On holiday tomorrow - What last minute things do you do before going away?

Thank you so much - I am looking forward to the break believe me, not much sun around but a different town a different beach, lots of fresh air and can't do Silverstone just yet but will do a bit of jet skiing if I get the chance! Ellie :D

I didn't expect you to comment. I shall have to leave another one welcoming you back now. LOL. Personally I always check the doors and plugs before leaving and then worry for the next 100 miles that I've left the iron on. I reckon that by the time that I have gone that far the house will have burnt down and I don't need to worry any more!! Have a fantastic time. Jet skiing I read somewhere. Take it easy. Mind you, it's been a long time since there was a female F1 driver. Get in some practice and who knows?!@!

Hi Shelly, Oh yes the charger is very important and the most forgotten item for a lot of people, my younger daughter being so bad she keeps spares at others houses LOL. Oh yes mother was right you must have clean underwear, you never know LOL. Ellie :D

Hi I'm back. Had a lovely time thank you. Wow thats a long time between breaks away. The only reason I managed it was by collecting tokens from a newspaper and got the holiday for £101 ($200) between four of us so only worked out at £25 each so too good a chance to miss else I would be home like you too. Lets hope some good fortune blesses you and you are able to get a good holiday soon. Ellie :D

Hi Steph, That pretty much covers everything really. I always check and recheck though just in case I have forgotten something. I don't have to worry about the mail as the friend watching the house will pick that up each day when they feed the pets for me. Ellie :D

My best friend is a horselover and she never gets to go away other than to horsetrials either. I very rarely go away myself but managed to get a really good deal and thought I'd take my son to a holiday camp as its school holidays here. Ellie :D

Hi Littleowl, Timing obviously wasn't right this time eh! I had a wonderful break thanks and you live in a very beautiful part of the country. Weather was good, bit windy but sun was shining which was the main thing. I hope you enjoyed having lots of fun with your darling grandson. Maybe next time eh! Ellie :D

Hi, You have reminded me that I need to charge my camera ready, thank you, its sat on my computer desk but I hadn't done it so thank you. Three whole days, boy that is organized well done you, I still have the toiletries to put in but was still finishing packing as I posted. I am lucky in that a friend will be in everyday to look after my animals so they will also sort the mail so I don't have that worry or the timer issue really because I am not overlooked and have special blindds so that even when I am at home a feint glow shows through so I will leave just one light on. Thanks for sharing. Ellie :D

Oh I have already packed too all except the toiletries and last minute bits. I am lucky as I have a friend looking after my animals for me so they will pic up my post for me too and put inside for me. Thanks I intend to have a wonderful time and need a break right now so the timing is perfect. Ellie :D
