I Hate Holiday Packing

Do I know what to pack – that answer is never
Depends on my mood and also the weather

Two pairs of jeans and three summer dresses
A new skort but I won’t wear it she confesses 

Nightdress and socks and four t shirt tops
If I run out of clothes I’ll go to the shops

Sandals and shoes and my trusty old slippers
Mustn’t forget to take my new pairs of knickers

Wash bag and toothbrush and cream for my face
Gosh I’m surprised there was room in my case

I hate packing! Oh I always just say screw it and buy what I need when I get there. Just remember it never all fits right once you take it back out again

Oh I found that Casarah i bought two big boxes of biscuits as presents - struggled to get everything back in the case - amazing how many 'bits' you accumulate in a few short days LOL - I always over pack and don't wear half of what I've taken LOL. Hugs Jan xxx
