Dear Neil, please comply.
Karen, I'm surprised you aren't packed for the BOB yet.
You and I are too much alike though. I already have my cruise drawer started with all the junk I bring along. I'm planning on sifting through that now that the luggage restraints are in place.
Phew! - christmas is out of the loft
It took about 1 1/2 hours to pass all the boxes down
Some of them went straight back up once I'd been through them as we're only doing half our usual christmas decs this year.
As for packing for Bob - I have a few things gathered

, my gift tags are part made and I'm sorting my itinary already

My flights are booked

, my villa is booked

and I have a list of restaurants I want to eat in that we cant fit in at christmas

...... so yes, I guess you could call me organised
Its a shame you have to pay for your first bag now too. We still get a good allowance with Virgin (2 x 23kg bags each) but its not easy to limit me

... I learned my mistake last year with the tag gifts - they'll be small and packable this year

and I WONT pre-assemble them as it took up twice the space
I'm itching to get decorating
Nancy - did you get your tree up yet? Or watch our favourite movie?
I'll wait for Neil to go to work on Monday before I start putting christmas up.
I now have the p.c. room full of suitcases and the 4th bedroom full of christmas

...aka our house is a right mess
