And I felt all sad

One was originally ds1s

Bought a second for the twins


Then reused it for newest baby but now he is too big


These are the car seats we brought them home from hospital in


I know you will all understand the slightly sad feeling of time passed that can never be regained


And newest baby has shoes now, too


The day looms when he will

Leave for university (or so it feels!)


What items have you found it hard to part with?


Shoes... If I could I would keep them all

I was sad to have to sell the pram I had for biggest sb to fund the double buggy we now need - It was lovely having him lying in it and then sitting and facing me - we had good chats and it was nice and snug. Smallest has been shortchanged by never parent facing and being in the p&t cocoon.


Other than that, worryingly, pretty much everything else is still in the loft...hmm...

I've kept a favourite outfit from every stage. There's somthing about holding it, feeling the fabric, and seeing the pattern that speaks volumes more than any photograph ever could. Of course this drives poor Husband mad when he pulls open the wrong drawer looking for 2T clothes but gets a strange mix of too tiny rompers and socks instead!

it's weird, i'm not at all sentimental about that stuff. I do keep things like the babies' hospital tags from when they were born and keep meaning to put them in a scrap book along with pics of christenings/birthdays etc...one day will do it! to be honest I didn't enjoy the baby stage with my first, and am not much more with my second, so guess am not so wistful about it. I think I must be a bit strange because in fact am desperate to get rid of everything as soon as number 2 is finished with it (perhaps trying to underline that def stopping at two?!).


BUT - certain foods and smells etc can take me right back. We re-found a lullaby with ducks that tinkle round recently, used to play it to distract my first during fraught nappy changes, and the sound just transports me right back to his early days, it's quite an odd feeling.

I'm torn between feeling sad about time passing and pleased to clear some space! I've kept daughter's 1st shoes and will probably keep a few of her nicest baby clothes when I get around to sorting them out. Same for new baby. Think I will be sad to sell equipment e.g moses basket will have to go soon. Suppose it makes it seem unlikely we'll ever have number 3 but we simply don't have the room to store everything just in case...

      We Are Blighty Scam on Lordship Lane

      By Monkey_vs_Robot · Posted

      From the Fundraising regulator link: "we concluded that it was more likely than not that donors could have been misled by confusing messaging or fundraising materials. This includes materials suggesting a link with a well-known national veterans’ charity, which the CIC has since confirmed it does not work with. We were also concerned about the costings in some of the fundraising materials that the CIC could not show good enough evidence for. There was also enough information available for us to conclude on balance that some fundraisers for the CIC acted in an aggressive and unprofessional way towards both potential donors and public officials."   Some of the money may make it to the people they say but there are better ways to support veterans

      When you say "scam", do you mean that the money collected is not going to where they say it is?

      Looking to borrow an upholstery cleaner

      By Sue · Posted

      There's a Library of Things in East Dulwich now, based at the Leisure Centre. https://participate.libraryofthings.co.uk/dulwich If you click on "Explore the Things" the things don't seem to be specific to Dulwich, so I'm not sure if every library has every thing, but there is a Rug Doctor and a steam cleaner on the list (not specifically an upholstery cleaner).
