The joys of shopping and packing.

Hello, if you've found your way here then you must want to know how I'm getting on with the packing, and I'd be delighted to inform you.

I have got most of the clothes (t-shirts, trousers, shoes etc.) that will be going with me to the US. However I don't exactly have anything to put them in yet. *Insert gasps of horror here* don't worry I had a cheeky look around the market in Derby today, so that's that pretty much sorted! Then it's just like; a torch, hayfever tablets, toiletries, a new razor and knee support bandage things, so essentially 15 minutes in ASDA and I'm all sorted.

Packing should not prove a problem as I have piled all my clothes in a corner of my room so it's just a matter of shoving delicately placing them into the vessel which is yet to be purchased. Sorting out what kind of dollars that would be needed today, so that's that in the 'not to worry about' section now.

I have my laptop and have installed the important programs that NEED to be on it, Skype, Anti-Virus software, Google chrome and the like and of course the most important Football Manager 2012, with my Derby County save lovingly transferred. Please let me know if you think I need to put anything else on!

The nervous excitement that you get before going to a new school, or place to live is starting to settle in now, but I'm feeling better and better about it. It helps that the people that are going to my camp seem lovely and eager to help.

This time next week I shall be about half way through my flight to the US. Let the countdown begin.

7 Days.
