I packed all the presents i’ve bought for the people in Sweden and the ones for Simon today, and it took up half of my suitcase! I also packed a blanket i got from my parents, ziggy likes it because he normally sleeps on it, but it seems he thought we were taking a trip together.

The more i tried to get him to go away the more persistent he was that he wanted to sit on that blanket, even when i put more stuff on top of it he wanted to crawl down and find it.

just gonna make some plain pasta (don’t have anything to eat at home and i’m saving money for paris!) and then wait until simon comes over to put his stuff in my suitcase.

then we’re off to kings cross to get the eurostar to paris. i am excited beyond words.

got all my stuff packed. simon’s asked me why i’ve got 7 outfits for 5 days. doesn’t he understand that i need night-time clothes and things to go out in? plus a different jacket if it’s colder out, and a warm jacket. heels, shoes to walk in, boots.. all that jazz.

and to answer your questions, no i don’t tend to pack light..

i hate packing. i’ve got my suitcase out but im doing everything else but putting anything in it. why do i always do this? im terrible.

“paris here i come”

after dad arrived. went home to let him drop off his suitcase and whatnot. i got loooots and lots of candy, plus some nice photo frames with pictures of my mom, sister, and me

then we went for a walk. walked from mine to marylebone high street, then to oxford street, then to new bond street, to carnaby steet, then regent’s street, then piccadilly circus, then trafalgar square, then the duke of york statue, then buckingham palace, st james park, green park, mayfair, oxford street, selfridges, then back to mine!!

yeah my feet hurt.

got back, chilled. then simon came around and we went to dinner!

decided to wear something really simple today. tights and a tunic. can’t really be bothered to get dressed up when i’m not at home, too complicated to get everything into a suitcase

no matter how many times i travel. how many times ive packed. i still hate it. i hate choosing what to wear. i hate not having my whole closet with me (which often means i overpack). i think i’ve done well this time though. only two 3 pairs of heels, and a couple of flats.. haha im terrible. anyways i’m done. thank god for that.

so i guess i was feeling really positive and wanted a challenge when i picked the smallest suitcase we own to pack.. well.. i switched to another one. not a really big one, but one that’s big enough. i figured i’d save money (since i booked with ryanair you have to pay extra for checked bags) and bring a carry on, but nooo of course i forgot about the fact that you can’t bring liquids! so damn, there goes 10€ for a checked bag. stupid. let’s hope all goes well tomorrow!
