I have cleaned and bleached my wheely bin. Everything that goes in to it is double bags so I'm at a loss to as why it was crawling with Maggots this morning luckily it was bin day. :mad:. I keep washing my hands and may have to have another bath. They have freaked me out.

On the good front I found out where the TD door seal was. DH fixed it before leaving for work this morning.

I used wipes for everything - wiping the pushchair, highchair, swing, changing mat as well as the baby so actually probably not that long if you were me!

I've finished filling in the 2 application forms - now I've got to do the accompanying letters which is the hardest bit - at least that will be my 2 frogs for today done!

Well we have used about 20 packs of wipes and Squeak is nearly 1. You shouldn't use them for the first few weeks anyway as they do often make bottoms sore.. though for meconium poops.. I did!

I use them for everything too including shoes and sofas.

Nappies.. I wouldn't buy more than 2 packs of newborn sizes ones before the birth.. it isn't like there will be no shops or nappies is it and 2 packs will last 2-3 weeks.. even if you end up with a section you can get to the shop by then.. I was in tesco 4 days after one of mine!

Hi

Just popped in to say hello!

I am kind of flying this week. But I really need to make some in roads on work at the moment. So I'll be concentrating on that until Monday then hopefully I can get back too flying again properly!

Have just eaten two frogs though. Renewed my Tax Credits :j and told them as well as Child Benefit that DS is staying on at college.

It's so easy to do. Why do I always just leave it and leave it???

Anyway, huggles etc where needed. I might pop in over the next few days , if not see you all on Monday.;)
