Packing

I have so much shit. I have to sort the shit 3 ways.

- Stuff I'm taking to Broome.
- Stuff I'm not taking to Broome.

From these two piles the 3rd can be made.

- Stuff that may or may not be coming to Broome with me but that I still want here with me until just before I leave.

At the moment I have discovered China and the U.S.S.R. on my map of the world desk and thrown out a heap of useless papers, and found a bank statement from July-September that I hadn't even opened.

My bed is currently invisible and covered in crap.
I have 2 suitcases full of clothes and stuff and a bag with shoes in it. And a half full box.

There is no room to maneuvere in here. I also have to take into account that I what I take to Broome will need to come back.

About 2 weeks to go.

*freaks*

Yeah but I don't want to buy something like furniture up there if I have perfectly good furniture here to take up.

I'm trying not to.

It's just deciding what I really need and what I don't.

I'm a chronic hoarder.

Friday is semi-going party for me at KK's. Nancy is coming!! (Sorry, you don't know Nancy, or at least I don't think you do...)

When do you leave?! I didn't realise it was so soon.

Here's to new lives far away from everyone else. :)

I leave in the morning on Australia day! Hurrah! Nup, don't know Nancy.

Yup, to new lives far away from everyone else. And then coming back afterwards and *bugging* everyone else.
