Starting to get nervous!
We’re nearly at a month to go and everything seems to be approaching so quick, we’re still trying to get all the little things done such as cancelling various direct debits, the car insurance, mobile phones and all the other day to day expenses you don’t notice coming out of your bank – but we’re nearly there.
Emma and I are still awaiting the return of our passports which we sent off just over a week ago now, would of been sooner but our banks couldn’t get our statements to us for some reason (out of 4 posted, I received 1!). We said we needed them by the beginning of November though, so a little while left.
Work is driving me a bit crazy at the moment, thought things would ease up the closer to my leaving date, but with new projects coming in quicker than we can handle them I feel sorry for the people I will leave behind – ‘specially James, he’s in for a rough ride if they don’t get someone in and quick. I’ll try and get all my crap finished up though, I’m not one to leave stuff unfinished.Â
Went and got Russells backpack from Emmas house the other day, so it is now officially ‘My Backpack and I’! Going to try and work out where everything is going to go now – Pants at the bottom as they’ll be the slowest thing to come out the bag, I got a tip the other day that to save on washing you follow a four prong approach: Wear them once, turn them inside out and wear them again, turn them around (bums at the front!) wear them again and then once more with the inside out! Sounds a good tactic apart from the fact we are going to Thailand first and I imagine that my belly won’t hold up too well there!
Right, gonna stop writing now, else I’ll waffle on forever – I only logged on so that I could set Lucy an account up! Hope this doesn’t happen every time!
