    Changed cot bedding so it is all clean when we come back on Sunday
    Put WM on
    Loaded DW.. actually that should be finished now..
    Put away some more of Freja's clothes..
    Restacked some stuff in my room so I could actually get to Freja's cupboard.

    I have 3 huge crates sorted of stuff the baby has outgrown which I am sorting shortly and vacuum packing it all and stashing it somewhere.. not yet sure where :eek: Then i can see what we actually do have that fits and get her 'too big' stuff organised.

    OH dressing monsterchops then she can have a feed and go in her umperoo while I pack my bag for the weekend and sort through some more of her stuff!

    I have had all the details for a night away next month sitting on the desk - just hesitating about actually doing the bookings - not sure why, just kept getting nervous every time I thought about it - stupid really (it's the first tutorial for my OU course)
    So just went to check again and the hotel I had found which was offering a 'winter deal' is now fully booked, so got another one - £12 more - just because I was stupid
