    Good luck to your hubby, am glad he is starting to feel better too. At least this new car seat lasts a while, they seem to grow out of the first stage seats so quickly.

    Nice to see you stripes.:wave:

    You know how it is Michelle , I pack and DD takes it out, I put it back ...:)

    It's really hard knowing what to pack next especially with having no moving date as yet. We also need to paint the bathroom before we go as damp is slightly showing through on the walls. We need to paint it about 3 times a year so needs doing again now.

    He's better Cath , thank you. I know he wouldn't be right for work though but he's better in himself.

    I sent a bundle off to music magp1e yesterday so lets hope they are super duper in paying out. I'd like it this month!

    Know that one for sure. It's all good fun. And if it takes too long baby blue will start joining in too. My DS2 would be climbing up the boxes while my back was turned for sure.

    I noticed this morning that the wardrobe we have on order has been reduced in a further sale. Don't you just hate it when that happens! Sooo, I phoned them up and got £300 refunded! I'm very pleased about that. It was well worth a phone call. :money: Better off in my pocket rather than theirs. :D

    This morning I've been busy painting my dining table legs and chairs ready for the move and they look fab and all clean.

    I've also listed 2 items on ebay and I have some more to do , need to take advantage of this free listing weekend!

    That phonecall was worth it, clearly it definitely pays to ask! Good luck with ebay, the more stuff you can sell before you move the better.
