I think that's about it for now and it should all be done really withint he next two weeks. I feel overwhlemed a bit and not sure which one to tackle first?

Oh and I'm due my first grading inspection (was due in March actually)

Well I would drop the ironing for a start!! No bigger waste of time has there ever been invented!! But good luck with that, I think you need a fairy godmother to appear with a magic wand!!

[lauraj]

wow i thought my to do lists were bad. I usually start with the most urgent things and work my way down I always end up forgetting something though!

[NicoleW]

I just phoned ofsted but realised I don't have the full address lol. They said that they can send out a certificate and they will only ask me to do a risk assessment on the new house so no inspection is needed which is great!

I really need to get more organised as a person I reckon...

[PerkyEars]

Go through that list and cross off anything that isn't house move related/absolutely essential? Is now really the time to tackle reorganising your paperwork systems?

[Helen Dempster]

Oh my...

Yup, Good luck with that!

[loocyloo]

i wouldn't worry about cleaning toys/buggies etc or even ordering trampoline etc. do that once you have moved.

do you need to wash the curtains? are you taking them or leaving them? if leaving them, the new owners might not keep them, or if taking them, wash them once you are moved in.

and i second leaving your paperwork! as long as parents have your new address and you have signed amendments to your contract thats all you need.

ofsted won't send out your new certificate until you have moved! ( as they will be sending it to the new house ) they may change it the day or 2 before, but only if you are not currently minding. if you are minding up until the day before you move, you need your certificate to be for that house, then, if you intend to start work again the day ( or 2 ) after moving, you need a ceertificate valid for the new house in order for you to mind!

good luck !!!

Aye I spoke to Ofsted today and they said as soon as I get my address and confirmation of me moving in to let them know and they'll amend it and send it to the new address before I've moved in and as long as I've done my risk assessments for the house I should be fine.

We are moving on the saturday and I start work again on the monday (only work monday and tuesdays)

I'm taking the curtains with me, they are mine. I can't wash them at the new house because we don't have a tumble dryer, and there are no radiators in the house (night storage heating) and the weather isn't nice enough to shove out on the line.

Ordered the trampoline, sand and water tray, moving van and fridge freezer today, also hot washed all the soft toys. I will sort through toys when I'm packing them up I think, throw away broken ones and try to get them all together.

Still can't find any ****** cardboard boxes!

have you looked on ***** local board? often forces wanting boxes moved! i will have loads in 2 weeks (aldershot) if you really need lol!

[NicoleW]

Aldershot.. Now why does that ring a bell?

Will you have any before the 28th of April? ;p

But if your inspection is due then your change of address may well prompt it.
