Woke up at 6am this morning panicking that there are only 3 weeks left!! At least it was an incentive for me to get up in the loft and do a bit more sorting. Only 2 cupboards left to do and stuff to deliver to Mum's, the charity shops and the tip and then I am DONE.
Had great news today. Got my tickets (actually make that ticket - it's one way) through from VSO and was delighted to find that my baggage allowance is higher than I thought. VSO tell you it is 25kg but my airline has allowed 35kg. You may not think that's a lot for 2 years and 2 months but it is a lot more than the 25kg I thought I would have. Have to go back to the tip now and see if I can retrieve the kitchen sink - I threw it out when I didn't think I would have room for it.
Great news on the vaccination front too - all finished and final blood test done, so no more black and blue arms and feeling ill. Strange thing was the nurse, who gave me the injections, had actually been to the town I am going to be based in in Nepal (first person I have met that has been there). Great I thought,"So what's Birgunj like?" "Well, it's a border town so you know how they are. It is very isolated but had a good street for shopping and the people were very friendly. Oh and the hospital across the border is very good." Thank god for friendly people in Nepal - that's what I say!!
So that means I am down to about 1000 things left on my 'To Do' list. With 3 weeks to go, I make that about 50 a day! No problem - I'm pleased it's going down!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
