Reading your pre trippie is like reading my diary for the next week!

I also planning a weekend of packing! I have a hair appointment on Sat morning (also going for a big chop - having my fringe cut back in, after spending months growing it out) then I have an afternoon of Beauty treatments. Pedicure, waxing etc ect

The next 7 days will fly by so quickly! The weather is looking nice for whilst we are ther but I know that can change daily!

Enjoy your last week of planning and prep! X

Eeeek! Not long to go now! I had my fringe cut back in too and had some layers put back in. It hadn't been cut in about 6 months and was such a mess. Looks and feels so much better now, only trouble is I have to straighten it every day now otherwise I look like I have a birds next on my head! I'll leave the waxing to you. I think I would rather go through childbirth than have my legs waxed again after the last time Lol.

The weather has been really cold over there the past few days but will be picking up and getting warmer again from today which is good! I have two friends who are over there now and have been filling me in. Anything's got to be better than the uk weather though!

How lovely of your Mum to have the kids so you can get your packing done.

I'm sure a little bribery is allowed to have some peace to watch a film!

It's getting so close now, eek! x

It really was an expensive update! Lol. We just picked the kids up last night and got all the packing finished. It's starting to feel real now!

One more sleep! I can't believe it!

The past few days has been a whirlwind. My market night was thankfully a sell out so we got our spends sorted. Phew. The kids stayed at Nanny and Grandad's over the weekend so we could pack in secret! I got everything done minus a few bits I need to purchase tonight when Paul gets home from work. It's his last shift today. He will be taking Jacob down to his friend from work's house later today who will be looking after him while we're away and I've managed to get him a last minute appointment at the dog groomers this morning so he's smelling fresh for them!

I have the mammoth task of cleaning the house from top to floor today with the aid of Amelia. Oliver is back at school today but she has a teacher training day. I am sitting here now listening to our Bonvoyagee on the DibbCast with my headphones in so she can't hear it! It's really brought it home to me and suddenly feels real! Eeek!


It's Sarah's birthday today which we will be celebrating in Florida. I got her a Disney $10 dollar bill which is a 2009 issue - the year of her birth

I received this email over the weekend..

I can't believe how quickly the time has flown after booking at 443 days! I am so excited I think I might explode!

So the next stage of our plans are as follows:

1) Clean the house
2) Clean guinea pigs out
3)Pack last minute bits
4)Take Jacob to Paul's friends
5) One last sleep
6)Drop kids at school
7) Set up camera in the living room ready for the reveal
8) Charge up devices
9) Online check in
10)Set up stuff for the cats for our neighbour to feed them
11) Collect kids from school
12) DO REVEAL!
13) Have lunch
14) GO TO GATWICK!
15) Do Twilight check in
16) Meet sam and Daniel
17) Have dinner at Wetherspoons Beehive and watch the planes coming in.

EEEEEEEEEKKK! I think i'm going to explode with excitement!

I will be uploading photos to instagram, twitter and facebook if anyone would like to follow our trip. The links are under my avatar. My instagram name is @aimiesugarplum.

I think the next time you will hear from me is when we're at the airport

Check out my countdown!
