Today was my last day of work for two weeks as I am off on holiday! I cannot wait - last night I was up packing making sure I had everything.

My toiletries, clothes, (including my new Firetrap clothing) sun cream and of course my iPod are all packed and waiting to go!

I am off to Barbados with my girlfriend, all inclusive at a beachside hotel. I have never been to the Caribbean or even that far on the plane so it is a totally new experience for me.

We decided to treat ourselves as we didn’t get a holiday last year and some of our friends have been to this resort before and say it is brilliant.

I am most looking forward to sitting on a beach, with a cocktail, my iPod on catching the rays!
