Packing for small children is so tricky. I find you either have far too many outfits because they are miraculously clean for the holiday, or not enough because they are horribly ill and get through 50 outfits a day. We had to get laundry done for a weekend away last time 🙄😅
Yup! Last time we were on holiday Max went through a minimum of two outfits per day because he kept making such a mess: yesterday he somehow remained spotless 🙈
I was nodding and chuckling all the way through your holiday 'checklist' and I remember having the exact same queries - which is why I don't miss any kind of break away and haven't had one for at least 15 years. I hated them in all honesty and only suffered them because it seemed to be what 'normal people' did and I was all about appearing as normal as possible pre-auDHD diagnosis. Now I feel able to say out loud I HATE BEING AWAY FROM HOME. Also having my nails done. Hated it. Only ever did it twice maybe. From having to sit opposite a person with their face too close to mine, to having a conversation about topics I had no interest in, to then needing to not 'do' anything for at least an hour afterwards. What a stupid invention. And I would've definitely lost one if I'd taken them on a holiday I hadn't have wanted to begin with. I'd have lost it in the pool I was too scared to go into and buggered up the filtration system and ruined everyone else's holidays.
Gosh, what negative experiences you’ve had. I love my holidays and don’t have to wait an hour to do anything after having my nails done, so hopefully it’ll all be fine…
yes, the 'waiting' was pre-gel days - I'm SO old! and I do envy others being adventurous and jetting off to far-flung places without worrying needlessly; it must be wonderful.
Ooh, my sister gave me How to Kill Your Family for Christmas (bit awkward!). It took me a bit of time to get into it, and I was never quite sure how I felt about the MC but it gets really gripping!
Oh, that’s good to know! I tried to start it back when I got it, but was finding it quite hard to get into, too, so looking forward to getting into it!

Have fun! (translates to: 'rather you than me')
