Other than love, of course...
Ideas please! We've got 3.1 and 4.4 yo boys coming to live with us on an SGO. Our SW has asked us to come up with a costing estimates for our removal expenses and furniture by tomorrow morning. And I am at work...
The list keeps expanding, and I have forgotten what little ones need. My own son muddled along with whatever hand-me-downs came our way but these 2 need something better (and we won't have the time to acquire through friends etc). Assume we have nothing.
Bed, mattress, duvet, pillow, mattress cover, duvet cover, pillow case, sheets
Wardrobe, chest of drawers (or combined), carpet
High chair / booster seat [what do 3 & 4 yo need?]
Pushchair/stroller
Car seats
Anything else?
I've been getting estimates from Argos, Ikea & John Lewis websites & choosing the cheapest (unless they look like they will fall apart quickly). Gawd knows what SS would consider reasonable.
And removal costs - I've always done it myself but can't face it this time with 3 kids, a job and a week's notice. I'm in London, 2 bed flat moving only a couple of miles (fingers crossed) - any idea of how much this will be?
I wish SS wouldn't keep asking us to do things at the last minute. Is is like this for other people?
ta for your help
