one step back
 

I'm in the last week of my time in the U.K, I'm really hopeless at this sort of thing. Getting organised that is, I always leave things to the last minute, such as running to catch a train or plane for an international or interstate journey. That's happened many times.

But right now my head feels like a solid brick, everytime I think of something I need to do before I leave I then think of somthing else I need to do which leads another untill I just sieze up and can't move.

It wasn't so bad when I was leaving Australia for here as I knew I would be back in a few years, but this is pretty much it, all lose ends must be tied. I feel like I'm making no ground on it what so ever, I'm tempted to reach for the bottle of whisky, but I know that will just distract me to another degree.

I'm going to explode in a minute, just felt like venting, it feels somewhat better.

Yeah - i imagine its tough.

Make a list and try get thru it bit by bit - i think that might help.

Why are going home (if you don't mind me asking)?

Oh hell I know how much hassle goes into moving from one place to another to and fro! Always the last minute stuff like forgetting things, tickets, grabbing buses, changing trains or planes, running around bla bla bla, etc etc......there's always something which you forget and it keeps nagging away in the back of your mind all through the trip!!:mad:

You were over to the UK to study or something?~! Good luck with all that shit!:)

Not good enough for you huh? As tedious as it sounds, make a list. Or a few, for different things you need to take with you or sort out etc. Makes it a lot easier.

Bet you can't wait to get back to your vegemite. Never tried it but it can't be any worse than Marmite.

My visa is at it's end....


And Paul, I was here on a 2 year working holiday maker visa, somthing we get As an Australian to work and see how dull the old country is... :D

By the way Ferret, You can vegemite here, try Morrisons or Sumerfields....

I think it's mainly I have been working full time up till now, I called in sick today just so I could get some shit done, now I realise I need to get 3 p45's out of employers to get my tax back... but that should be a juicy 500 squid in a month or so when I am getting set up back home.

I ended up getting a biyt done today, well, a lot of things started anyway which I should get finished in the next few nights after work. Then went out to see Antichrist and got a few pints in at one of my favorite ale houses, it's strage going to places for what you know is the last time. Well, most likely.

I'll tell my Mum to pick some up.

As an OCD sufferer I sugest to do lists. I keeps several of them on white boards in my room, because if I don't have an order to do things in I have panic attacks. Before you go to bed make a list of what needs to be done the next day (you'll probably sleep better that way) and then when you get up in the morning everything shoud be a bit easier cause you know exactly what needs to get done.

Lists give me Panick attacks, to many things in front of me at once.... ;)

Good luck getting everything sorted mate! Shit I'd be tempted to bail n' leave the loose ends because I'm Mr Responsibilty :D

You are blocking... because you do not want to leave.
