Well I figured sewing would be one of the things that'd be harder to take with you, but sounds like you are managing rather well on that one. xD
Ah two week's worth of clothes is quite a bit. If you can do laundry there somehow, maybe you can decrease it by half.

I probably can. Always feels a bit rude though. "Hi I'm here to visit you now please wash all my clothes!" XD
Also I realised my big suitcase got thrown away in the summer because it broke and I never got around to replacing it. So I have what's supposed to be a weekend bag, and... a lot of tote bags? Haha oh I'm going to look like a bag lady XD

I'm sure they understand with a visit that long though. Then again, if I'd do a two week visit I would of course ask beforehand if it's okay.
Oh god. That is going to be messy. I do wish you the best of luck with that. xD

I'm sure she'll say it's fine, it's my mother after all XD But it does put extra strain on their resources.
I'm glad I'm going to have help with carrying them XD One year I went home on the train, which wasn't good at all. Four hour journey ended up being so crowded I had to stand the whole time with my giant suitcase, handbag, laptop case, and shoe bag.

Besides, it's just one laundry turn, not too bad I'd say.
Ohhh my god. You can't even travel for four hours over here I think unless you want to go to Belgium OR just have really bad train/bus connections (waiting time added), so that really sounds terrible to me. XD Indeed great you're gonna have help.

Not gonna lie, it put me off getting the train home for life XD Our train system is just stupid and slow. It takes nearly 2 hours to get from one side of London to the other. Mostly because you can never go anywhere in a straight line, and if you have more than 2 changes to make, you can guarantee at least 1 train is late, cancelled, or too busy for you to get on.

Haha, I totally understand. I've been on a train to London once from the harbor, and golly I do not like the trains they have there at all.
But yeah, having to get on another train always sucks. There is always something bound to go wrong.

Plus if you get stuck on the same train for your whole journey there's always the chance there will be a drunk, homeless, creepy guy hanging around!

That tends to depend on the hour I assume...

I dunno, I've seen a tramp asleep on the tube in the middle of the day XD He stank, too. Mostly of alcohol and urine. Makes you afraid to sit on the seats ever again D:
