Final weigh in on my rucksack is 15.7kg which means I have 9.3kg of spare luggage allowance to use for the gifts I’m buying you all/the excess toiletries weight that Jade Giles will no doubt need to use seeing as she apparently needs to take the equivelent of a small pharmacy abroad with us. I’m sure I won’t be quite so scathing when I run out of my minimal supply of imodium this time next week though? 

Thanks to everyone for the well wishes this week, finally in the car heading to my fellow lung after what seems like planning forever. Eeek. 

Probably going to need to get over my fear of flying pretty fast! Rose x
