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!

you can never have enough baby wipes!!

i used to have at 3 packets on the go at once - one in the changing box, one in the changing bag and one in the living room and i used them for everything like wiping toys and high chair and the sofa and the table esp once weaning and giving them finger foods - unbelievably messy! hoovering at least 4 times a day then!! ive even cleaned the bathroom with them when i ran out of bathroom cleaner and the sink needed cleaning lol.

ok so no more baby wipes and no more nappy buying either by the sounds of it, drat what else can i bulk stock up .......... i do have a bit of a bulk buying addiction, its very rare for me just to buy 1 of something especially if its on offer.

so baby wipes will be used to clean the sofas, wipe down the paintwork and skirting boards, wipe the inside of the car clean, and whatever else uses i can find for them, but they should last me a good while as i was thinking i would use a pack of wipes a week :eek:

ive got a variety of nappies, ive got a pack of size 1, 2 packs of size 2, a box of size 2 and a box of size 3 so i dont think i need anymore of them just yet :rotfl:

im going to go and put another box of dvds away (just 3 more to sort out) and then have some lunch and go to my phisio apt. will be back on later as also have some bits to do in town.

hope all goes well at the counsellor wendy xx
HHC went well, spent it in the kitchen, and it's looking quite acceptable. all that's left to do is a quick wipe of the hob, top of the fridge and mop the floor. really could be done with scrubbing the appliances and doors etc but the worktops and table have been done and that's the main thing.
not sure what i will do after that, i'm having a much needed coffee just now. i suppose it will be the hallway next as it's starting to get a clutter build up :eek:
going to finish my coffee, then on to another HHC 1.45-2.15.
