Packing Predicaments

So I will be going on holidays very shortly. Yes, yes I'm so lucky. Where you ask? Spain of course. I love going away, especially from Ireland's weather. It's never too hot or too cold. It's always raining! But don't fear this is not a post about me glaring out the window at the rain. If only looks could kill.
In fact this post is about my packing predicaments.
You see I hate packing. I'm that kind of person that will have to write a list of everything I need and each quantity. Please tell me I'm not alone on this. There is someone out there that creates a list using different colour pen for their importance, right?
Well, no matter, I finally got around to it today. After painstakingly fitting outfits together for each day I folded them neatly into my suitcase. Then I started thinking, what if I need my new turquoise top? What if I run out of shampoo? Should I bring another one? Do I have enough shoes?
The list goes on. So you see there, is another problem. I start off not knowing what to pack then end up bringing everything!
Even though I've matched each outfit I hardly ever end up wearing those clothes together.  I always bring way too much. And then coming home, my bag is too heavy after I once again go on a shopping spree buying a present for everyone in the family and sometimes my neighbours.
Then when I am home there's the tortuous unpacking. Does it ever end?
So as you can see I am going on holiday soon and I won't be able to post. (It's okay don't get emotional. I know you'll miss me. There there, I'll be back soon.)

Don't miss me too much
