One week tomorrow and we'll be well on our way!

I've not got anything ready yet! Not sorted out my Euro's, not thought about what I'm taking, not cleaned the car (for stickering) Nothing! I really need to get my act together! This weekend is the last weekend and I'm not going to be able to do anything, football to watch, beer to drink, wedding to attend (not mine!) etc.....

Don't worry, i'll start thinking about what to take Wednesday after work, and before we leave at 10.30... All i could do so far is make the car stand out!

Tons & tons to do ... beginning to panic, if the truth be known.
TT Races on over here at the mo, so pleasantly sidetracked.

Come saturday, the arms will be going like bees wings.

How many of you have said "next year i'm gonna get organised" ?

Yep, it's suddenly crept up on me, and I've still got lots to sort out. At least I now have European breakdown cover (thanks to being bored during a conference call at work today) and the car is being serviced this week.

Apart from that, some Euros somewhere (put them in a 'safe' place and now can't find them), tent is in the loft, european map must be somewhere, can't find the reference for the train etc etc.

Oh well, I don't care. I'm incredibly excited and can't wait until Thursday, in spite of knowing that I have to get up at an ungodly hour for the 7:30am chunnel.
