Milly Molly, have you started packing yet?
No way! I pack the night before usually.
(Hate having suitcases hanging round the house.)
But this year I think I'll have to pack the night before the night before...
The day before we go away is my Mum's birthday

so that'll be a busy day.
And then that night she is coming here to stay and look after our dog, cockatiel and parrot.
She normally looks after the dog at her house and a friend looks after the bird - we
didn't have the parrot last year.
The kids don't want the friend to look after the birds - different story/thread and so it's Ma to the rescue!
So I think it'll be a bit too manic to be packing the night before this time.
And if I get it all done on the Wednesday, we can have a nice evening with Mum
Jackie, don't you go away the same day as Darren and I?
Don't tell me you've packed????
