Call me an Anorak

Home owner or not, I do an A4 calendar on the PC divided up into am, pm and evening and write all the 'appointments' we have on that. I print it out the day before we go. At the end of the calendar, I put on all the relevant phone numbers, etc, etc, email addresses and the like. Then I put it into one of those clear floppy folders (to keep it clean) and when we arrive I Blutack it to the wall (it's our wall so I'm allowed to do that!).

As well as that, all the vouchers, photocopies, etc, etc go into my master folder which I carry in my handbag.

Just one note is not to keep the key lock box codes (or any other codes) with the address. If you happen to lose the piece of paper, anyone has entry into the villa (not a good plan!).

I'm really surprised you've got the door codes four months before you're going though or may be you didn't mean you had these yet?

No Blott we'd never kep codes and addresses on the same sheet in fact we always split these up between me and Beverley (Mrs. Macka). We do treat our holiday homes like our own. (well they are for that time aren't they?)

Yes I've got a code already. I think the owner trusts me with it, and of course he can. He can contact me if he needs to change it.[msnsmile2]

To Macka the Anorak!!!!

If you or the kids plan on sending postcards, you could print off all the names and addresses on labels before you go.[msnwink]

With a lot of suitcases looking the same I have noticed a few people have personalised theirs with a stensil and spray paint, I think they sell a kit in B & Q

Thanks Tricia, the postcard idea is a good one.[msnwink]

And I've already done the stencilling on the cases [msnembarrased]

Macka,

I am very lazy of late and do things at lastminute. I now I should not but as I keep all passports and other stuff in a folder it is easy to remember each time. Never done the A4 sheet though, very organised.[msnwink]

It's not normally the blokes that are so organised you must be one of a kind. Mrs Macka[angel] must go to bed each night thanking her lucky stars

To go back to well travelled toys, Winnie the Pooh went everywhere with us, with his own passport, which muggins here had the job of asking the immigration peeps if they would stamp - guess what, they all did -with either a huge grin, or a "don't let anyone see me doing this".

Not an Anorak Macka, just a Florida addict, its a fine line between the two but we are all addicts on here.[msnwink]

So I am an Anorak then.

I don't care, I like it.
(Mrs. Macka is also organised Paula. Has a list for everything)[msnsmile2]

Chloe, who do you use for your shopping delivery ? I take they are very good, although not sure they would deliver in my area, would have to check that out.

An easy thing to overlook is emergency numbers for credit card companies, in case they should get lost/damaged
