Hey Becky, its good that you have already gotten your packing out of the way! 57kilos..what are you carrying in those suitcases! (depending what type of suitcases you are carrying, there are some which are really light and durable, so opting for one of those might lower the amount on the scales). Don't worry too much about your visa and ticket, you should get that tomorrow or Wednesday (if you havent by tomorrow evening then I suggest you ring them). I still have 38 days left before I fly out (not that I am counting or anything!) so I am packing but very slowly! Though each time I venture out to the shops, I feel the urge of buying clothes, like that to die for coat from Zara costing £130! (I didn't buy it!).
£500 pounds should be enough, I spoke to someone from EK and they said that amount should be more than enough to get by.
I guess you should make the best of your last few days in the UK as you will soon be heading to better climes! Oh and you'll have an amazing time too!
