Packed and ready to roll

Well that's not quite true. Little Miss Sensible is semi packed and watching X Factor!!! Which is obviously way more important than ensuring she has everything she needs ready for an early start tomorrow morning!! At least she is now part way through her packing, she has been in denial that she needs to get it done for so long I thought she was never going to get round to it!! Looking at how many boxes have already arrived in the lounge ready to be put into the car tomorrow, I'm not sure that she should finish her packing though!! There won't be enough room in the car for her and Mr Messy as it is!!! Have you seen that TV car advert where the cars explode because people try to stuff too much in them?? Well that will be happening for real at our house tomorrow!! We should have rented a removal van like the one in the picture!!!!

She still needs to work out a budget, but I think she is delegating that job to either Mr Messy or The Boyfriend!! We have just had her favourite meal for tea (bangers and mash) and Mr Messy is going to make her some of his fabulous chocolate chip muffins.

I want today to last forever, so that tomorrow won't come. But unfortunately the time is slipping by and tomorrow's goodbyes are getting closer and closer. I'm going to miss her so much - I never imagined her leaving would be this hard.

Being a mum means you never want tomorrow to come, your children to change. LMS is ready to move on and you should be proud.
With love from Wales,
