What to pack??

[PinkFizz]

I guess Im like most women - I always overpack for my holiday and take way too much stuff - just incase I need it,which I never do! Im determined to pack the minimum this time and so what would you all pack therefore,for a 2 week holiday in Southern France in August??

[redcrx]

dont ask me, I need a large suitcase for 2 days away! And i still forget the things i really want to take. lol
Ive never been one for a capsule wardrobe

[Lore]

Oh you need Wardy's advice on this - I've seen the master at work!

As for me, I take everything.. well, you never know!!

[larkin]

Does this mean you got the passport saga sorted PinkFizz. If so, don't forget to pack that !
Most importantly - bikini, sarong and corkscrew !

[Lore]

no no no noooooo most important thing.....

Hair straighteners!!

gah, priorities larkin, priorities!!!

[PinkFizz]

lol - I know what you all mean - but I always come home and I haven't worn half of it!! I end wearing the same few bits!

Hi Larkin - we have had an email hinting that the passport 'may' be with child when we pick her up tomorrow - grrrr.We havent risen to the bait by replying as she is only doing all this to get our backs up.So hopefully it will be there - if not then we will try and ring the port and see what they say.

[PinkFizz]

oh god yes,the hairstraightners - otherwise I will look like a poodle after swimming!!

[larkin]

Sorry Lore - I thought hair straighteners went without saying !
Good luck Pink - hope it all works out ok. Have a fab time - we going on 24th and can't wait !!

[PinkFizz]

where are you going larkin?

[Lore]

Oh, I'll let you off then :oP

[larkin]

France too but further north than you by sounds
My sis has a house there and she is taking my 2 children next week . We are joining them on 24th. I will be lost without my babes :-(

Oh god 2 weeks! I wouldnt know what to pack. I'm a minimalist festival girl so I've got getting everything for a 5 day holiday into a backpack down to a t.

[~posy~]

aarrggghh!! i wouldn't have a clue!! i always pack for every situation that may arise, and i pack spare clothes just incase we need them! we take a big suitcase just far a weekend away!! lol!!
right... how about a couple of evening outfits, couple of daytime outfits, bikinis, make up and hair straighteners. make sure all clothes mix and match and take washing powder!! is that any good??

[PinkFizz]

lol 4getmenot! You will need to do a lot of clever folding then!!

Larkin - oh you lucky thing.We are going to Montignac-le coq which is in the Charente region.

[PinkFizz]

well Ive bought 2 sarongs - vital for girlies! And 2 bikinis.And flipflops! ummmmm........ will that do??

[4getmenot]

Well lets hope you dont have a holiday like I had when I last went abroad. Packed brilliantly then when I got to Rhodes my suitcase had been left in Manchester !! Was without for 3 days!!

[larkin]

Yep see my first answer - only the cork screw (and the hair straighteners, obviously ) to go !

[PinkFizz]

oh no - Ive never had the misfortune of having my suitcase get lost - think I would go mental!
