In three days time we will be arriving in Skiathos With my renewed EHIC card (Those of you who read my previous post will know about my husband forgetting to check my EHIC card , his was ok so he assumed mine was! Anyway it arrived today, only ordered it online on Thursday! (So we are now talking again!) We've both had our holiday haircuts, I picked up some Euros today (disgustingly low exchange rate but never mind!), the spare bedroom is littered with clothes & other items ready for packing (when Mr SF gets the cases out of the loft!), we have eaten rather strange meals this week using up fresh food!,the oven has been cleaned so no oven cooked meals tomorrow and we are going for our customary going-on-holiday-dinner on Thursday evening! If it doesn't rain tomorrow I will give the lawns a final mow and hope it doesn't rain too much when we're away to make it grow!, in case of heatwave my daughter has been given her instructions to come around and water my hanging baskets and planted troughs (but green-fingered she is not!-(might take photos of them to remind me how colorful they are as they'll never be the same again !)
So preparations all made, I'm almost ready! Skiathos here I come...

Very prepared! I love the excitement of a holiday the few days before departure. I always find it amazing that lots of people have the same pre holiday routines I.e night before meal out . We go in September so a little while stil to wait but reading all the updates takes the edge off! Have a great holiday. P.s what rate did you get?

Thomson initially offered 1.16 Euro exchange rate but then agreed to match the best rates I'd been quoted locally today which was 1.1635 from The Money Shop,(not much better but every little helps!) Gutted I didn't get it before the referendum when it was 1.28! But c'est la vie !

Don't forget to remind Mr SF each morning of the holiday about the EHIC card failure. And again each afternoon. We wouldn't want him to start feeling proud of himself.

Yes, I'm beginning to feel a teeny twinge of excitement for 9 weeks and one and a half days. 👍
