Take a moment to breath, realise that you are making a life choice.

Go for a walk in the rain and the woods, breath deep, splash in puddles like a kid, even roll in the mud.

Then tick the lists provided by the other poster.

PANIC! and DRINK! and PANIC!

Nah seriously take a deep breath. Enjoy your surroundings. Takes lots of pics etc. Try and pay people off. We found this the hardest. Likes Council Tax etc. See the To do list that Wendy posted.

Cheers and good luck

Hey Where in Scotland are you? We are in East Kilbride we fly 4 weeks on Fri from Glasgow via Singapore heading for the Gold Coast too! I don't feel at all like there is anything to do... most probably because I have no idea about something really important that I should be doing right now!
