... 4 x tubs of ibuprofen ...


I'm sure you already know, but I found out yesterday that if I have a Boots card, their Ibuprofen are permanently 1/2 price. Given the headaches, injuries I seem to get with increasing regularity, it'll save me a few bob in the future

No good to me, not allowed to take Brufen based stuff.

     RTFM

Empty suitcase
Buy cosmetics/perfume in duty free & clothes when you get there.
Has the bonus of more new summer clothes  cloud9:

I wish I had got here earlier. So much good material. DS excelling himself!  lol:

I once went on a beach holiday in Greece.I took:

Trunks (not necessary as it turned out  redface:)
three T shirts (one to wear, one to wash and one for emergencies)
Shorts
Cotton trousers
Jacket (for useful pockets)
Sandals
1 cotton jumper
Some pants (x 2)
Books
Washbag
Anything I needed while there I BOUGHT

On departure I burnt most of the above on a bonfire (not italicised items) and went home in what I stood up in. No luggage. I also burnt my bastard tent. Last time I went camping (1980) evil:

Of course!

I also burnt an old pair of sandals. Rubber soles. Black smoke. Not good. But I left lightly

And it is all true I promise. He showed me the Tesco bill of £250 that she had run up the day before they were due to leave. Yes it has to be admited that she was (a) Blonde and (b) a nurse. On their return we went round for a BBQ and he took the p*ss out of her all evening, to the point that it got a bit embarrassing. She was apparently gob-smacked when she found that Le Clerc's supermarkets (those who have been to Brittany will have used one of their stores) stock Evian, Cornflakes etc and even more surprised that the kids all loved going to the shop and buying local bread fresh every morning.
A nurse eh...?  eyes:

Um ..... yeeesss.  redface:

'Fraid so ~ but only a couple of times redface: redface:

And only one of those counts ~ she was on top for the second round so technically ................ whistle:

I hate luggage. The weight. The encumbrance.

Take stuff you need, old stuff preferably, and on departure torch it and walk away free!

Mrs Nick travels with something like a container load of stuff. I take hand luggage and wash stuff on holiday (hot climates a t shirt will dryin about 10 seconds) or buy stuff I need while I am there.
