But that would require looking through the wardrobe and seeing which (smart) clothes still fit. Since I last did "smart" I have probably put on 2 stone (due to things outside my control) so I doubt much will fit. Bah. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

I've never been out of Europe. Don't be scared about flying! Try to enjoy it. Take your most calming classical music on the aeroplane. Then you can try to drown out all the noises. Just sit back and have a good time, feel all cosy snuggled up in your seat, with blankets, and pillows, and food being brought to you! Maybe take a few good books, anything you want really. I don't really know what advice to give, I just sort of listed the reasons why I love flying! But I get scared of things badly too. Like when I had to have my teeth pulled out. I was terrified, and wouldn't let them do it first time round, so had to book another appointment. I've had it done before, and knew I hated the crunching sounds. So I put together a little playlist on my ipod to help drown it out. Think about what you're most scared about, and how to confront them.

I didn't know this was going on! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ohmy.gif) scrambles to check Waterloo IMAX site I get the idea it might be on a weeknight though so it'll prob be out the window. There is no better way to see your favourite films than in IMAX. Dark Knight and the new Star Trek completely blew me away in IMAX (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) QUOTE(pianist_flautist @ Aug 9 2009, 10:07 PM) I'm off to Australia on Tuesday morning (flight leaves at 8:45 to Dubai, which means leaving the house at 4:00 in the morning to be there 3 hours before!

So I put together a little playlist on my ipod to help drown it out. Think about what you're most scared about, and how to confront them. Thanks. I think i'll make sure I've got all my music with me. I've also got lots of books to take, and we're flying with Emirates who have all these individual television things on the seats, so i'll watch lots of films etc. I remember having teeth out! I had the ones right near the back out and was awake for the whole thing. I had two out in one session, and then went back for the other two the next week, so I knew what was coming the next time, and the dentist kindly gave me the week to worry about it! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) The crunching is awful! What's worse in when I had mine out, I apparently have HUGE roots much bigger than the average adult, and my teeth are very strong too, and they couldn't get the top one out for ages, and the dentist was so tired she had to call in another dentist. This new dentist was a MASSIVE woman who came in, held onto my forehead grabbed my tooth and wrenched so hard my head was going side to side! Through all of this, I was just sat that being thrown around! I felt SO sick that whole afternoon and the pain was AWFUL despite pain killers! I feel ill just thinking about it! And I can still taste the strawberry gel they put on the gum before the injections! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ill.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ill.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ill.gif)
