The epic pack

Welcome to my new blog! I decided to start this blog to record what is bound to be an unforgettable adventure into the blisteringly hot metropolis that is Backwell, a little splodge of civilisation just outside Bristol, UK. 

When I said hot, I really meant to say that my toes are probably going to fall off from hypothermia. 

I'm going to be working as a live-in au pair for two doctors and their kids, aged 2 and 4. Luckily they are providing me with board and lodgings, so I only really need to bring clothes.

I'm leaving in 5 days, but given my slight OCD tendencies, it's normal that I started packing today. 

I may have a slight problem




What you see in there is only about half the things I need to take with me. Given that I have clearly run out of space, I'm going to store the rest of my things (3 pairs of shoes, 1 beauty case, all my scarves) in my mouth.


I considered other orifices too, but decided that might look a little odd and my parents probably wouldn't want to wave me off at the airport with a hair straightener sticking out of my...ear.

Time to put on some pants and go watch Sherlock Holmes 2. My boyfriend (to sound trendier, I will in future refer to him as The Boyf) thinks it will be average. I have higher hopes. And rumour has it Stephen Fry will appear naked in this movie! I'm not sure how I feel about that - either awestruck or nauseous.

Merry I'm-Still-Full-From-Christmas-Lunch Day!

  1. what about sending your shoes and other stuff in a pack by the post? anyway, if you choose the orificies way don't forget that you can't have both mouth and nose full u.u
    you're surely trendier for having used "boyfriend" u.u =P
    can't wait to see you in europe!! =)

  2. Sending stuff by post is reeeally expensive, sadly. Good point about the mouth and nose!

    My current tactic is as follows: Take my heavy winter jacket. Stuff its pockets full of other things like shoes. Carry the jacket by hand. No one will weigh it. AHA :D

    See you next week! :D

  3. Check that bag! Never mind your toes; I hope your bountiful chest-lumps don't fall off!
