Wowee all that and colic. You're magic! What's your age difference? Mines 22 months. Plus I ebf which is apparently the 'problem'.
It's good to have that as its like a little income and challenge to set yourself all in one go. Have you been released from your hoarding demons now? Now I sell my stuff I feel a lot freer and I really view stuff a different way. When you think about value definitely. Never considered resale value before. It's going to be weird when I can afford things again. X

The age gap is 33 months. 22 months must be hard work! I combi feed and did the same with little jwil. He was rubbish at weaning and still is really picky, and did not sleep through til he was gone 2 (and still often doesn't!) so ebf is not the reason!

I'm definitely over my hoarding demons - clearing the relatives house did that to me. I still have a long way to go though. I have hundreds if not thousands of books alone, and want to read them before I get rid of them! Not much reading going on at the moment though!

I don't think I'll really be wanting stuff when I've got the money. I would like to be able to buy nice quality items though, rather than just buying the cheapest because 'it'll do'.

Have you seen the KonMarie thread on here? That is addictive and very inspiring.

Little miss decided that 3am was waking up time today

Shattered and a headache. BIL is here, so if it's the same tonight, I've not even got anywhere to go.

Little jwil was also up several times, and then to top it all off, I came down this morning to find the dog had destroyed two Christmas presents which I had admittedly stupidly left downstairs. She also destroyed a bottle of olive oil. I was very much not impressed!

Had to go out to replace the presents and drop a parcel at the sorting office.

Otherwise not doing an awful lot today. DH has a load of stuff going out on ebay today, but at least I don't have to worry about posting it for a couple of days

jwil

Anyway, I hope you all have an absolutely fabulous Christmas!

Well Christmas is over, DH is back to work so it all begins in earnest now!

Nursery is closed this week, so may not achieve huge amounts, but we'll see how it goes.

We had a lot of sales over the last few days, so a good number of parcels to go out when the post office opens again. Some more going out today.

DH has given me amazon prime and a tv stick so will be making an effort to declutter dvds that I can watch on there instead.

I have also pulled out a few items ready to go on ebay, and some more to go straight to car boot.

Hope everyone is well and had a lovely Christmas

Love your planning despite a newborn.. Good idea re DVDs. We have hundreds and am wondering if we just Music Magpie them... But it'll be a wrench. Big movie watchers in our house.

Would make the front room look less cluttered though :think: maybe I can swing it with the family that way!

Have a great time off work and enjoy. Smell the lilies where and when you can!

Xx
