I Need to calm down

We are going skiing in 3 weeks.
I have just packed all my wash kit- shampoo etc. triggered by finding the sun cream in the cupboard.
Obviously Christmas is going to take up lots of time (we leave on 27th) so packing before Christmas is a good idea. But we're not leaving for 3 WEEKS!!
I've hidden the full wash bag so DH can't see it or he'll think I'm totally potty.
But I can't wait!

Me and dd are going in three weeks too. Our kit is going by car three days ahead of us and we are flying so I am planning on packing most of our stuff this week too Grin

Oh good that makes me feel less silly!
DH leaves all packing to me- and the 3 kids can't pack themselves so I do it all.
I think if it wasn't christmas I wouldn't start yet but I rally don't want to be packing on Boxing Day- I ant to be able to relax knowing it's all done.

We leave on Christmas Day, so I can understand the impulse!

We fly out 2 weeks today (where are you all headed?, we are going to la
Rosiere)
I've got a designated shelf, where I have been stashing the occasional item. I do all the packing too, the one time I left OH to pack his contact lenses, he forgot them and couldn't see where he was effing skiing for a week
Lesson learned

We are heading to La Rosiere on Monday, although worried about lack of snow. We went there last xmas and loved it so much we booked again as soon as we got home.
