Hopefully, by posting publicly, I will succumb to the weight of expectation and guilt and be able to post progress every so often. Feel free to indulge in public butt-kicking. I respond well to humiliation.
In the meantime, I'd better get in one last faff for old time's sake and contemplate the procrastination opportunities this list presents.

Wow! I read your list and now I think I need a nap! It's a little early to be "nesting" already, isn't it? :)
Excellent (rubs hands etc)!!! Still looks very like my list (should be) and has been happening ove the last year - but don't forget to program 'Me' time, and tired time and knitting time! - Put them on the list too!
And when you're finished there, I've got this spare room that scares me so much I keep the door closed ALL the time.
Best of British with it.
good lord. im exhausted just reading it! i do wish you luck with it but i dont think anyone will want to try and guilt into doing any of it (other than the nursery stuff) given that particular project you're working on. also, could we have a due date please so baby knitting can start? (or did you already say that, something about june?) you dont get to have all the fun!
I hadnt thought of it as nesting (just getting prepared), but I think youre onto something there Alwen!
And my due date: 3rd July. PJ arrived smack on his due date, but Im not making any promises ;-)
So when you do all this stuff today, what are you going to do tomorrow??!!
(heh!)
I'm tired just reading that list. I'm going to have to stop visiting your blog, Georgie. You're making me feel like a slug.
Also, my husband (the mover) is hung up on you needing two shipping containers. He wants to know if you really meant the 40-ft shipping containers, or maybe something else? Because his mind is a bit blown if you meant what he knows as "shipping containers." :)
I'm feeling a wee bit behind the times...but then again, I'm always the last to know...
That baby is going to be the most knitted for baby in the world. Big hugs of congrats.
Wow. You are an ambitious woman. I could transfer most of those directly onto my own list. Well, except for those nursery, baby things. No more baby things here! Although, I am trying to get Em's stuff organized so she can take it out of here and put it into her own house. I guess that counts as moving baby's stuff.
All this AND growing a baby?
The second you need a friend's house to escape to, you have my number. Use it!
OK. You're making me nervous - sit down already, with a cup of tea!
ok, this list is making me thirsty & tired!! I am (patiently) awaiting another blog post though.... You are my new Goddess of all things crafty! ;)
