In know what you mean I made loads of lists during my maternity leave (I have 3) and wanted to get everything organised and ready I spose it is part of our nesting really. I know towards the end with number 1 I was bored out of my mind cos everything was done and cleaned I was sick of waiting. Then she came along and don't think I sat down for another year lol!! Enjoy your lists I love them !!! x

well done on possibly getting a swap - i'll keep my fingers crossed that it all works out for you.
Bet you're whittling your way through your list, you always do.
Been wondering whether i should ask if you've heard any more from that bloke who calls himself your father or has he crawled back under the rocks he belongs under? Hope i haven't opened a can of worms an caused upset with asking.

Hi, just wanted to pop in and say all the best and good luck with baby - and the house swap! I wish I was half as organised as you are!!! I am on maternity leave myself but never seem to get much done (and I don't watch TV) - just feel tired and want to sleep all the time and I still have a month longer than you to go!!! I will stick around and pick up some tips off you if you don't mind!

Im not being very organised today, I got all organised with my lists but havent actually done any of it....
Lemon tree... speaking of my dad, I got a claims form ect through the post today. I called him and reiterated my offer of £5 a month - told him my reasons e.g maternity leave so loosing 600 a month, on DMP but he wont accept it and said he was taking me to court - thats fine, I dont care anymore, I spoke to debt management company who advised it would result in us having a CCJ but it will be gone in 6 years and he even said every 2nd person you walk past on the street will have one and he doesnt think it will effect us getting a mortgage in 6 years which is good .... that man though is hated so much. He started going on about my mum saying she drops her knickers for everyone and all this rubbish which is untrue, I told her and she laughed and said she wished she had time to but now she is about to be a granny is more rushed off her feet than ever! He said some really horrible things about her but I admire the way she just brushes them off and tells me he is a fool and not to worry about it and he speaks rubbish so she doesnt care. I love my mum
I think he has also been spying on me... he kept saying I see you have a new car - bought new one in Dec and I see B has a new van - we only got it last week so feeling a bit freaked and a bit scared to leave the flat so defo hopng this swap can go ahead and he wont find me!
