Trail of Destruction

...caused by over excited skiing tornado ripping through the back room...this was clear and tidy on the weekend...but has been devasted by me needing to try on all my ski clothes...(and boots and skis for effect)!

Have enough cold weather gear here to go for at least three weeks without washing anything...but only going away for a week :(...

Very ungrateful thing of me to say really...I shouldn't be sad I've got to come back, before I've even gone, I should be pleased I'm having a holiday!

Very excited about it...though as any upheaval to my daily routine manages...I am totally freaking out...hence the mess...just worried I might forget something, and worried about the cats...not too worried about the actual holiday as been there quite a few times before, so know where places are...that's my girl...spirit of adventure and all that ;)

Current panic over which clothes to take...do not need all three weeks worth...every time I go for a week, I plan to reap the benefits of not having an excessively heavy bag, filled with clothes I take every year, then don't wear, and have to wash when I get back, as invariably they have faced the rath of the Gatwick and Geneva baggage handlers dragging them through the melting snow; saturating the bag and clothes inside.

Ok calm down. Still 3 days to go...and so much to do...right, I'll go and make a list on the whiteboard in the hallway.

Kendal mint cake? check. Strange purple hat? check. Mittens, Gloves, and spare pair of gloves? check. Marbles? I'm sure I saw them somewhere...try under that jumper...
