I have a shopping list started as some of what we need isn't the regular t-shirts, suncream, etc. We need 3 blue Ikea bags and a sleeping bag which are things I won't be passing and picking up in Tesco.

As our will not be a hot holiday we won't need sun creams. However other clothes have been bought as have about half a hundred weight of gifts that we are taking with us to give out to friends.

I've been buying mini toiletries to add to my holiday stash and my favourite sun cream whenever I see it going cheap on eBay. I can't wait until all the summer clothing is in the shops to add to my holiday wardrobe, it's always nice to have a few new things to wear on holiday. Oh and any cheap paperbacks I find in charity shops etc, goodness knows how I would ever manage with hand luggage only!

I haven't got any toiletries yet, but 'm going to a lovely hotel in london today for three nights, and might nick a few of the minitures they always have in their bathrooms. :)
Wont be buying any summer clothes for a while yet. Need to shift some weight first :(

Have already got some linen trousers from M&S and have another 3 pairs on order after most of mine fell to bits last year. Also got a couple of vest tops and a scarf/shawl for our trip to Egypt.

Think I'd better start looking through last years summer stuff. :yikes

I'm still on my diet... last year I managed to wear the previous year's clothing after a 3st weight loss hopefully if I lose another 2st and get to target I'll need new clothes for August.

Shopping won't start until the end of July if this is the case :cry

Yes me! Don't got till September (Cyprus), but it was only because I got a 10% discount from http://www.ifsogo.com that ran out at end of Feb lol. It's all part of the build up for me. x

We were in Egypt in January and the hotel laundry is very cheap so what we have done a couple of times now (Egypt Kenya) is get our laundry done on the last day and then pack the clean items that we will be using on our next holiday in one of those sealable air removal type bags and put it in one case and it is then all packed and ready to go for our next holiday.

So that mainly just leaves any new clothes or toiletries to get.
