Also need to get recycling out for collection tomorrow so I may need to borrow a neighbours bin... mine is heaving!
Mothercare delivery has arrived.. got a lovely zebra tshirt for tiddles with matching leggings.. she will love it! And of course a few bits for squeak.. crib sheets mainly!
I am going to sort a heap of 3-4 girly stuff into a binbag and bung it on Gumtree/netmums rather than individual bits on ebeast.. and the unsaleable stuff has gone to nursery and it is mainly next/boden/etc so would £35 for the whole binbag be unreasonable? I could accept offers then I guess..
I am desperate for the school uniformcash can you tell?LB moment 10/06 Debt Free date 6/6/14Hope to be debt free until the day I dieMortgage-free Wannabee (05/08/30)6/6/14 £72,454.65 (5.65% int.)08/12/2023 £33602.00 (4.81% int.)0 -

Mummyslittleboy - thanks for your welcome. Although I've been reading this thread for ages - I forgot about the Christmas Tree thing!

Kezlou ow, you poor thing!:( I've heard of people being allergic to raspberry leaves. I had a run-in with a Rue plant many years ago, and still have scars to show for it..
Its awful isn't it. I just have everything in pots as i only have a yard, so i feel gutted.My plants are the only greenery we have. Just hope i don't develop any more allergies.
By the way, well done with taking the dog for a walk:T:T:T fantastic!!!
toots:- hope all gone well with the app.
macpep:- oh the poor things x hope they get better soon x
hi amanda
piggers sounds very reasonable, i mean one piece of boden is expensive so a whole bag is worth it.
Well i have spent the past couple of hours doing paperwork, it all looking so much nicer now.
Didn't take DS1 to the dentist, it got really hot as i started walking. Could feel my hands burning so thought sack it. So rearangd it for tomorrow morning 9am. Its only a 6 month review so its all good.
Have to see the speech therapist at 2:30 so going to risk it in ten minutes.0 -
