Preparing The House For Going On Holidays

This post is part of my Christmas Preparation plan. This week’s task was starting to get the house organised for going away.

*****

I have posted about this a couple of years ago – the checklist I have to work through before we go away on holidays, but given the time of year it seemed appropriate to give it a bit of an update!

Having the checklist means that I can hang it on the fridge and as we do the tasks, they can be ticked off and I know how we are tracking. It is a great way to get the whole family involved in preparations for going on holidays.

1.Cancel Newspaper
2.Cancel Milk Deliveries
3.Arrange Garbage Collection
