In exactly
one week we will be on holiday! Now
normally by this point pre holiday I would in the mist of preparations, most of
which would be list making. Lists of things to buy, lists of things to pack,
lists of jobs to do before we went, lists of lists!! This year however I have a
much more ‘laissez faire’ attitude to the whole thing, so much so that I don’t have a single list.
I’m not
complete why I have had this change of attitude. It will be my first holiday
without the ex, but we are going ‘on mass’ with the rest of my family, so we
will be far from alone. We also aren’t going far which helps. Or it could be
that last time we went away CJ was 6 days old so I think if I can do that I can
do anything
The holiday
has crept up on me a bit and I still have a busy week ahead. Birthday
celebrations for my god son, welcoming my brother, sister-in-law and niece home
form Papua New Guinea plus having them stay for two nights, a parents meeting at
IK’s new school, the hairdressers, a manicure and all the normal nursery, play
groups, swimming lesson things all need to be fitted in before I even think
about the holiday.
However as the
girls and I are often on our travels, I’m quite used to packing us up for trips
of various lengths, so I’m not really phased by the prospect of what needs
doing. The master plan is just to shove a load of clothes, that could cover
every weather eventuality (well we are holidaying in the UK
I also need
to sort out the photos on the camera because I think the memory card is full,
it is CJs birthday whilst we are away so I need to wrap her presents, as we are
going self catering there is food that needs to be bought and I like to leave
the house clean and tidy so that needs to be fitted in. And, despite the fact
that I booked it, I’m not 100% sure where it is we are going, so as I will be
driving there I really need to get some directions!
OK so there
is quite a lot to be done, maybe I should start a list…..
