    Not much going on at all money saving wise. Money spending wise, I have just been to look round a nursery for DS - the first of a few no doubt. Walked in the door and was confronted with a two year old covered in shaving foam! - I obviously arrived in the middle of messy play!
    Connor was wide eyed the whole way round, taking everything in bless him.
    Contacted a couple of child minders too today... God I wish I was debt free so I didn't have to go back to work full time!

    What about u?

    Not much planned - made cakes with DD already and just had lunch :) Off to storytime at the library soon and will avoid spending money :)

    I too had to return to work full time after both of mine (although now work part time which is lovely, but the money is a problem). I had a wonderful cm for mine in London - got a FAB c/m now for ds (22 months) and DD goes to nursery (4 yrs). Good luck with your decision - you just *know* when you find the right place. Don't stop until you get that!

    Sometimes ebay can be like that, eh? I ha great success at first, but then a whole load of things didn't sell and it really annoyed me! Would you be able to car boot what you can't ebay?

    I might be able to if I store it for a while, I don't have a lot of stuff atm. But the rate that DS is growing, I should be able to do a lot of baby clothes... and the loft is due for a sort out! I've also had a wooden rocking chair (not a posh one) on freecycle for ages, but no one seems to want that either. I'll have to keep a look out and see when the next car boot in my area is.

    oooh shame I'm not in your area - I'd love a wooden rocking chair lol :D

    I put a few things on freecycle that I thought would go but no one seemed to want - strange isn't it sometimes.
