Still slightly freaking out.
Stuff that needs to get done:
Post redirection.
Pack.
Fix laptop. (Can't be done in time - bugger)
Get Certificate for jabs.
Landrover training. (Can't be done before I leave)
Sort out Mess Bills for the next three months.
Pick up PSP from camp.
Sort out ID card.
Get passport photos for paperwork.
Get eye test for colour perception (might be able to use an old test for this) and for OASC (have you EVER tried to get a short notice eye test!??!)
Tidy flat.
Send OASC paperwork (might need to send that BFPO once I get down there - might look a bit different, return address FIB).
Get keys cut.
Tomorrow is going to be a busy day. Shame I've got to cover the night shift tonight.
Looks like I'll be travelling down a day later, or leaving later on Tuesday and crashing overnight at Tasha and Chris'. That or pulling another late night jaunt down the highways and byways of this nation.
E-mail will certainly be the best way to reach me while I'm gone, but there are these little things called "Bluey" envelopes that are a sheet of paper you write on and send free. Not sure how much they are but it's a physical letter. We used to send them to my dad when we was in the Falklands, of course, that was before we had internet. Or a computer. Or a VCR. (Yes, for my younger readers (or the younger guy at work) there was a time before the internet, and even before everyone had computers).
Right, I've got a few hours before I need to head to work, so I'll see what I can get done.
And Sian, yeah, fridge magnets were on my to-do list, as is trying to find a suitable penguin to photograph, or getting a Tux and sticking him on a rock somewhere.
Richard's comment on a previous post got me thinking - he was always good at that - and yeah, it's a strange world that we live in. Having said that, I'm not quite as blasé about this as I might seem. Seriously, I'm freaking out!
At least once I've done this, doing it again won't be so hard, and I get the feeling that unless I have a real problem with being down south, I'm going to be put on the list of "people that we can send south."

Heh, yeah, I'd be freaking out too.
And is the email address I've got going to reach you there, or do I need another one? Sorry if this adds to your already lengthy "to do" list.
And the penguin/Tux idea is good, but if you get a picture of a penguin IN A TUX it'd be the best thing EVER. Bonus points if it sitting at a table being served by a penguin dressed as a waiter.
No, I haven't gotten any saner over the years.
Yeah, the address you've got is the one.
As for the Tux-in-a-tux, well, I'll have a copy of photoshop with me and three months to learn how to use it!
And congrats on the driving! Nice job getting a discount on the insurance...
