Here's some photos of the things we have been buying/gathering ahead of the trip:
This is the 'sensible' stuff - thermals, boots, snacks (not quite as many as last time!!!)
This is the stuff we've bought to decorate our room. We would love a Christmas themed room but just don't think we can justify the expense, so we have bought some little decorations to put in ourselves to make it a bit festive. We've also got a few birthday bits as the day we arrive will only be 4 days after our 21st so we feel that we can still celebrate
Also a special mention for Charlotte's festive peas in a pod. She loves them.
Lastly is just a picture of the wallet I've been using to keep things like the hotel reservation and Eurostar tickets in. Charlotte's bought a travel wallet that she's very fond of! So we're keeping our train tickets and things in there. We've also bought some pin badges from ebay to (hopefully) trade.
