to be almost packed 2 weeks before we go?!

We go on holiday in 2 weeks time, first time abroad with our almost 3 year old twins, and I am already about 60% packed!! I started yesterday on our checked bag and mine and the girls' hand luggage (they are only having small rucksacks to hold snacks and airport/flight entertainment). I set up my packing list on a spreadsheet months ago!!

i do this every time we go away. I guess it makes me feel organised and unrushed but also gets me excited for the holiday but otherwise I don't know why I do it as i know it sounds crazy!! in contrast, my husband throws his stuff in a bag the night before!!

Please tell me I'm not the only person who's so ridiculously fastidious about packing for a holiday?!!!

I have a list on my iPad and start to get things together about 48 hours before departure.

2 weeks is way too early for me. My clothes wouldn't feel fresh after having them sat in a suitcase for 2 weeks.
