More baby preparations

We have been doing more baby preparations over the last couple of days. The main theme has been creating space - both clearing out things we no longer use (or just don't have room for), and creating new places to store the extra things we do need. So, today we started cleaning out the back room. Tomorrow a new chest of drawers arrives for all the new baby paraphernalia, and the Salvation Army truck comes to collect our two old single beds (and maybe, if we can convince them, an old chair from up in the garage!). An old chest of drawers currently resident in the back room gets demoted to garage storage duty. Two new storage bins were bought with Christmas vouchers so that clothes hanging up in the back room can be stored safely in the garage, and the hanger was dismantled and stored. Rocky's nappies are in the machine ready to be pre-washed overnight.

We still don't have a bassinette, but we have started looking at new cars. We looked at a Ford Taurus last week - well priced, but I would like something a little tidier.

Tomorrow the cleanout will continue. Looks like another good washing day, so that in itself should keep me busy!
