So here's the latest:

We've had all our injections, and we have to start taking Malaria tablets a couple of days before we go (they cost £103!). All visas are sorted too, which is happy days!!

Got a busy few days coming up. Had leaving do part one last night, part two on Saturday, then the Irish boys are coming over on Sunday for a big one in Manchester!! My liver hurts already.

Really need to start packing stuff up to move out next week. Got a van for Monday and Tuesday (thanks to Mick and Dougie). Wednesday we are taking Matt's car down to Colchester, with his very heavy TV inside, then back up to Sheffield via Dave's parents' to drop stuff off there too.

1 week to go, and counting....
