 Getting
Ready:
The last few days before your holiday are always the most stressful.
The children always wear the clothes you wish to pack, so you have to
wash them again and the man in your life...
.. well how long have you got!
However over the years we have found ways to make
life a little bit easier (see the panel opposite).
Last Minute Tips:
Pack the car two days before you
leave so that on the last day you can relax more! If you are
leaving early, adjust your body clock during the
preceding week so that you have a chance of sleeping the night before!
If you are really busy
on the last day, get a takeaway or plan to have something ready
made in the freezer. |

Making life easier!
Start with a
packing list....
never throw this away - keep it for next year! Start packing at
least a week before the holiday. Older children can help get their
clothes ready, but insist that you pack them to ensure that they have
chosen sensibly! If you're travelling by car, use average sized
bags/suitcases, as they are easier to pack tightly.
Make a list
for your day of travel remember soft toys (!), passports, tickets,
money... in fact anything essential that you don't want to put in the
car overnight.
Finally make a list of last minute food - your picnic
and plenty of drinks, including water bottles for the car and flasks of
tea and coffee, plus any baking you have prepared to take with you.
