Packing so far

I'm one of those people who get's really stressed out by packing for a holiday well this time it's not a holiday, I'm packing for moving to England.  My parents are going to drive me to England so I can bring loads of stuff, . And that's why I always start a few weeks before. But now I'm going to move....to another country and I honestly am freaking out already and I still got a month. Maybe it's because I've never moved so I don't know what you even need to bring.

I find it hard to bring only the thing I know I'm going to wear, because I like to wear alot ot different things. I also like to shop so I know I will be buying clothes. I decided on two things already one I will not be bringing my winterjacket, yes this might be a stupid decision but it's already a bit big and I just know I'm going to fall in love with one in London and then I have two. And secodly I will not bring any winterboots, because I wat to buy these as well. "But you will be going by car you can bring the ones you already have" Yes I know and I thought about it, but I'm not sure my parents are going to be able to pick me up and I really don't wat to trow stuff away.  At this moment I have one suitcase filled and I want to bring only 1 more and maybe a little one for shoes. The suitcase which I have already filled is all winterclothes. I am thinking about bringing my pillow and a small blanket. 

So for now I'm just sitting- every time I try to pack- in my room looking at clothes and try to make a choise, I hope that in a month I will finally have everything packed.

Last week of work

So this upcoming week is going to be my last week of work and I feel so sad! I can't believe I'm going to leave all these sweet people. It's funny, I come out  of a big city but I work in a small town(with only a little over a 1000 people living there) and people aren't really leaving this town to travel so when they heard I was going to leave and move to another country people were actually shocked haha. In this past year I got to know so many of these lovely people and it's going to be hard saying goodbye, So only four more days to go and then I have to say goodbye, sadly there is going to be lots of goodbyes these next few weeks. Fortunately I still have 2 vacations and of course moving England to be looking forward to. :D

Au Pair group South East London

So I’m going to be starting as au pair in London very soon and I wanted to join a group but the one that already exist isn’t active anymore so I decided to make a new one! I just started it today so there aren’t that many people in it. Also I have to say that this group isn’t exclusively for people from south east London, you can joing even though you live in another part of London. So if you will be starting as au pair in London or have started already please feel free to join the group, enjoy! https://www.facebook.com/groups/1513882172160997/?fref=ts
