3 weeks to go!

Where to start. I'm now officially homeless. Moved everything to mums place on Wednesday, everything fits nicely btw & spent yesterday & today doing bits & pieces & cleaning. The move wasn't as awful as I thought it was going to be. I hired a moving company so 4.5 hours & $400 later it was all done.

I've managed to fit everything into my pack, although I think I'm going to do another cull in the next few days... I'm now living out of my pack with limited clothes :o(

Crashing at Mums place then I'm off to Melbourne on Wednesday.

Last Saturday I went in to Kathmandu & brought my sleeping bag, silk sleep sheet & CD case. I ended up taking the sleeping bag back on Wednesday cause it didn't fully zip open like I thought it would and exchanged the 'globetrotter' bag instead. It's a 3 season so hopefully it'll keep me warm enough... It was $100 cheaper which was a bit of a bonus too but it's still a $500 bag, thank god for the 25% club member discount is all I can say.

Oh I figured out I've spent about $600 on vaccinations so far so I took all my receipts into Medicare & my private health cover & got $270 back which is great.

Money is now precious - I'm watching my bank account go down, when I feel like been generous I have to keep reminding myself that there's no longer money coming in! Now it's time to live in true backpacker style & become a cheap skate...
