the day before tomorrow

M: So, it's the day before we fly (19.10) and it doesn't really feel real just yet. It doesn't even really feel like we're even going on holiday and i keep expecting us to wake up and realise we've overslept for work!

We spent most of today in town wandering round the shops with Erik, Ellen, Alex and John and met up with Jenny before heading home to have homemade pizza with Mum! Ad, Rose, Blanch and C came round and we played Wii Fit for a couple of hours before a tear free goodbye.

Mum surprised us with a beautiful travel journal (which I promise I'll keep up to date!) and some Swedish Kronor just after they all left and a few tears were shed by all!

Anyway, we're watching Sex & the City and will probably hit the cake (the comfiest bed in the world FYI!) soon for some sleep before our final day in Gatley!

Tomorrow should be pretty chilled out, starting with a trademark B text in the morning ("holla....") and a dog walk with Zac.

Me and Ida will probably spend the rest of the day double checking our cases and listening to our ipods before Aunty Carole picks us up and takes us to the airport with Mum around 4.30pm.


Things Mark will miss (in no particular order!):

1) The Gatley crew
2) My family
3) Mr Zac
4) Fopp
5) My CDs and DVDs


I: The stress is on! I'm not too sure where anything is! Stress! Must remember to do loads of things! Huh! Luckily we have sent 3 boxes with shoes and clothes and some random stuff, that will wait for us on the other side haha. I'm kinda worried about the possibilites of overweight tomo at check in....Linda will be on stand by to take stuff off us if needs be. Hopefully it won't be necessary since everything in my suitcase is VERY important!!

I need to update my ipod tomo before we set off, need to work out what to put on,..hmm probably Cohen,Springsteen and Dolly, something for every occasion..right?
The plane outfit has already been planned: Jeggings and grey sweatshirt and leather jacket with tassels...was thinking about wearing loads of stuff to make room for more stuff in my suitcase but ney.

We were meant to watch house tonight, but something went wrong when it was recorded yesterday, so we can't...gutted!!! Can't get enough of lupus and steroids!! We resorted to some good old SATC followed by Never Been Kissed (btw seemd like a great film in 1999 not so much in 2009, eventhough Barrymore is one of my new/old girl crushes at mo,its something about her hair haha). Should really go to bed now....yep.


Things Ida will miss (excluding people duh!)

1) Prawn cocktail crisps
2) Staff discount in Selfridges
3) My furs (safely tucked away in a wardrobe though)
4) My Leonard Cohen CDs


SEE YOU IN SWEDEN...if not tomorrow daytime before we fly!
