Update

Been doing some packing! It was a bank holiday weekend just gone in the UK so Jo helped me get our Florida gear out so I could sort it out whilst she is at work. I do all the packing organisation as in lists, medications, clothes, book the vacation, the flights etc. When I have got it all together she does the packing for us. She selected the clothes she wanted to take for the cruise ( Palo brunch! ) and the parks etc.

I ordered some lovely ribbon to put on our bags here is one piece on my beloved AK backpack I love...

The ribbon says 'The Sedley-Burke' Family and has a cute Mickey emblem on. I got a reem of ribbon and it's printed multiple times so we can just cut it to size for each bag and suitcase.

Here is my 'FE' box with all the FE gifts in ready to pack.

Next the horror of doing all my medication! That needs a bag to itself lol!

You are much better than me, I never start packing early. I like the ribbon how many days until your trip?

No updates today. Had my infusion treatment at hospital this week and it takes me a few days to recover. In the meantime here a picture of what I have been doing .....


I am an AFOL (adult fan of lego) I got this cute 'fall scene' in the lego store at the weekend which I built today whilst I rest ( I think that's Jo with the ponytail and the broom lol )

 

[Pinkocto]

Have you seen the preview for the Lego movie?

14 days to go! Excitement isn't the word! Problem is my next infusion that delivers my 5 weekly drug is due when we are away eekkk! This isn't poor planning on my part it's that I had an infection and had to miss a few weeks so the medication dates got moved. But kind nurses at infusion clinic have suggested I get an intramuscular shot of depomedrone ( whatever that is ) before I go to tide me over so am having that on the Monday before we leave they didn't like the idea of me not enjoying my holiday in pain. How kind.

So I am pleased about that! Also booked an extra seat on the flight back so Jo and I can have three seats for the two of us not bad for only another 60 pounds ( about 90 dollars ) . Good old Virgin Atlantic! I can put my legs up!

So today to bide my time I dusted my precious tea china ( because that's what British folk do lol )

Then I was delighted to find out a friend had kindly brought back a cereal I love from America on her vacation for me to chomp for the next two weeks to give me energy for the parks

Omg I thought Lucky charms were nice. But I fell in love with these little rings of heaven during our stay in May. We have cheerios here but not fruit ones! I called the Prime Minister immediately on my return to demand reasons but for some reason he would not take my call...

So nearly the weekend! More packing and organisation!

Very cool! That will make it easier to meet up! We have an 8:45 dinner reservation at V&As and plan to come back to the room after spending some time in MK, so we should be around the resort in the afternoon/evening.
