. Luckily they are only 49p each in our local home bargains so I just buy new ones.

ooo its 6 weeks on monday for us, and maybe in 2 weeks the cases will appear, and bits and bobs slowly going in.......

then coming out again.......

and then being repacked

its all part of the build up for me......

[muchtyunited]

I usually pack 2 days before we go that way you still have a day to nip to the shops if you forget anything essential ( like more shoes girls )

Then the day before we go we can relax with a wee pre holiday drink or 5

Think if I packed too early I would forget what I had put in and go racking through the cases and it would all need ironing again.......

[andrea m]

Normally have stuff in the case that I buy when I buy it and then for about 4/6 weeks before I go things go in and back out many times, and didn't iron this year before I went just done any when over there, as normally even if it's been ironed before it is still creased when I take it out, so tend to do it over there no point in doing it twice

Andrea

[LynnJenny]

you have a point their andrea i iron stuff get their and have to iron it again

[Katiehutchinson_1991]

we always back the day before we go and shove the last couple of things in the morning we go as we need them that day like straightners
they are always last as they need to cool down from me using them
