and would like to share it with me? grin

and [anal retentive emoticon]

<though obv if I were truly AR I would have created my own> [lazy emoticon]

Of the driving to France with lots of kiddy kit kind. The kind of kit I can't possibly forget otherwise we're gonna have to drive back 800 miles or spend a HUGE amount of Euros replacing pushchairs etc.

And while I'm on... Best exchange rate gamble please? Buy some Euros now? Wait a coupla weeks? Buy em in France?

Ta. Now if you could just come over and actually DO my packing I'll lick your face.

I'm a list addict too. I even had one for my wedding, to remind me of the proceedings:

aisle
Altar
Hymn

grin

Seriously, for hols: list on pc - summer and winter versions. Inc emergency numbers eg nhs direct, local drs at destination (guess who's had to use their services). List updated yearly as DC grow older - swap armbands for nintendo etc.

Also listed - stuff to do before leaving - clean fridge etc.

List of food we order for del on hol and our return.

Ahhhhhh.

I love love lists. My whole life is listed or I forget what to do.

I ought to have

1) Breathe in
2) Breathe out

A spreadsheet though?! Now you're talking. And as for a laminated list with wipe off pens... Nirvana grin

bunnyrabbit if you see this would you mind emailing me your packing spreadsheet?

[Wishes she was more organised]

I see you are super organised and have several different ones so ideally one with a baby/toddler in mind, longhaul, beach hotel.

Thanks in advance!!!

Wow !

I can't believe this thread - I haven't had such a laugh in ages, but I'm so glad to see there are others out there panicking as they too don't have their lives set out in spreadsheets. I used to do lists of what to pack for holiday, but haven't given it a thought since the arrival of my little boy, but with 4 weeks to go before our first family holiday, I'm now getting stressed! shock

I too want to join the spreadsheet revolution and buy my own laminator! grin

Dearest Bunnyrabbit _ I know I'm late to add to this thread, but I'd be forever indebted to you if you could send me a copy of your list. nicola at mcrob dot demon dot co dot uk. Thanks! smile

I know this thread was a while ago but bunnyrabbit could you send the list to me as well. Am going on holiday with dd1&2 (ages 6&3), and i know i am bound to forget something.

Thank you very much BR for the list, we're going away for the first time next week so it will come in very useful! smile
