The most importnat thing
 
OK I have read so many posts and packing lists and information and i am in a whirl! I really don't know know where to start, what to do etc.

My head is buzzing with everything I need to remember to bring, pack, throw, hide, eat.

I have lists and lists, and even lists of lists :rofl:

We move into in-laws next weekend.

Shippers arrive in 9 days.

Finish work in 2 wks.

Fly in 26 days and counting. (Thankfully not with Zoom!)


So my question is: What is the most important thing I need to do or remember in the run up to us leaving?

I had a nasty dream last night that I forgot to remove the Visa's and passports before the shippers went in and they took the safe containing them. I didn't realise until they were on the boat sailing! :eek: I woke up crying!!! I had to go and check they were written on my list...

Passport. Credit card. Clothing fit for the first day of work carried as hand luggage.

I shall have a flight bag stuffed with a variety of sweets, chocolate, treats etc for the flight...

Ooooo and I travel on a Wed so can indeed stall off Heat on Tuesday so I can read it on the flight. Though whether I get to actually read it is another thing....:unsure: On my own with 2 kids aged 6 and 1.... hmmmmm:blink:

Luckily I don't have to work on arrival but I will have to look nice for my hubby who I haven't seen for almost 4months! So sexy undies nad chimmy choo's at the top of my case!

Thanks!!

I am moving out to in-laws on teh Sunday so intend to get all the important stuff out of the shippers way.

I will be there when they pack and have decided to put things which are staying or being disposed of in the spare room with a sign saying - 'nothing being packed from here'. :D
