8 Sleeps to Go

It is Thursday and we are nearly finished preparations for the trip. Yesterday, Deb got her scripts for all the medications she has to take for the trip (nearly 10 weeks worth). What a performance ! However the scripts are with Pharmacy Direct who are going to package them for her into dosage blister packs which will reduce the amount of space they will take up in the hand luggage. We will pick up the packages some time today. One last thing that is holding us up is trying to get my mobile phone unblocked so that I can use the UK SIM card we have purchased in the UK. Mobile phone companies can drive you nuts, and our supplier is one of them. Having spent an hour on the phone a couple of days ago, they finally sent me the unblock code by email. I tried - but no success, so I phoned them again last night - still no luck, so they are supposed to be contacting me today by an "expert" who will "talk me through the process". I think it would have been easier to buy a new phone, but as I really detest the things, I didn't want to waste the money. Anyway, that may have to be the solution if there is no result today.
