I really should be planning what to pack. Yes, I am returning to my home shores this week. I'm not going till Thursday, but what with work, I know if I dont plan my packing today it will be a last minute rush. And really its not as simple as packing for home. This will be the last time I go home before I go back permanently, and I have waaaaay too much stuff here in Finland. I was hoping that all the extra winter clothes I brought here after Christmas could go back with me at easter. But given that its still snowing, and rarely getting above about 3degrees during the day, I'm thinking I shouldnt part with them just yet. Oh I dont know what to do. I guess I will just have to pay the extra weight charges come July, or do what Rach did and post a few boxes of stuff home. But yeah, I'm sure there's some stuff I can get rid of now.
On the subject of home though, I am pretty happy to be going back. I love snow as much as the next person, but seriously, 3 months! Its just too much. I want to see grass again. Its traditional that it pours with rain for my birthday (a week today!), but if I stay here I have a feeling it would snow! I love spring time though, so will like to get home to experience it properly :)

British Summer Time started today so that's usually a cue for rain hehe.
I think 3 months of snow would probably drive you doolally although I bet the Finns just get on with life and their country doesn't grind to a standstill, and I bet they dress properly for it unlike over here.
Happy packing anyway, whatever you decide to bring with you...
They do dress properly. My friend thinks I'm mad everytime I remind her that I dont wear anything under my jeans. Well, other than underwear naturally. Although I have taken to wearing an extra layer under my t-shirt. And hats, I hate hats, but have acquired a many number here.
The packing didn't actually happen... oops. I'm sure it will be fine. Maybe packing under pressure will work out ok. I think thats what happened at christmas...
