Done-Todo

[ailbhe]

Done:

• Found a dentist and made an appointment.
• Rearranged furniture in the main bedroom to increase floorspace and make it possible to get a cot in there.
• Lots of laundry.
• Some washing up.
• Firmed up schedule for the foreseeable future; I have no free time.
• Considered money-borrowing options for getting gas heaters repaired and loft converted pre-April. We probably have options available. Certainly people keep sending us "Borrow Money Now" stuff, and some of it is from reputable banks.

Todo:

• Get to Council offices and apply for (a) Passport to Leisure, and (b) visitors' parking permits.
• Call someone to repair the two broken gas heaters.
• Call the lovely roofer, if he ever answers his phone, to see about getting a skylight installed and maybe a hanging chimney removed.
• Go 'round the local charity shops looking for baby stuff; I may, if I'm careful, be able to get all the clothes we need there.
• Do another set of those daily exercises.
• Draw up a budget for all the DIY and paying other people to DI stuff that has to be done, and see how it fits with our household budget.
• Chase neighbour about gas smell. Having the windows closed all the time can't be healthy.

Yep to all that, I think, including the frequency of the washing!

If you buy lots of clothes, you can get away with washing less often, but a) your storage requirements will greatly increase, paticularly in the laundary basket, b) you will still have to wash some things more frequently than once a week because they have poo on them and c) you'll get even less use out of each item.

Oh, when you do sock shopping in Primark, get at least two identical pairs of each design. So when one gets lost, you've got a pair and a spare rather than a single odd sock.

Katie has piles of clothes as we get given so many, the downside is the fact she has a full size wardrobe, a full size chest of drawers & a small set of drawers to fit it all in.

Yup, I only put clothes in the laudry basket that are "clean" or just have dirt on them. Anything with yucky stains goes straight into the washing machine to be washed that day.

When they are newborns, you don't want a pile of washing as it stinks of milk & poo. You will also need at least 3 changes of outfits yourself a day to be burped up on, leaked on etc & a burp cloth for each feed & more than 1 set of bedding if you have a leak while they're asleep.
