To ask for your most unhinged packing lists?

Just UK this year

Or killed by smoke while struggling to escape...

Is go to the doctor instead about the OCD

Well that could cause issues depending on where you are going

I have a good friend who takes her fully blown coffee machine in her suitcase whenever she goes away on holiday or business even flying!

Same. It's rare for anyone to admit this kind of thing on MN because everyone else takes a tiny rucksack for a month with one pair of spare pants.

Always take paracetamol... I had to wait in a huge pharmacy queue to be charged £7 for a packet in Croatia last year.
Last year I went on holiday during a rheumatoid arthritis flare and I was taking Max dose paracetamol. I badly miscalculated how many I needed and had to buy gold plated Spanish ones.

@IwanttoWFH clip on sunshade sounds great, where did you get it?

Does that include the cheese sandwich I bought in the airport on the way out and didn’t eat? And the little milk sachets Ive saved from the plane for my first cuppa when I get there? Surely all they do is take it off you?

Apologies ❤️. I misread the post, l was referring to ultra long USB leads for phone charging.

I am now beginning to understand all those people dragging along suitcases the size of a small adult in to hotel receptions. You are all unhinged.

I don’t get why people WOULDNT taken an extension lead. With so many things needing charging these days, it makes perfect sense.

Guilty of extension leads but also take my own pillow case as am allergic to washing liquids with MI in and loads do have it in.

Couldn't figure out why dds case was so heavy..... she had managed to hide/stuff in her beach rock collection. She was 6. 🙄🤔🤣

Don't you need an actual full-on plug for a CPAP machine, though? Maybe you can recharge them - I'm fortunate enough never to have needed one - but would you want to risk it running out of charge overnight?

Do you mean a bolster? We had those growing up. They served as an under pillow and had two separate pillows on top.

Not raw. It was an M and S already to heat beef in gravy.

I don't think it's unhinged exactly, but I take a little rechargeable light which can be set to motion sensor mode or used like a torch. It gets used as a reading light if the bedside lamp is broken or insufficient, and then it goes in the bathroom on motion sensor overnight, so if someone gets up for a wee there is no need to turn on the bathroom light (plus noisy fan) and wake up the other person.

Well I once spent half my holiday hunting diy stores for one of those sponges to take marks off painted walls after cabin pressure made my foundation explode all over the walls and ceiling upon opening in the apartment 😅. I might take one of those as it saved my Airbnb deposit but wasn’t easy to find!
Otherwise I take a little dental filling after a memorable trip was ruined by a broken tooth and a distinct lack of emergency dentists.

No, as in one long pillow that we had to share 🤣

I have been on holidays and realised DM had been prepared for us all to go direct to DGPs house and not via home…DGF died while we were on holidays and she had to ensure 6 DGCs (from primary school to late teens), and herself/DH were respectable for the 3 days there, and she stayed on longer alone. So she had decent outfits for us all squirreled away (we were driving).

I also have to travel a lot for work and currently live away from home for work - so I always have my overnight and my bigger washbags packed and ready as I sometimes have very short notice of trips…and now have elderly DPs/ILs to consider so I have a full funeral outfit at home that DH could bring, and I have a cabin bag packed ready to drop and go (overnight gear, 1 dark outfit that could work in an emergency, and a trousers and 2 tops/jumpers depending on season for non-funeral wear, wash bag).

If driving, I bring a clothes airer. Lots of places have washing machines but absolutely no drying facilities. It drives me mad.

If it was raw beef, you are lucky not to have been stopped by customs. Raw foods and dairy cannot lawfully be imported into the EU from UK.

Yes to the mugs. Spend ages looking at tripadvisor photos to see how big the cups are, then usually pack our larger mugs. Most people post endless photos of the view etc on review sites, all I want is a photo of the tea and coffee making tray, and inside the wardrobe for hangers!

😂😂 that's amazing!

If going to an Airbnb by car, I'd always take my own pillow and maybe bedding. I've had a too many migraines from foul fabric conditioner.

I have a radar key for toilets too, has saved us a few times. I consider the occasional use (five times in three years, Inc by my mum who actually needs one) to not be excessive.

For planes I have one of these and play white noise from spotify https://www.amazon.co.uk/MUSICOZY-Headphones-Bluetooth-Ultra-Silent-Relaxation/dp/B0G8JYQY7G/ref=sr_1_7?crid=1UHQKEPFYBZ3K&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.NDUfenmImX5c4pYQmYktVNoxW3wd0xe3zoNIr3Jw1e0awFcoopg7lvCuQ-mdoho4rqgkrSy4JxBBWJgntLNFNCOoJBdFnXEmLVSVd9aO3TqfoDRpfh3Iacs3k5fEJIe40j4J3FWtQThTamd_jDxTh21ZQo12gaWi-tayaMjb282_GEcqqSIV5qxNEdH9IU7m4kQpzwHS3l_XTaUPjb44iD0zBB2p-ALSdCPH_t4UeDU.kZUTsnlXhcI4pC2o7vIoT6-GAqoNu9touHKCbEMzE0w&dib_tag=se&keywords=snoozeband&qid=1786014176&sprefix=snoozeban%2Caps%2C150&sr=8-7
