Wine at 10 in the morning, must be stress

Where you heading to?

And when you get there you have to do all this again.

eddie007

heading for perth..

thanks for the tip... I'm telling my hubby when he comes home and finds me doing newt impersonations that I'm adjusting to WA time

Jockstar

Never done that before. But then thats just me. Good luck. And dont worry. You'll be fine.

Edie, my dear....

Calm down.

You have approx 22 items on your list and need to complete in 11 weeks?

That's 1.9 items per week.

Given this, I feel confident you can wipe that list out easily.

eddie007

Thanks ipom... you are sooo right, I have cancelled sky and telephone this morning and unlocked mobile ready for sim card on arrival... I don't have to do another thing for a whole week.... some one pass the wine

don't worry ( easier said I know) - you will get it all done. We fly 3 weeks tomorrow and have still got most of what's on your list left to do!! Set yourself so many things per day and you'll soon see your list going down. In the meantime enjoy your wine
