Maud's Diary: What should I pack?

66 Comments

I'm heading home for the holiday, I can't wait!

What do you have to pack when you go away?

Phew, finally finished all my homework. Read my replies to your comments below!

Maud's Diary replies: DolphinEmeraldKey Well met, Maud! I usually pack practical stuff depending on where I'm going - e.g. if I was going to a hot country I might pack sun-cream and sunglasses - but I would also pack things that were important to me like the angel stone Mildred gave you, things to keep me entertained like books and electronics and extra things that I just feel like packing (like sweets for a midnight feast or a torch for telling ghost stories!) Official Maud Spellbody Well met, DolphinEmeraldKey. Very good packing advice! I don\u2019t think I\u2019d be very good at telling ghost stories\u2026or hearing them! A torch, however, is a good idea for when I need to see in the dark!
Maud's Diary replies:LilacLollyFlower I have a secret I don't tell most people. I can't sleep without a special thing....my mum's t-shirt. it helps me get to sleep since the smell of her perfume is so nice. I also just HAVE to take my diary and a good book or two. Official Maud Spellbody Well met, LilacLollyFlower. Thank you for sharing your secret! Sometimes familiar smells are the best thing to bring comfort so that\u2019s a great idea. And where would we be without our diaries? I hope you\u2019ve enjoyed reading mine.
Maud's Diary replies:whitefluffyarcticfox Well met Maud! When I go away on a sleepover I pack my pyjamas, a blanket and some snacks for a midnight feast! Official Maud Spellbody Well met, whitefluffyarcticfox. That\u2019s a great list for a sleepover. I don\u2019t think it can be a proper sleepover without a midnight feast!!! Yum!
Maud's Diary replies: U17434640 Well met Maud, I have to take a couple of books and if I'm visiting someone, a present for them. I think you did an great job of deciding what to take! Official Maud Spellbody Well met and thank you, U17434640. Taking a present for someone you\u2019re visiting is such a lovely thing to do. I\u2019m going to get my thinking cap on and think of a perfect present for mum!
Maud's Diary replies: HappySlothFun Well met Maud. I always need to pack my soft toy dragon. I can't sleep without him. I always take loads of games too to keep me and anyone else really happy Official Maud Spellbody Well met, HappySlothFun. Does your dragon have a name? If I had a dragon, I would call it Ethel! Games are always a fun way to bring people together, I\u2019m looking forward to playing some when I get back home.
Maud's diary, Maud is signing off, she says "Well met, everyone! Thank you so much for reading my diary and for all of your advice. I\u2019m off on my holidays so goodbye for now!".
