I'm trying to pack stuff up to take to the car boot and charity shop to make some space and I'm rubbish at getting it done too. Keep getting distracted with things I find that I'd forgotten I had

Top tips are to bang some music on and set targets. I promise myself a brew and a biscuit if I clear a certain amount of floor space! It's annoying because you just know you'll feel better when it's all done but can't quite seem to get to the "done" point

lol thats exactly it i keep finding photos of me and friends and end up just sitting there thinking
we only moved in here in feb and collected alot more not to mension all the baby stuff aswell!!!
and btw huge congrats on your pregnancy
you need to get yourself a ticker

targets is what i done last time too, it just seemed to be never ending though

manda - i'm having a crisis now too as i was supposed to be moving out at the end of the month but it was only a 1 bdrm so we have to find a 2 bdrm now it's so hard. have to save up for a deposit and legal fees too..

well we have to leave here as cant afford the rent its £600pcm the place we are moving into is hubbys uncles place its same size but he only wants £400pcm dont need dept or anything which is good
dint pay a dept on this place as was on housing benifit so we dont get nothing back
and because the new place is only temp till the baby comes we are hoping council will find us a place even if its only 1 bed for the meantime

Well good luck both of you - I know what a nightmare it can be. Luckily we didn't move house a couple of months ago or else we'd have a massive mortgage now and would be panicking about how we'd afford it.

Manda - working on the ticker thing but not very IT savvy here...

 

[Manda&Thomas]

well ive managed some lol done 5 boxes (mostly scrabooking stuff and books) thrown out 2 black bags of rubbish
dint think i had that much rubbish
hehe glad to hear you are working on the ticker they are quite easy when you get the hang of them

I hate moving, it's so stressful. We moved up here from Devon a year ago with our life packed in the back of a long wheel based van.
It took 18 hellish hours, never again

 

[Manda&Thomas]
