People keep saying "Haven't you gone yet??!!"

No we haven't! not till 9pm on Monday. It can't come soon enough for me.

I went in to work for the last time this afternoon to sort out a few loose ends then we packed our rucksacks for the last time before we leave England. As Mandy says if it's not in there now we will have to do without it. I have spent a couple of hours going through all the documentation and making sure that we have two copies of everything. I've counted the Ringgits several times and notified the Bank that we're going to be in Malaysia for three weeks. We dont want them thinking my card's been cloned and shutting down my account do we? That could be awkward! Does that count as due dilligence Kojo?

Martyn just rang with the details of our lift to Gatwick. I mentioned in an earlier entry that he'd double booked his services on the 7th, well he is picking us up at 1:00 pm and we're going with his neighbours to Heathrow and then on to Gatwick. Most people would just say "Sorry, can't do it" but not Martyn. What a mate!!

I'm really thrilled with the number of friends who have posted messages on the site and even more who've sent good wishes by e-mail.......Thanks to all of you
