I spent a lot of yesterday sorting out my wardrobe pre-move (no house yet)
Decluttered a bag of maternity clothes, a bag of what-was-I-thinking clothes and a bag of size 12 clothes that I'm not going to fit into for ages so may as well get rid of (good excuse to buy new ones when I lose weight). Very pleased with myself, now stuck them on freecycle (apart from the WWIT clothes which will go anonomously to a charity shop!)

Boys stayed at Granny's last night after she took them shoe shopping so I have until 12.30 with just baby. Hoping to manage the tip run that I've been planning for weeks. So far have tidied kitchen and washed up, rest of house is pretty tidy still as we keep having viewings so I've had to keep on top.

Today's List

Washing on
Fold and put away yesterday's washing
Get rid of car seats and clothes (on freecycle)
Tip run
Find meal plan and cook dinner...

a window cleaner who cleans neighbours windows knocked my door and asked if i wanted mine cleaned every month so i said yes, he done them straight away so now i can see the sun shining outside!!! didnt realise they were that bad haha!!

only trouble is you can see the marks inside now so another job i have to do. i will do that after i have been shopping as really cant be bothered now and i hate cleaning windows so i probably wouldnt get out at all today if i started them now!!!

Welcome all the new people!! and snap diamond_mum I am due the same week as you although ds arrived at 37 weeks so I am hoping this one might come at the same time and be a May baby. We moved ds out of the nursery and in to his big boys bedroom last weekend. I am now just trying to sort out the chaos that comes from not having a spare room to dump everything in!

Ragz - I hope you get rid of your stuff on freecycle ok. I got rid of some furniture on monday but no one wants a TV I am trying to give away ??! I might try e-bay start at 99p to get a different audience.

I left the TV that blew up on drive for OH to take to the tip and when I came back from doc on Saturday someone had taken it!! Mum didnt see a thing - just hope they dont kill themselves when they try using it!!!

Back from Doc again with DD4 and now she has a perforated ear drum and more antibiotics. Poor thing still not allowed back to school either.

Ragz - you any closer to finding a house? I am planning on placing a very low offer on a house on Friday but expecting it to be rejected. But got to be worth a go.

Lol, funny how things work like that, can't give TVs away but leave one unattended...

No luck yet, we have to have a garage which narrows it down a lot... spent all morning looking, along with best mate and MIL who are also looking for houses!
Good luck with your offer, you never know unless you try... where in the country are you?

I know what you mean about garage, I am worried cos alot of the houses we are looking at do not have a garage and we currently have a double garage that is stuffed full of stuff, alot pf which is kids stuff that we use.

As for the TV I have heard of people who have left stuff out with sign saying free and no one has taken but when they change the sign to for sale it gets taken no probs!! I just worried someone will blow themselves up and then come claim off us. Lets be honest it could happen, if a burglar can sue if he injures himself falling off your roof!!
