Shop until you drop!

So, this morning, we printed out list of 'stuff' for our RTW elective of joy. We headed off to a mahousive shopping centre in search of goodies.

We started off in Boot's stocking up on basic first aid items (enough to treat a small army I might add) unfortunately our malaria prophylaxis all but bankrupted the pharmacy so we had to leave our prescription so they can order in a few trucks worth of doxycycline.

After replenishing our energy stores with yummyness we went in search of the sandals which will henceforth be known exclusively as 'Action Sandals' (what an amazing sentence that is!) Anyway, after trying on a few pairs of monsterishly hideous 'things' we both settled on relatively acceptable pairs of action sandals.

All was going swimmingly, that was until official looking people started running about, seconds before alarms started ringing out all over the place and incomprehensible tannoy messages were blasted out. We only had one shop left to visit but as we entered we were swiftly evacuated. Not to be defeated we took a trip back to the car to deposit our bags, before wondering back into John Lewis. Unfortunately, part of the centre (the part with the shop we wanted to go to) remained off limits whilst some firemen checked out a smoke alarm so we took up residence on the garden furniture in John Lewis for an hour and proceeded to dream about actually having a garden.

After the all clear was given, we finally made it to our final stop to look at rucksacks and other associated travel goodies. We then spent half an hour removing every single rucksack from the wall and trying them on (Much to the annoyance of the staff.) I finally decided upon a huge red monstrosity which should fit our purposes quite well. With that, our shopping trip was complete, our list of things 'to get' extensively reduced, and with a whole new list of things not to forget. Here is where you lot come in... (I like to make my posts interactive)

We're pretty organised and good at keeping lists but everyone always forgets something so what are your suggestions for things we need to take which we might have forgotten (forget the obvious things, we've got those covered.)
