TIME TO GET MY BUTT INTO GEAR

For months now I've been mentally preparing for my trip to take Dave back to his family in England. Suddenly there's only a few days to go and yep you guessed it - I'm nowhere near ready.

I've resorted to a 'to do' list - something I vowed I wouldn't need. I reckon I'll get everything done - gardens seen to, housework all up to date, everything I'll need packed, bills all paid, Dave's memorial DVD finished, Buddy comfortable with staying with Mum, Mum comfortable with having Buddy etc, etc, etc.

I'm really glad I'm not working. I reckon I will have been a basket case by now if I had been. Instead I'm starting to get excited about it all.

Tonight's plan is to do some more work on the DVD - interupted by Buddy's constant demands for attention. Why is it he can sleep through the day just to pester me when I need to concentrate????

Tomorrows plans include lunch with the family, followed by a drive to Levin with Buddy to visit CHH (where I used to work)to collect the duty free orders from my workmates and then coffee later with my two good friends Diane and Jocelyn.

This will most likely be the last time I'll get free to socialise until Saturday so I'm determined to get the best out of it.

On with the work.............

Hi Chris
Looks like you are almost under way.
Just managed to get linked up sufficiently to place a comment. How many months is that. It must run in the family, being prepared well before the event. Oh yes!!!
Remember to allow time to place some comments and photos while you are away - was that the reason for the blog initially anyway.
Hope you have a lovely trip, be thinking of you. Lots of Love.

I miss that place sometimes..... only sometimes ;)
HAVE FUN!!!
