Congrats Alice!

Freakoid - I had one yesterday eve too! How odd. DH says its the bug thats been going round.

JKS - hope you aren't too hungover this morning.

By the way the nursery rang yesterday to say they can have DD after all ????!!!! Don't know what to do now since have already spoken to child minder who we liked. Nursery is easier as nearer to work for bfeeding. Could do compromise and use nursery 1 day a week for first few weeks of keeping in touch days then add on child minder for 2 days a week . therefore keeping options open???

Sunny holidays here. DS excited cos we said we'd take him to a cafe (bless).

Morning

I had grand plans of doing stuff today, but so far i have:

Been to horses
Been to the market, bakers, WHsmith and a clothes shop.

Knackered, and have eaten too many sweeties

Morning!

Alice, that is actually quite a lot of work.

HMHB, that's so sweet! DS excitedly asks 'Walk shop?' Infuriating situation with nursery!

I've been having great fun sorting through the craft stuff I cleared out of ex-mildew cupboard yesterday. there were loads of half-empty boxes, stuff I didn't know what it was etc, so I've been chucking and consolidating.
Not sure where I'm going to store the stuff I'm keeping yet, will see tomorrow when I put everything else back in the cupboard.

HMHB - that's v confusing about nursery now, grr.
Bit hungover actually had a better time than i expected, had interesting people on out table which helped.

Wasting - if you store stuff in those plastic clip boxes they would stay dry wouldn't they?

House is still in that half-chaos state post-carpet-cleaning, really should get on top of things soon.

Afraid not HMHB, DH is out with his mates.

Still not sure what I'm doing with the craft stuff. It's in the backroom at the minute, in a set of plastic drawers, but it's not got wheels and is in front of other shelves. If it has to go back in that cupboard I'll probably get more of those boxes that clip shut.
