Mums get organised in 2013

happybird71

Well done! I love eBay but I'm definitely guilty of buying more than selling. I also love Gumtree. I'm not sure if you have baby car boot sale type things near you fluffysox but I plan to sell all the baby things in our house at one of those when our family is complete. I'm just back from a women's conference in Lancashire with 9 others. I chose a good weekend. Poor baby was throwing up constantly, 3 viewers arranged to come in the space of 2 hours and my hubby deserves a medal!!

Got an offer for the house today and I can't wait to start packing/chucking!!

Yay on the offer! We are decided that we are both desperate to move now so the declutter has to happen asap.

We have lots of carboot sales round here- my mum is an addict, one reason why we have too much baby stuff and too many toys lol. The other grandparents love buying stuff in antique shops. So a double whammy of junk lol.

Not much to report Ebay items all collected or despatched apart from one more collection that's arranged for tomorrow. Suggested to DH that he use my dressing table as a desk for now to save buying furniture when we are hoping to move. So much more space without his huge desk and huge chair.
I'm guessing its a free listing weekend again this weekend and have already selected a few items to list.
Also need to start another charity bag.
Had to send DS to childminders on my "day off" again today as still snowed under marking. Also did two loads of washing and a quick grocery shop but not much else. Haven't meal planned but we've got a meal at friends at weekend and a parents eve Monday (which means chips afterwards) and freezer is quite full so we'll be fine til next Weds. May need to spend my Wednesday working next week too (reports deadline Thursday) but fingers crossed after that workload should be more manageable. Just glad I'm not full time- that would mean working 6 days a week at the moment.

Hey all,
I've missed getting organised but it's been a huge effort to get washed and dressed lately!

14 weeks pg today so hopefull the glow will come and i will not feel tired any longer! please let it be soon!

Glad to see your all still battling on!

Congratulations on the pregnancy- you're 6 days ahead of me. So let us know when your glow appears lol. Don't remember feeling like I was glowing last time although others said I was- I think they were fibbing to be nice.

Thank you fluffysox! Congrats to you too!

I had decided to just tidy up this AM! But have done nothing so far! Going to meet up with friends at 12! And then DS1 nees picking up at 3.30 and taking to football at 6!

I'm honestly considering a cleaner just for a month!

Welcome to Wifeandmummy
Not loads done today but one load of washing done and another put away. Some ironing done and grocery shop- mainly just fruit and veg from greengrocers. Also one class set of reports done- one more set to do tomorrow. And checked all our accounts. Hoping work eases off soon so I have the energy to do more sorting out at home.
Wish more people were posting what they're up to on here too as that would give me motivation.

Hello all,

I have been awol for a couple of months but have made it back for a catch up on the thread. Will probably continue to be more of a lurker than a poster as I just never seem to have the time left over to stick to posting my list every week but I will try. :-)

Congratulations on the pregnancy's ladies :-) There seem to be lots of pregnant people around me at the moment making me broody again!

Hope everyone is well and hello to the new ladies.

My list for next week....

1/ Sort out football for DS again.
2/ Try and sell some more things on fb.
3/ Find wallpaper I like for living room.
4/ Price up new carpet.
5/ File away last couple of weeks paperwork.
6/ Start looking at activities/days out for summer hols.


Just a small list for this week as well as my regular daily/weekly jobs too....

checking in for the weekend.

Lovely and sunny here which give me motivation to clean and tidy....... but DS's want to play outside which means I need to keep an eye on then so heard to be anywhere other then Kitchen.
Which is good in a way because it means I can give it a deep clean.

Got some bits ending on ebay this afternoon. GRR hate those last few hours as they don't finish until about 4 but I'd like to get em listed again locally if they aren't gonna to sell. What a PAIN!!!!
some ending tomorrow as well.

then i list something else (quite large) locally. someone wants it..... but can't come till Monday. Then when i said i'd let her know if it didn't go over the weekend wanted my address.......... ermmm NO - will give you my address IF you arrange to collect not for the fun of it!!!

decided we didn't need enough for a food delivery this week so gonna have a 'use it up' week and go get the bits i do need tomorrow when DH is off work.
