Default 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

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! 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.... On my own with 2 kids aged 6 and 1.... hmmmmm

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!

dont leave your passports and cash about or the shippers will box them they did that to us and a lot of boxes had to be re opened put stuff in your hand bag and keep it with you cos if thats lying around that will go. everything they see they pack

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'.
