    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?

    I bought a black bag of boys next clothes for the same price only a couple of weeks ago so I should think it would sell but like you say you could always accept offers on it if it doesn't I would try putting it on pre loved as well goodluck hope you manage to get the uniform money.

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

    I've managed to concentrate on the living room today - and I'm so pleased to see a clear floor for a change!!

    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.

    Decided my morning's hard work should be rewarded so I am decluttering our tv recorder, have finished all of Britain's Got Talent as I had a friend on there and now I am indulging in a bit of Michael Buble :T

Will take bins down on the way to pick up LO from school.
