    Hey everyone, its getting much closer now!!!!!

    Just thought i'd share a brainwave i had the other day - if youre like me and completely over pack with EVERYTHING, i would highly suggest getting some of the special storage vacuum bags to put all your stuff in in the suitcase!!!
    you basically put your things in the bag, and it sucks out all the extra air to make them much more compact - it can make a pillow completely flat!!!! itll save sooooo much more room in the suitcase, and im sure its bound to help out with the weight a bit too!!! (Not 100% on the weight bit tho)

    You can get JML ones but theyre like £10 for 2 in some places, if youre in the UK you can get them from Wilkinsons (where i work lol, bit of promo going on there!) and we also do our own brand which are like a pack of 2 for £4!!!!

    a usefull little discovery :D

    I bought mine from poundland and i already packed everything weeks ago ='] i'm so sad lol i work at new look so ive just been buying summery items and adding them to the vacuum, all i need to pack now is lotions and stuff :p I'd say there a good space saver but if u dont need space dont bother with them cos they probz add weight, mine feels dead heavy and if its rips ur screwed lol x

    Instead of the hoover bags, I've got the 'roll-up' variety - no hoover required! ;D
    If i remember right they were from ASDA.
