Pregnant with baby no3

Hello little one

So now everyone knows we are pregnant with our 3rd Baby. I still can't believe I'm saying this out loud it still feels a bit surreal.

We found out I was pregnant really early, around 2 weeks! I remember putting Phoebe in the pram to go and pick up Poppy from school. I was standing in the line to pick her up everything was fine and all of a sudden I felt sick and dizzy! I thought what the hell was that!?

Once we left the school I thought should I go to the shop and buy a test just incase so i did, thinking nothing of it. It's probably a false alarm... low and behold those positive lines came up good and strong. I was absolutely gobsmacked, nervous and thinking how can we have 3 children. I actually ended up taking 6 test! I did one every few days because i couldn't believe it.

It took a good 6 weeks or so after that to get my head around it all... who am I kidding it's still not sunk in yet. I am now 14 weeks and 2 days pregnant it's been a journey already with 4 early scans before the 12 week one. we are very excited to meet this little one and we can't wait to find out the gender very soon. One more to add to the crazy Duke family.

How to Declutter your Home and Keep it that Way

Time to declutter What helps me destress, be productive and keep myself organised is getting rid of all the bits and bobs i keep laying around the house. Yes, that drawer full of crap and all the kids toys that keep mounting up after Christmas and birthdays. I start with 4 bags; charity, selling, friends/family and bin. You don't have to do all of these in one day, pick a room or an area for one afternoon while the baby sleeps and the toddler is settled with snacks and a colouring book and get busy. *Rooms* Bathroom- the cabinets, products you dont use or are out of date, bath toys, etc... Kitchen- food packaging, out of date products, pots and pans you don't use or need to replace Living room- the mounting of paper work hidden in drawers, kids toys, shoes, etc... Dining room- ( same as above) Bedroom- clothes you don't wear, brought but never used, old bed, bedroom drawers and tables, worn out shoes (good quality shoes can be repaired fairly cheaply s

Money saving Hacks | Christmas | 2020 edition |

It's that time of the year... Remembering all the kids Christmas activities, nursery and school nativity plays, Christmas gift shopping, scheduling friends and family to come over during the holidays, teacher gifts, phonics, cooking the Turkey.... 1- Plan Christmas a year to 6 months in advance I know this sounds nuts but honestly knowing what is happening and who you're visiting makes it a lot easier and less stressful. 2- Buy gifts in the boxing day and January sales. Buy and stock up throughout the year on all the sales. It's amazing how much money you can save by doing this. I manage to save up to £200/£300 by doing this each year. 3- The things you don't think of buying in those sales. Wrapping paper, christmas cards, tape, gift tags, gift bags, Christmas arts and crafts for the kids, stickers, advent calendars (the non-chocolate ones) I brought the Harry Potter charms bracelet advent calendar and frozen 2 advent calendar in Sainsburys

5 creative ways to make extra money

1- sell unwanted items Is it time to do a clear out? Need a little extra money? Sell those trousers you've not worn in 3 months and sell the dress you've only worn twice. Make sure all items are washed, no marks and no rips etc... these are all things that will help you in the selling process. Take lots of photos of the items, compare on other selling sites to make sure you check out your competitors. Good places to sell are facebook pages, Ebay, depop, Amazon, car boot sale and friends or family 2- creative skills Are you creative with woodwork, clay, jewellery making, etc... if so put these hobbies into a place online and sell them! Don't forget to charge for materials, hours per day, time to take photos and uploading,etc. 3- teach another language If you have a second language then good on you, another skill to write down on your cv! Launch a new website of what you can provide, zoom language classes, work sheets, online courses, etc. Make it clear on what you can pr
