We're going abroad on Friday and I'm in the process of packing. I've this feeling I've forgotten something already!

What do you always forget?

As long as you pack everything that would be difficult to replace abroad I wouldn't sweat it..
But in answer to your question - nail clippers.
DD managed to forget to pack socks on our most recent holiday.

Nail clippers! I actually thought of these, then decided just to trim DDs nails before we go.
Socks is a good one Grin. One year, on a trip to the Lakes in winter, I forgot to pack a coat for me and DD. It always seems to be something really obvious I leave behind!

Insect repellant/bite stuff. The times I’ve trailed around far flung pharmacies….
