ARGGGGH!
I flippin hate packing. In 5 hours I need to get on a bus to stansted airport, and I've got so much stuff to do..... bath, hair removal, pack clothes, find passport. Print bus tickets. Who knows what else. Why on earth can't I be more organised?

Please b3tans, keep me feeling sane with your pre-holiday tales?

1st: Find passport.
In a pinch you can skip everything else, but that's the important one. Then print the bus tickets - the last minute is no time to find out TONER LOW.

Then bath+hair removal - while doing that, decide what to wear to travel. It should be loose fitting and comfortable, and ideally should be something you can also wear while there to cut down on packing. Then pack the rest of your stuff.

Done. Now stop reading B3ta and go do stuff.

I'd just sit down, relax for a bit
slip off your shoes, maybe watch a film...

The Flight of the Phoenix, Airplane, Airspeed or maybe even Crash Landing: The Rescue of Flight 232.

HTH... ;-)

I pack at least a week early.
I'm so organized I scare myself.
