4 days and counting

It's all getting very real and close now - the first malaria tablets were taken just a few hours ago, so far so good....but don't want to speak too soon! The suitcases are out and slowly being filled with useful things like mosquito nets, sleeping bag liners, sterile needles and inflatable pillows. Despite having borrowed the hugest suitcase in the world, I think it will require some very dull brain numbing organisation to fit everything I'll need for 39 days into a space that's smaller than my smallest drawer in my bedroom. I might even develop some will power to help keep me from packing 'useful things' such as cuddly toys, 7 bikinis and at least 15 pairs of shoes - you never know when in-line roller boots will come in handy do you now??!

As you can tell dear reader, I am obviously incredibly busy packing at this very moment and have most definitely not got bored and distracted by any other tasks..... although saying that - I have made a delicious carrot and chive soup this week, bought a lovely new ball dress, been responisble for the loss of the lives of thousands and thousands of lemmings (why do they follow one another to the death with their crazy green hair?) to name but a few of the 'important' tasks that have occupied my precious time off work.

Eeeek! Now I read that back to myself I begining to panic, so might toddle off and actually start doing something useful before it's too late - then again I was so close to completing that last level on lemmings, just one more try can't hurt....can it?
