As title really, this is really just a little check in thread for me, however anyone with a list is welcome to join me.
We don't have to be out for another week or two, but I would really like to get it done so we can get cleaned & little paint jobs done & also clean the new place before we move in.

So first thing is emptying a cupboard to find the packing stuff so that we can arrange the room that everything will get stored in.
There will almost certainly be spiders.

Ah happy to share the pain ! We are moving on Saturday, I'm 26 weeks pregnant and starting a new contract today...
I have been spending the weekend wishing I wasn't quite so obsessive about cleaning everything before packing it!
Our next massive mission is buying fridge freezer and dishwasher and getting delivery sorted.

Yay! I'm 35 weeks. I just looked at the app & first on the list it says 'try to rest as much as you can'! Yeah right.
I wish more things were cleaner I have to admit. But then where we're moving into isn't that clean, so in some ways I think it'll be as easy to just do it when we get there.
Anyway. Onwards and upwards.

Oh wow, 35 weeks! You win hahah. I cleaned out some cupboards in the new place at the weekend and there were still pencil marks on the insides where the shelves were put in... so inside of cupboards not cleaned since kitchen put in, some time in the 90s!!! Erk.
But by the time I'm done with it it's going to be clean and sparkly and gorgeous.
Good luck with the spiders!

Joy. I don't think it's that bad, but there's soap scum all over the shower screen, so that will all need a good scrub.
We'll be doing a little run later so I'll get it all sprayed down then.
I have done our overnight bag and clothes we will need soon. Heart failed me as I just looked at the enormous cupboard. But it will be fine, some of it is already boxed and bagged.
Ps start packing now, there is always more than you think!
