Holidays

I am pathetic and never pack till the very last minute and get in Big Panic and Thoroughly Bad Mood. Last year we were going on a cruise (big packing) and was packing from 12 till 2 a.m. (after big work function that I had to organise). Our train left at 8.30 a.m. I survived by just drinking Red Bull and espresso at the party. Us nearly missing the ship is another - very long - story. We fly to Gatwick p.m. on Wed 28th to go on holiday for New Year the next day. You can guarantee I will be packing that afternoon - shouting and screaming and having hissy fits with the family either hiding or laughing. The joys of holidays! Also want to manage to get a tan by then (hollow laugh) had planned a few sun beds but hasn't happened yet. Plus a bikini wax! Ouch! Manicure and pedicure can def. wait till we get there.
