It has been 2 weeks since I got the email that I had been waiting for. The one that told me that my flights had been booked, where I was flying from and at what time. I was just getting up on a Sunday morning, and as normal, I checked my phone and there in my inbox was the flight details.I went a bit quiet. And then thought - looks like I am actually going then!
So the countdown is finally on. It is now 73 days to go and my packing boxes arrived today...all 35 of them!! I am sure that I do not need 35 boxes, but it was a good deal, just £26 and cheaper deals didn't offer a range of sizes. I now have boxes, packing tape, marker pens, bubble wrap, packing paper, bin liners and a deadline to get it done by!!
I would love to say that I have loads of time to get this done. Technically I do - the full boxes are not being collected until 2nd July, but I am busy for the next 2 weekends as it is my birthday on Friday and have people coming over. The weekend after it is my Auntie and Uncle's 60th Wedding anniversary so I will be away in Kent for the weekend. This only leaves me the weekday evenings. I have dinner out Friday night, pub with my new housemate tomorrow night, theatre with school tonight, parent's evening one night the following week and I still think that I need to go shopping to buy 'stuff'. I am not sure what 'stuff' I need to buy but I am certain that I need it, whatever it might be. It might be more clothes (I don't need any more swim suits as I now have 7 new ones, plus the ones that I already owned - overkill I know but I am planning on being by the pool everyday!). It might be shampoo and conditioner that I feel that I cannot live without and might not be able to find in Qatar. It might be Marmite. I am not sure but I can feel some panic buying coming on - and that is why I have not been to Asda in a week and I have avoided the Bull Ring at all costs!
