Default why did i leave everything till the last minute!

hi all

with only a day to go ive begun packing...what a nightmare...my contact lens soloutions must weigh more than 5kgs...then theres the bloody case..big enough for me to camp out in..

anyway have phoned singapore airlines and asked for extra luggage allowance..and i know i should have somehthing in writing...but left it toooo late now...got the girls name on the phone so hopefully will just blag it.

Oh and theres a million and one other things to do, might just hit the bottle now

why did i leave everything till now...im so unorganised.

Poor you! If you get 5 min later on then update us with a list of 'things you should do before the last day'! I can then refer to it in a couple of months just before we go!
Good luck with it all!

All you need to worry about is getting on the plane - the rest will take care of itself.

Have a great flight - welcome to your new life!

Don't stress - even with months of meticulous planning, it still feels like everything is a rush at the last minute!

Good luck with everything, and I really hope the new job woks out...

Don't worry you are not the only one that left everthing until the last minute. We set off to brisbane from england on thursday and we were so bad at getting things sorted that we were sat in Heathrow paying finla bills and cancelling the phone insurance and internet. Now we were last minute!!!!
also dont worry about the weight limit too much. we were allowed 30kg with singapore airlines but it wasn't enough so we thought we would just try and blag it with the person at check in. Between the two of us we were 16kg over but we still managed to get through.

Good Luck
