An upgrade, a new evening bag and 23 days to go!!

On previous cruises we have pre chosen our cabin but on this cruise we decided to book a guaranteed cabin which meant we saved around £700.  The cabin was GE grade (Deluxe Balcony Cabin)  and as no one had cruised on Britannia we thought we would take the chance.  
On 2nd April I went into my details at the website and to my surprise we have been allocated our cabin and we have been given an upgrade to a GD grade cabin.  The cabin is E618 it is the same type cabin that we had paid for but in a better position on the ship. 
I always say things happen for a reason.  This cabin is on E Deck and this is our 4th cruise with P&O and we always have cabins on this deck. Six is Karen's birthday and considered a lucky number by us.  Eighteen is our bungalow number.  So I am very pleased with the cabin

My new bag

number.  
A couple of weeks ago we got our cases out in preparation for starting to pack.  We started to pack swimwear and accessories such as handbags.  It was only then that I realised that an evening bag that Mum had bought me a few years ago has some sequins missing, I was devaastated to find it this way as I am always very careful when putting it away.  I fear it cannot be mended but I cannot throw it away.  I have just bought another bag for the cruise.  It won't replace the bag that Mum bought but I am sure she would like it.  I am now done buying for this cruise.  We only have the odd toiletries to buy.  I cannot believe it is only 23 days away.  Mum always said done wish your life away but I just can't wait!
