Started packing today, I seem to have filled the case and yet I've not nearly put everything in it. Why do I always do that? The trouble is having been brought up as a good Girl Guide I take the "always be prepared" motto a bit too literally at times and have a tendancy to pack everything except the sky plus box.
I heard someone once say that you should pack everything you need then take half of it out again. Probably not a bad policy...well assuming you take half your skirts and half your tops etc and don't take out all your undies and leave in all your shoes.
I always say that packing and wrapping presents are the two things that take as long as you have to do them. So if you only have 20 mins to do it then you'll do it in that time but if you have three weeks it will take the full 3 weeks. Of course on shows like Neighbours the rules of packing are different again. You must bring your suitcase into the front room and pack several weeks before you leave...unless of course you decide to leave town in which case you'll simply declare you're leaving in an hour and we shall never see you pack at all - in fact you're worldy possessions will almost certainly fit into one backpack. Clearly they were never a Girl Guide!
