1.	You are going to the Hawaii for a dream holiday on the sun-kissed beaches. What do you take with you? Swimming things and a couple of outfits for day and evening. Swimming things, several evening outfits, raincoat, daywear and an anorak. What you are wearing – you’ll buy your swimming gear at the airport.
2.	You are going camping this summer. What do you consider most essential? A fully equipped, monster sized caravan. Your Swiss army knife. An outfit to wear at the camp disco.
3.	You go shopping for food at the supermarket for the basics – milk, eggs, and bread. What do you take home with you? Milk, eggs and bread. Chocolate, cereal, ice-cream….. you forgot the milk. Milk, eggs, bread, pasta and some fruit and vegetables.
4.	You are moving house. What do you do about packing up? Pack everything yourself and label most of the boxes. Pack everything yourself, ruthlessly throwing out all that isn’t essential and carefully labeling boxes. Nothing at all – you are still stuffing things into plastic bags when the movers arrive.
5.	You need your passport to prove your identity. Where is it? Where it always is. You haven’t a clue. It’ll take you ten minutes, but you find it.
