    Great thread!

    We have been busy over the holidays getting the house baby proof and to finish stuff we should have done a long time ago.

    A few ideas:
    * clean out garage or property from any excess garbage
    * get anything installed or put in that you have been thinking about
    * get tax return done
    * do any shopping for the house that you haven't got around to, any shopping at all for that matter as it will be a lot harder with a newborn
    * get all the dry cleaning up to date, quilts etc
    * get any applicances fixed that are broken or need repair i.e. dishwasher, oven etc
    * change name on driver's licence if applicable - I hadn't picked up our wedding certificate at the registry of BD&M until last week!
    * redeem any award points for credit cards
    * go to any restaurants you've always wanted to go to
    * go to the movies
    * go anywhere you love that is non-child friendly
    * catch up with friends
    * organise your baby shower

    Great!! These suggestions are great and some I didn't even think of!!!

    Carpets are definately on top of the list as ours are gross!! So will get them cleaned or new ones laid down.....probably cleaned is the more $$ wise at the moment

    Love the idea of a cleaner for the bathroom and Oven. DH does a great job on the showers but he leaves a lot of other 'areas'. Mum might be hired for this I think

    I am lucky to have leather seats in my car so its all nice and clean ready for the car seat!!!

    Keep the suggestions coming...I can't think of anymore now
