This is my first go at blogging so hope it works and someone will read it! In 6 weeks Lea (my husband) and I are going to Kwara province in Nigeria for 2 years with VSO. The training we had last week was excellent and great fun too. Suddenly everything has got very hectic-trying to rent our house, put stuff in storage, tell the banks, have endless jabs and fill countless forms as well as try to think what to pack. How can you pack 2 years stuff in 25kgs? As it will be the rainy season I think waterproofs are needed but I also need to take suncream as it is hard to get there. I jhave found some amazing paper shampoo and conditioner that I am taking. Other ideas are spices, vitamin tablets and much to everyone's amusement my straighteners.I am looking forward to meeting the ESSPIN team in Ilorin where I will be working as Primary Advisor. Trying to make the most of my last few weeks here with my family and friends but can't wait to get there too!
