Told parents - tick.
Ordered iPod - tick.
Sorting house move - tick.

Not going too badly then. Just gotta farm off some furniture to family and friends, and sort out that all important route and ticket.
Gonna make a deadline of 31st March to sort those things out... after which I'll do some sums and see how much cash I got knockin' about !

Sorry about the incredible dullness off all this - it's basically a progress tracker for me at the moment.
Besides, no-one is supposed to be reading this for a couple of months yet ! Then I promise more stories of (mis)adventure.

As your here, I gift you my quality link de la jour to be more entertaining than I.
Au reviour, T
