Her bags are packed, she's ready to leave

She's going on an activity holiday to the South of France on Saturday, and her excitement has become mania. So, I had to relent and let her pack on Monday night, so that I could get some peace.

The Tammy bag has her pillow for the long coach journey. The rucksack has her new sunglasses with their neoprene pink leopard sports strap, her Uno (she's a card sharp, and has been since she was five years old), her DSi and an assortment of pens and paper and magazines to keep her entertained.

Her clothes. Well, there's nothing I can tell her about fashion that she doesn't already know.

She's growing fast. This is her first year in an adult sized mummy bag.

I'm going to miss her!
