I finished work on Friday evening and packed up my desk then the next on my list of things to do was pack up my suitcase. A daunting task at first, considering A. I'm such a "maybe what if I might need x, y or z" person who always carries too much in her handbag, B. I only had one Ryanair-sized carry on case and C.

Easy peasy.
