To say I'm nervous about this adventure would be an understatement of the century. I'm terrified! But I'm not exactly sure why, because I know I will enjoy the job, I've done housekeeping, reception work before, yes my waitressing skills leave a lot to be desired but I can improve those with some effort.
So yesterday, a cold windy Sunday and only a week before I leave. I thought it may be a good idea to actually try some packing. I had managed to put everything in the spare room that I thought I would need. Some things had already gone in the handy vacuum pack bags I bought specially for the occasion. But after cramming, 2 ski jackets, 2 salopettes (ski trousers), thermals, socks, and then normal clothes, my bag was crammed full with no room for essentials such as underwear, make up and hair dryer etc.
I was nearly in tears! This called for some scaling down. I try not to pack the kitchen sink, but I like to be prepared for any emergency that may come may way! It took about half an hour of pulling my clothes out and trying them on to see what would go with what to whittle down what i needed. Plus a different way of packing..... Lying everything long and flat instead of rolled up! It worked, but still no underwear, jumpers etc packed yet! I think I'm hoping for some kind of divine intervention.
I'm going all the way to Plymouth on Wednesday just to buy some new makeup to take with me. Some actual good quality makeup that should last 5 months. So wish me luck on that expedition!
Right better get on with doing some work!
