Getting ready to go...


Hello everyone, and welcome to my first ever post on my first ever blog. Ever. If you're here then you probably already know all about me and where I'm going....... or do you? For the benefit of the uninitiated and the odd stalker types, I have attempted to summarise my life thus far in the 'about me' bit.

So... After a rather hectic and emotional fortnight of farewells in Brighton (I don't like to do things by halves..), I have left behind some rather fabulous friends and have returned to the Welsh Borders to harass my family. I am presently fluttering about my mum's house as it's four days until I catch my flight to Islamabad. I am utterly skint, under prepared and disorganised in epic proportions but nevertheless I am feeling positive and remarkably calm about the whole thing. I have even compiled a list of important things that I need to do / get before i go, it begins thus...

1. Write list
2. Buy swiss army knife (you never know)
3. Get guitar fixed, buy case and spare strings
4. Learn to play guitar
5. Compose first aid kit - including immodium and Anti EstherRantzenimes
6. Purchase modest clothing
7. Summon willpower to complete list

So as you can see, you've all got nothing to worry about. All I need to do now is find my ticket, not lose my passport before Saturday and hatch a grand plan to get Jo and I upgraded to Club Class for a final taste of luxury... wish me luck....
