OMG Clare get hopping, woman! The rule of thumb when moving - anything you think will take one week actually takes three weeks! (mind you that's for an interstate move, prolly less for a couple of suburbs LOL). How long are you going to spend in Italy? I"m sure it will be gorgeous, but your attention will be split by everything that needs doing at home, so the more you get done now the more you will enjoy the trip.

Cally those early starts sound exhausting. Missy E was calling out the other night for Mummy (a rarity) but when I went it she switched to Daddy LOL. We are V tempted to go with the ducky little Ikea bed (starts little, extends to a single bed size later on) but my number one priority is ducted evap aircon (if poss) before summer/surgery so she might get the sad old handmedown that DD1 slept in for 5 years (still in the shed, bit bendy in the middle but will do if needed) LOL.
