Episode 407 – 10 things NOT to do when you come back from a trip

Ingrid: Coming home from a trip can feel surprisingly overwhelming. You walk through the door expecting comfort, but instead you're met with suitcases, laundry, and empty fridge, and a long mental to-do list. today's episode, we're talking about what not to do when you get back from time away. Because often it's not about doing more.

It's about avoiding the habits that make everything feel harder than it needs to be. share 10 common mistakes people make after a trip and how small simple resets can help you land back into real life, feeling calm in control, and happy to be home

Ingrid: Hello and welcome listeners. I'm Ingrid.

Lesley: And I am Lesley. Now, if you are here for the very first time today, or you've been listening in for ages, we want to say a huge thank you we have a little favour to ask.

Ingrid: If you like what you hear, be sure to hit that follow or subscribe button. Share us with your friends or leave us a review. It makes a huge difference to us.

Well, Lesley, we're talking about trips and vacations in this podcast, and oh, I love a, I love a holiday. I love a vacation. I love a trip away. How much? I know. I know. You are a tr, a apid traveler or intrepid. How do you say that? You love to travel.

Lesley Spellman: Well, I mean, I think you're trying to say intrepid traveler. Yeah, that's what it is. I'm not sure whether I would consider myself to be that, but I do love a trip and we are going right into holiday season now, aren't we? So. That's exciting. We've got a few things about holidays coming up because they do involve an awful lot of effort to prepare for, and then they involve an awful lot of effort when we come back through the door.

So you can, it's a lot, isn't it? So it's nice while you're there for the most part, but before and after can be a lot. You know, some people start prepping for holiday like three weeks before they actually go, and so we really need to sort of think about that, don't we? So we thought today that we would do what not to do when you get back from a trip, rather than what to do when you get back for a trip.

So without further ado, with, let's crack on with our 10 things not to do when you come back from a trip.

Ingrid: Exactly, and I love 10 things As our listeners, I'm sure know. this makes me always happy at 10 things. Indeed. Number one don't leave your suitcases for days or weeks. Unpacked, I mean. often do we come into clients and people's homes and we think, oh, have you literally just come back? And they're like, no, no, we've been back for like four weeks.

And you think, Ooh, I wonder what kind of smelly things are inside that suitcase. So definitely don't leave it. Unpack it. Honestly, it doesn't take us long, but I think it's just because we're a bit down because our holiday is over. Lesley. We'd like, oh, now all the jobs need to be done after our holidays and our trips, but it's part of the, it's part of the package.

Unpacking your suitcase is part of the deal.

Lesley Spellman: Lemme ask you a question then. Ingrid, what do you think about people leaving stuff in suitcases that are hol holiday stuff in suitcase? Because that's something quite a lot of people do, right? So travel things, they kind of leave them in a suitcase. What do we think about that?

Ingrid: that?

for me, that's a no

Lesley Spellman: So tell me why it's a no. So for me it's also a no, but tell us why you think it's a no. And is it, is it something that could work for some people, I suppose is the question.

Ingrid: Okay. think there's, there, well, we're going off on a, we haven't even started with a 10 things, and we're going off on attention,

Lesley Spellman: I know it's probably more interesting than Saint on pay suitcase to be fair, isn't it? So this is more interesting. Can we just deviate on every single one and be still be here in an hour and a half? Right. Okay. Go on. No, I just was interested in your thoughts.

Ingrid: Definitely, definitely. So, no, for me it's, I think a suitcase needs to be empty. I mean, the only thing I leave in a suitcase is a, like a plastic bag. So I can put my shoe, like a shoe bag, like, or a plastic bag that I can put my shoes in. That's the only thing I leave. Everything else gets unpacked.

Whether it's locks for the suitcase, it's, it's eye masks for the plane. It's a, a bum back for when you do a city trip. That's, in my opinion, should not live in a suitcase because I think you should create a separate box or container where you put all of those things in that makes sense to bring. Because when next time you grab another suitcase, another roll on another backpack, another travel bag, you're like. Where's the stuff,

Lesley Spellman: Yeah.

Ingrid: then you have to go rummage through suitcases to find out what the stuff is. And the problem is that's when people end up buying multiples of things because things get hung over in bags and you don't want to look for them. You just wanna pack your bag. So in my opinion, there should be a separate place for those things called travel items.

And it can even be, you know, maybe. with a different currency. It can be, I don't know. If you go skiing and you've got a ski resort pass it, you always go to the same place. all these things that you think, oh, where am I gonna put that? Like a neck pillow, place, one box that you can then grab from. Game changer, in my opinion.

Lesley Spellman: I think the other thing that people put into suitcases, so I completely agree. I think it, I think it allows more control over what you'll be able to find things a little bit easier. I think people who do that probably argue that they know exactly what suitcase these things are, and it's effectively the same thing.

It's a storage place for your travel items. But I think, you know, some people put clothes in there, so like holiday clothes that they only use on holiday. Now for me, I think that. It kind of cuts down options because there invariably will be things that you could wear at home on a sun hot, sunny day. You know, if we're talking about going to hot, sunny climbs then, and it, if it's in a travel suitcase, you're not gonna use it for the rest of the year.

Do you know what I, so I think it cuts down your options. So I think it's something that we, you know, I. Some people are really wedded to that. And if it works for you, then don't worry about it, but just think about it. Think about the pros and cons of it. Anyway, we better move on. Otherwise I'm gonna get told off from Ingrid.

So let's go into number two, which is you are back now that laundry is not gonna wash itself, and so do not ignore your laundry for days on end. Just kind of sack yourself up to do your like five loads. If you get that backlog, it's just gonna cause you more overwhelm. We want to go into this calmness, so let's get these loads of laundry on the go as soon as we get in.

It's not, it's the last thing you wanna do, but you'll be doing your future self a favor by cracking on and getting on with the laundry, won't you?

Ingrid: Oh, absolutely. I mean, I, I still like, bless him, a load in the car I'm already stuffing the washing machine with the first load. I've like literally come through the door, put the lights on, and I'm like, on my way to the washing machine to put a load in. It's like I just wanna get ahead of that.

I

Lesley Spellman: Yeah.

Ingrid: to have still 12 lows to do week or two weeks later. I'm like, we might as well just fill her up and get it going. Laundry has to be done no matter what, and. At some point you run out of underwear, right? Because you've brought stuff on holiday. So the first, often first is like a dark load and a wide load and, and then I'm like, okay, now let's see, what else have we got left?

But there's loads of stuff that can immediately go in, so I completely, you know, don't ignore that because you just creating problems for yourself.

Lesley Spellman: Yeah, absolutely. So washing, get it going. But I think one of the things that we wanted to talk about as well is you've got a great opportunity when you come back from holiday because most of the time you have eaten most of the stuff out of your fridge, and so you are. Kind of, unless you've got a really kind person who goes to the shops for you before you comes back and gets milk and bread and all that kind of stuff.

But generally we have a fairly empty fridge when we come back off holiday. That's the perfect opportunity. To give it a quick what wipe out and to look whether there is anything that is out of date at that point before you then go and do your shopping. So don't overlook, don't miss the opportunity to look at your fridge and go, right, okay, what needs to go?

So I think it's a good opportunity and it's one that I do because it rarely is your fridge that empty. I mean, ideally you'd wanna do it before you went to be fair, but sometimes we don't. And sometimes we look at things and go. Which, you know what, I think those potatoes or whatever might still be okay when I get back from holiday in two weeks time or something like that.

And so, and sometimes they're not okay. And so it's things like that. So ideally do it before you go, but failing that, don't miss the opportunity to do it when you come back.

Ingrid: Yeah, I think that's a great number three, because I think like, like you said, Lesley, this is also, you hopefully have already run down your fridge contents as much as you can before holidays. So this is, you know, this is not gonna be a massive job then either, just to kind of check a few things, look at a few things, check a few dates, and go. Oh, while I'm here, I might as well do a bit of a clear out, because that then perfectly gives us number four. You need to have in mind already when you're going to do like a little grocery trip, right? A little restock. I mean, you might go, you know what, it's, it's, I'm coming back on Thursday. I normally do my shop on the front on a Saturday, for example, but. Let me just quickly go to the shop, get some bread, get some milk, get a, you know, couple of little basics time me over the next day, and then on Saturday I'm gonna do my big shop, or I'm just grabbing a few little bits before I do my big shop, because I think then that prevents you from. Going back and forward like five times, right?

Where you're like, oh gosh, you know, because you have to go, breakfast is gonna happen tomorrow, lunch is gonna happen, dinner is gonna happen. And when you kind of don't kind of go, I need to get, make sure that I get some food going here to stock the fridge up. It's so easy to kind of start snacking and kind of open the cupboards, kind of randomly think, oh, I'll just eat that and we'll see.

You know, we'll see. It can, you can kind of quickly turn to takeaway.

Lesley Spellman: Yeah, exactly. So don't procrastinate over skipping, skip, skipping that, that basics shop shopping trip, and I think as well, but it's really useful to really think about what you already have because I dunno whether. You are like me, but as soon as I go away, it's as if the whole of the previous life before I went away didn't exist.

And so I can't remember anything like whether it's work related, home related, what I had it, you know, as you're kind of doing it every day, you kind of have memories, don't you? But honestly, it's just as if that whole part of life, it's just been obliterated when you come back, are you not like. Like I have to write things that if I'm working in particular, I have to write exactly where I was, like on a notepad so that I've got that when I come back.

Otherwise, I'd be like, no idea. Literally no idea what that even task is or project is. And it's the same with with home and you know, where you are up to with certain projects, with, with shopping, with food and all that kind of stuff. So, it, it is a, it is a weird one and that's right. 'cause we've switched off, right.

That the, the, the point is we switched off and that's exactly what we're supposed to do on holiday. But we need to give ourselves a little bit of helping hand and just kind of retune in, I think, don't we? A little bit when we get back.

Ingrid: yeah, yeah. I think it's so true because it's like. Oh, you know, I've had, especially when the kids were younger, and I think we have so many things in your head, I kind of had to kind of WhatsApp my friends. Like, I know we've got a thing coming up, but have we actually now sorted? Where are we going? What are we doing?

What's our we meeting? Did we agree on, on, on, on the timings? Have we booked a restaurant? No idea. You have to kind of scroll back.

into the WhatsApp messages to see like what's happened. And I think this is exactly the

Lesley Spellman: I mean, to be fair, Ingrid, you know, I talk about the fact that I've got that, I forget what went on before I went on holiday. Increasingly, I forget what I did like an hour ago. So, you know what I mean? Like, so he is not just being on holiday. It's like, oh really? There's so many times. And he was like, we agreed it yesterday.

And then I just do something completely different. And she's like, we literally agreed it. I'm like, ah. Good way. No, no memory of that. So yeah, let's call it brain fog or aging or whatever. But yeah, so I can put it down to a holiday thing and switching off. But actually I just think it's like memories fading.

But anyway, so I'll take song to our number five, which is don't ignore what's come through the door before we, whilst you, whilst you've been away. You know, sometimes the post can be a little bit overwhelming as it comes through. Sometimes it might be emails as well. Do you know what I mean? We're getting back on that wagon of doing post and boring life admin and emails and all that kind of stuff.

But don't put it off any longer than you need to really, 'cause we need to get back into things and we need to make sure that there's not been anything important while we've been away. Right? Ingrid?

Ingrid: Yeah, I think that's really, I think that's really important because I think it's so easy to grab that stackup post, shove it somewhere and go, eh, yeah, I'll, I'll, I've got other things to do now I need to get back to life and work and thingies and all. And then, but if you don't look at post, and I know, you know, post is different for a lot of people.

Some people really still get very much important letters and all that, but other people are like, it's all junk mail. But still, you have to go through it. And because if you miss an important envelope and you don't do something, you will get reminders, you will get fines. You will miss important things. So you're actually making it worse for yourself than going, you know what, I know that when I get back from holiday, I'm going to have to sit down. 20 minutes, five minutes and half an hour somewhere to just go through this post and just get it over and done with because avoidance is just making it worse. And you can, like I said, miss important things. I think it's really important. So yeah, and you don't have to do like a whole like life admin session.

It can be just a quick first 10 minutes of, lemme just open the envelopes. This needs to be filed, this needs to be shredded, this needs to be recycled. This is to do and do that. Okay. Right. I'm going to plan time to do some of these things later, but that first kind of round of, okay, I'm back on top of things is, is a game changer.

yes, Lesley, nice top five so far. So let's go for a break and then we'll do, six to number 10 after. So see you soon.

Hi everyone. Welcome back. We are talking about the 10 things not to do when you come back from a trip or a holiday or a vacation. Let's move on to number six. Oh gosh, this is a big one. This is the one that nobody wants to do and it is Lesley. I'm gonna give you the honor.

Lesley Spellman: Yeah, don't pretend your calendar and your work commitments doesn't exist, so don't bury your head in the sand and just still feel like you're sipping a pina colada on your sun lounger when you've actually got to go to work at eight o'clock tomorrow morning. So I think that's really, really important.

You know, this whole thing has been about procrastination, if we're being honest, isn't it? Ingrid? Like, you know, we just can't procrastinate on these things. Sadly, holidays are there to give us a little reset from the mundane nature of everyday life. And so, but we have to kind of go, okay, let's get back in the saddle.

Let's go for it. So do some planning. You know, if that's something that you do or don't do. 'cause I say, you've probably forgotten about what's coming. Do you know what I mean? If you've got any. Any sense that you have forgotten and not even thought about it for that couple of weeks while you've been away.

So make sure you check that calendar so you know what's coming. We don't want this week back at work to be any worse than it potentially might be because we want to be sipping a peanut cla on a sun lounge. So yeah, let's get, have a look at that calendar. You know, have a look at some, a few little bits and pieces of emails.

Do a little bit catching up. You might wanna give yourself a little bit of grace before you go.

Ingrid: Yeah, I, I, I'm gonna come clean, Lesley. I'm normally quite good at this. But last night at half 11, I completely suddenly realized that this morning at 8:00 AM I had a reformer Pilates class that I completely forgot about. I just went, oh, and normally goes, I normally kind of, every day I look, okay, what's happening tomorrow?

How's the week looking? How's the next couple of weeks? And that's especially important when you come back from holiday because like you say, it's one kind of. Black hole out there, like, what's happening? Oh, I was, I was on a beach the other day, or I was like walking in the mountains or whatever. I've got, I've become clear in my brain and there's like, oh, normal life resumes, it happens to the best of us that I completely forgot that I had a a, an exercise class this morning.

So, yeah, it,

Lesley Spellman: on you. Ingrid Jansen, she's a slave to her calendar, let me tell you. She literally, she knows my calendar, so we just swapped a few calendars around and we're trying to do it. It's all, we won't go into the details, but anyway, Ingrid basically should have access to my calendar. It should just say busy, but for some reason that we can't understand at this moment in time.

And we have looked at it for everybody's like, oh, you need to change that setting. She's got access to everything that I'm doing. So not only has she got her her own hideous, and I mean hideous calendar with like 5,000 things on it, all like cluttered, cluttering up, I'm like, oh my, I could not cope with that.

She's also got mine and she likes that. She's like, oh, tomorrow you're gonna do this. And so, yeah. So she's keeping a track of everybody's calendar. So, yeah, I don't know what to say really.

Ingrid: forgot my own calendar appointment.

Lesley Spellman: I know because it was overlaid by my, my commitments this morning at 8:00 AM You were too busy being nosy about what I was doing and never forgot about your own self.

But anyway, yeah. So get cracking on that calendar, work out what this week's gonna look like. And I think, you know, again, on the same lines about procrastination, on number seven is. Don't procrastinate. Getting back to your normal routines and resets. I know this is really boring and you're probably like, Ugh, really?

But the quicker we get back on the wagon, the better with everything, to be fair, because that holiday is now over and we need to do ourselves a favor and we need to crack on. And so it's important to start thinking, when am I gonna do my daily research? You know, you'll need to do a daily reset, an evening reset that night when you come back from holiday to get back on because.

It will probably look even worse than it ordinarily does in a week. You know, if you've been on holiday, get back into those routines and recess. Don't leave the washing up. You know, sweep the kitchen floor if necessary. Make sure you make your bed straight away. Don't fall back into bad habits because you've had a break from it.

Keep on going. Keep that routine, keep that commitment, keep that consistency. Really, really important because. Routines, create stability after things have been disrupted, but also start a little bit small. Just think about it. It doesn't have to be perfect at this stage. We just need to try, don't we, Ingrid?

Ingrid: Yeah. Yeah, I think that really helps as well, especially if life is really, really busy, you know, with, with work and caring and kids and school runs and, and, and gym and all of the things that we all have going back to those road. Routines can really help you to kind of settle in a little bit. And of course that doesn't mean you can, you know, you have to immediately forget your whole holiday.

That's not what we're talking about, but it will help you to kind of get back into, right. Okay. This is kind of, we're back to normal life. And we can definitely Remi reminisce about our beautiful holiday that we had. And that leads us nicely into number eight, which is don't just let your, photographs completely kind of disappear in the, in your cloud somewhere. Do something with your photographs. Do some photo Organising. Take a bit of time to look at all of the photos. Can you delete. Probably loads of them because they're blurry. You've done the same shot about 12 times because that's what happens because you're just snapping away. are you still, having only photos on your phone and have you not linked your cloud yet?

And is this something that you need to make sure that it gets uploaded or whatever it is? Because how often do we hear that something happens to someone's phone and all of the photos have disappeared? So. If these are things that are important to you and normally, you know. Photos from holidays and trips away are the most important because these are the moments that we, hopefully, you know, enjoy the most.

So it's something to not leave. You know, sometimes people, there are people who are like in the plane on the way home. I'm already going through all of my photos. Well, normally I always. When we fly, I fly at strange times, so I'm like, I'd rather watch a movie, do nothing. But then you have to at some point go, you know what, let me just look through those photos and, and enjoy all of the wonderful things that you've done as well.

Lesley Spellman: Exactly, exactly. No, I think it's a really good tip actually, to, to get straight back on it. So if you're feeling a little bit exhausted when you come back, that's a great thing to just go, I'm still doing, I'm doing something to try and get myself back into a normal routine, but it's still enjoyable. Kind of like a, a bridge between the holiday in real life.

So, but you know, Ingrid, you talk about, you know, don't forget about your holiday, but literally as soon as you bite, you forget. It's like, as if it never happened, isn't it? Isn't it?

Ingrid: yeah, yeah.

Lesley Spellman: You like little people. Oh, did you have a nice holiday? Five? Oh my God. Like, forgot I even went because I'm back into normal life. Do you know what I mean? Sad really, isn't it? But anyway, and so this follows on a little bit from our number one actually on this is number nine now. don't leave your bags and your paperwork and your travel items and all the things that we would talk about hanging around.

Try and repatriate those things. Try and make sure they go to the travel section, they go in the drawer in which they belong. If it's paperwork that you are keeping, make sure it goes in your paperwork filing, so make that part of your reset to actually reset. And put those travel things away 'cause they have a habit of hanging around.

But a lot of these things are also super important and super stressful if you can't put your hands on them when you want to. And so it's really important to make sure that you have a travel box. You know, we spoke about a travel box before. We talk about suitcases at the beginning. It's one of the most impactful things that we ever put into clients' homes, isn't it, Ingrid?

You know, my travel box has got, as Ingrid says, it's got neck pillows. I don't very often play games when I'm not on holidays, so we've got games in there as well, like packs of cards and all that kind of stuff. Going to the travel box as well, you know, you've got things like eye mask, you maybe got secondary charges and all those kind of things.

You know, think about that and have them all in one place. And it's not just about going on holiday for two weeks on a plane. It can also be if you go on a weekend trip, everything is in one place and you don't then need to take it from your side of your bed. If it's a charger, you leave that in, in situ and you have a separate one because we've all got like 5 million charger, haven't we?

or a non, when you want to find one. And so, you know, things like that. So having a travel box or. Place to put all your travel stuff is really, really important and important for the whole family. You know, it doesn't just need to be your staff.

Ingrid: yeah.

Lesley Spellman: you can, you can have one that's, that's for everybody.

Ingrid: Yeah, I think especially also like travel adapters, they always like disappear in in suitcases and, and backpacks as well. Great to put in a travel books as well. Unpack your toiletries and another one. This is also part of number nine. You know, if you've used, if you've only gone a weekend away and you've got like little travel size items, put them in your shower.

And finish them up. If you have reusable little travel size things that you gotta fill up with your own shampoo and your own conditioner. Finish them up, empty them, clean them through, and have them ready for the next trip. Don't leave this tiny little bit in there. And then next thing you're like, oh, what's this shampoo?

What's this conditioner? Is this body wash? I can't remember. How long has it been in here? almost like finishing, finishing the loop, right? Just packing it all away. And of course then packing away the suitcase. So if That. has to go into a kind of an awkward cupboard or a higher up place somewhere, then you need to get a letter out, or it needs to go into the at or the basement. Make sure that one or two days after you've, everything is unpacked And everything is put away. That's the last thing to put the suitcase away as well, so you don't hurt your toes. When you try to walk around maybe in the dark that night and you're like. Oh yeah. I forgot this suitcase was here, but now I remember.

Lesley Spellman: That. And so we're very conscious that we've been kind of cracking the decluttering and Organising whip and saying, okay, five minutes after you land, after your 14 hour travel, you need to start washing and sorting and resetting and checking your calendar, and all that kind of stuff. But having said all that, obviously all that needs to be done within reason.

Good practice, but it's not always possible. But our last one is don't beat yourself up for feeling a little bit deflated 'cause it's the end of a fabulous trip. You know, give yourself a little bit of grace on that. You know, an emotional come down from something that, that was exciting, that was relaxing, and that transition back into normal life can be a bit like a.

Make you feel a little bit flat, so that's normal. Don't beat yourself up over it. It's be, be compassionate to yourself. It's all part of the reset process and it's the reason why holidays are so great. I think. So I'm looking forward to mine. You've got ages to wait for yours, haven't ringed. I've only got two weeks.

I've got.

Ingrid: As Al as always, as always. So, yeah. I can't

Lesley Spellman: Do you know what your problem is? You know what your problem is, Ingrid, is that you live in Holland and you have to keep going back to Holland to visit your family. And so all of your leisure time is done. I mean, I know it's nice to do that. I'm not saying it's not nice, but a lot of your vacation and holiday time is spent seeing your family over in Holland, right?

So even though it looks like I'm on holiday all the time, which to be fair, I kind of, I, I'm making no apologies for that. I'm like, I'm happy Is Larry going on holiday all the time, but yeah. But yeah. You need to get more than one or two trips a year, Ingrid, you gotta do that. That's gotta be a goal for 2027

Ingrid: on it.

Lesley Spellman: working on it.

Fair enough.

Ingrid: on it, working good. Yeah, definitely. 'cause I love going on holiday. I thoroughly enjoy it. I spent a lot of, time, oh my gosh. I mean, I'm about to go on holiday to Florence for, for a long weekend with my sister. The time spent getting ready and. Enthusiastic about this trip is, is, is lo is far longer than actually the trip itself, which is only four days. But yeah, it's all organized and all sorted. So, but yeah, it's, I think it is important to make sure that you don't forget the things to do when you get back, because I think it'll make your life again. It's one of these things, right? These might all seem like, oh wow, but I don't wanna do that. But I know, but you're doing your future self. A massive favor by doing all these little bits and getting yourself sorted. And then you can already start to think about, oh, where am I going next? So yeah, we love the holiday and it's, you know, that's fantastic and we hope you do too.

We're lucky we get five weeks here in the uk so, so yeah, we're good. We,

Lesley Spellman: Everybody does. No, everybody does.

Ingrid: No, no, not everybody. Not everybody,

Lesley Spellman: That's, I know we get more than other, other countries in general. I think there's like a, I think there is like a four week minimum, isn't there? I think. I think there's a four week minimum that we get here in the UK by law, and then some people are.

Ingrid: listeners, let us, yeah. I mean, yes, here in the U uk. Yes. I think, here in the UK it's like four weeks minimum, but on average people have five weeks. But we know it's different around the world. So let us know how many holidays do you have? How many days are you allowed to take off during the year?

And we're not talking about. Christmas or Thanksgiving or Easter, because they're kind of the normal holidays, but actually holidays that you can travel and go to other places. I I, I would be interesting to hear this from our listeners, so leave us a

Lesley Spellman: I think, you know, I, I seem to remember unless it's changed, you know, when I was in the States, I was like, horrified. It's like they only get like two weeks or something.

Ingrid: Yeah.

Lesley Spellman: do you mean? And then that because, because what I noticed when I was in the states that people would travel long distances for just four or five days here in the uk, like our standard holidays, normally two weeks.

I'm not saying people don't go for a week 'cause they do, but two weeks is very common, isn't it, Ingrid? And so the kind of four or five days that a lot of people do when they're going, from the states and going quite far, quite long distances as well, that's short. So is that still the same or has it changed?

It might devastate to state as well. You never know. I dunno. But we, we need to know this information

Ingrid: I know it's, this is very important.

Lesley Spellman: so that we can gloat. So we can gloat. Oh, we got like five weeks. No, I'm joking. Yeah.

Ingrid: No, no. but no, definitely. So let us know and let us know if these things will help you. I mean, it is may now lots of holiday and vacation and trips coming up. Hopefully for lots of you, so have our. things not to do when you come back from holiday actually really helped you to go, you know what, I'm gonna do it differently this time.

I'm the person who always leaves their suitcase linger, and it drives me crazy in the moment. I don't mind, but I get annoyed by myself that I still see that three weeks afterwards. And I'm gonna change that and I'm gonna do it. So let us know. we would love to hear from you. thanks for being here and we'll see you next week.

Bye everyone.
