Top tips for prepping ds & I for nursery/work ft

[Icelollycraving]

I go back to work ft next month,ds will go to nursery. They do settling in sessions.
In lots of ways,I think it's for the best. I have not met any other mums etc in the time & have no friends or family close by.We have been to baby group but it was only for 6 weeks. It's just us everyday,I think it will be great for ds to be with other children & also the nursery staff.
I want my salary back!
I even realised I will have lunch hours all to myself when I can read a magazine etc!
Please give me any top tips on getting us both ready,it's been our little bubble for his first (almost) year. Dh will be doing drop off/pick up as nursery is near his work. I've got him into the routine of their lunch time etc.
Any tips/advice very welcome.

My biggest bit of advice is to start really talking to your DH about how you are going to run things like washing, cleaning, food shopping, packing nursery bag, meals etc etc. You both need to get a morning/evening routine going so that you both do equal amounts of chores.
Set up your online food shopping
Do some meal planning so that you know you have the right stuff in, and whoever is on dinner duty can just get on with it. And emergency fresh pasta and sauces in the freezer for cba days.
Stock up on birthday/other occasions cards so you aren't spending valuable time going out for them.
Start getting up when you will need to for work, and pretend you, ds, and dh have to get out dressed and equipped when you will need to for work.
If dh uses Outlook at work, then he might want to put recurring appointments at 'leaving to pickup' time so no one puts in meetings, and he gets a reminder
