Ideas for packing

I don't leave until June 20, so this may sound a little eager, but does anyone have any ideas for things to pack! I'm happy that the "pack" said to bring an alarm clock and someone had posted that or I would have definitely forgotten. I know there are things we can get down there and we have to bring our own linens, etc. but I was wondering if anyone can think of anything else we may need that could be easily forgotten!

I am excited to start packing soon.... it's not soon enough, but I still can't wait!!!!!

 

Its good that we are in America so anything we do forget they will have it somewhere and allot cheaper than the UK i bet. Stuff I would suggest to bring you may forget is straightners,ur phone and changer until we have a chance to get a new one. formals for the training and just incase we need them again. Ur teddy bear and loada photos, as much as we will love being away I'm sure we will miss are friends and family. I'm also bring my Scotland top just a little way of bigging up my home! Oh and dont forget sum black pens since that is the disney colour and we have loada forms to fill like the day we arrive or not long after.

If you think of anything else let me know as I always forget sumit when I'm working away from home! x

 

I gots my WALT DISNEY WORLD PENS....black of COURSE!!!

ALARM CLOCKS......yeah that is GREAT!! I would have totally forogt it!!

 

If you got a portable pc...
..just take it!!!
It'll make things easier if you want to chat or talk for free with friends and family!!
In this case don't forget mouse, charger, web cam etc!

 

Camera, alarm clock, not many clothes (I'm gonna buy it all over there), pictures of friends and family.

most of the stuff u can buy over there.

 

Good thinkin am gonna buy me a liverpool shirt!!just to big up my hometown!!!

yeah i'll just drive my tv over the atlantic...heheehee...oh well just the bare minimum for me i guess!

 

still thinking of bringing my laptop, but the thing is so heavy.

 

Laptop is CERTAINLY coming with ME!! ;D
This way it will CUT DOWN on the long distance for the friends!! Cell phone will come in handy with the parents!! They have NEVER owned a computer so they rely in the cell for text messaging me!!

I will NEED a TV and I REALLY hope that there are people still at the place I am moving into so they MIGHT take pity on me and help me out with the telly!! DVD player will be HUGE for me as well!! Portable CD player will ALWAYS travel with me so it is esssential that my music comes with me!!
I am a singer and my music is my LIFE!! ;D

 

Awesome list. I think I'll buy a cheap-ish TV and sell it at the end to someone else for even more cheap.

Thanks!

 

me too GOT TO HAVE A TV

 

Take your laptop. Take your laptop. Take your laptop. Take your laptop. Take your laptop. Take your laptop. Take your laptop. ;D

You'll be kicking yourself if you don't.

For those Canadians, Air Canada charges an extra $100 if your bags are over the weight limit. Im sure other airlines have charges for that too, so be careful and remeber you can get almost anything at Walmart.

 

Good post!!!
I'm completely with you!!!
My laptop is quite heavy too...
...but it doesn't matter...
I mean, I just have to take it and put in on my new room's table..
...and that's it!!!
Otherwise it'll be impossible to keep in contact with all my family!!!!

About TV...
just wait and hope that your roomies already have one...
...if not you can buy a new one with them so you'll save up some money and sell it once you're done to the remaning people!!!

 

IM POOR I CAN'T AFFORD A BLLEDIN LAPTOP....OMG will i be shunned for my non laptopieness????? oh dear oh dear oh dear!!!!what to do!!!!

 

HEY BABY.....

You can ALWAYS come borrow mine if need be!!

I will NOT shun you!! ;D

Non-laptopiness! OMG that's worse than leprosy. *shun, shun, shun* ;D ;D ;D

Oh no Ana I sooooooooo didn't mean it like that. :-[ Lol. ;D I just meant that if you have a laptop and you left it at home, you'd be going crazy having to use the kak Commons ones. : ;D Of my close group of friends out there, only a couple of us had a laptop. Everyone else just used ours.
