half a sleep to go............

• TO DO list done to death
• cleaned the fridge, might as well make the most of this energy surge....!
• packed, up to fully zipped stage and now we wait for the sleepy cloud to wrap around us....
• up at 3.40am for shower and a percolated.... and off we go to our 3 week culture shock adventure
• I'm feeling calm and grounded, but I suspect that might change about 7am tomorrow.....

16 Sleepz to go

After last weekends dream where I found myself and the kids on a holiday with only one jumper packed (for three of us) no passports, no phone - in other words.... total nightmare.... which I easily slipped back into after a quick wake up. It was a bit of a heart stopper.... and I must share that even in the wonderful world of dreaming, Ellen was organised!  I take this dream firstly as a wake up, but also as an positive omen that I will be fully ready and organised.  To Do lists at the ready.....

• Our tour pack is in transit and should be ready to pick up Monday
• YES, packing has started. 
• The 'keep my fav undies ready' part of the packing has began for Ellen & I.
• Keeping a sharp eye on the rising YUAN exchange rate
• Flying ear plugs packed
• on a NO shop, NO entertainment run = more spending money for our trip

Wondering if I should have spent the money on the house!!????
