Hey Guys!
So if you're anything like me, packing for a holiday is actually quite stressful. It starts out fine, then you forget something or it doesn't all fit, and then it all just makes you stressed haha.
I thought i'd get on top of it this year and so I tried to do it yesterday (Friday) as I had the day off. I got everything out of the wardrobes and put into piles on my bed ready to go in, and then I packed everything except my dresses so they crease up the least amount possible!
However...
I lost my black heels. How anyone can lose a pair of shoes in their own house is beyond me, but I managed it. So now I have to do a mad rush to Meadowhall to get some! I also realised that I don't have a hat. I love massive straw hats, and they always have to be packed in a certain way. But I lost that too so I don't have one. So another reason to go to Meadowhall now! And an entire suitcase to repack! I hope it's not just me that does stuff like this!
I would usually be happy to go shopping, however the roads are shut on sunday as the Tour de France is going past the shopping centre so we have to get a train and everywhere is going to be so busy! Talk about stressful!
So today I decided to just take a few hours to chill and just do what I want so I got my mum to teach me how to french plait my hair (so far i'm still terrible) and I made some pizza dough so we could make our own pizzas and dough balls for dinner :)
I tried for ages but failed so my mum stepped in to show me how haha
This one was red pepper, red onion, mushroom, sweetcorn and spinach :) much more exciting than mine which was simply chicken and mozzarella! I didn't get a photo of mine before it was cut up, but I can assure you, it was delicious.
I love making pizzas, it takes minutes and they are healthier and taste way better than ones you buy! You just need '00' grade plain flour (a personal preference but I much prefer it to other flours), yeast, salt and sugar and olive oil! With a bit of water to make it into a dough :)
Yummy!
Now it's time to sort everything out before our manic last minute trip to the shopping centre and re-packing! I'll try to post on Monday when we get to the hotel down in London!
Hope you've all had a good weekend! :)
With Love, Amylou x
I'm like you... I find packing very stressful! It doesn't matter how early I start, I am always rushing around in a panic in the end! Also, that pizza looks really good! x

It is stressful isn't it! I'm leaving in like 15 hours and i'm still no closer to being packed! Thanks it does doesn't it! (If I do say so myself haha) :) x
DeleteYour homemade pizzas look insanely good, definitely will try making my own! And I'm the same, I'm awful at french braids I've no idea what I do wrong but they never look right haha xx
