Going back to work tips

Every night I leave out my outfit for myself and my little one, also do sock curls for office days, premake the bottle for nursery and lay out all her bits. Probably sounds obvious but it definitely helps, the mornings are still chaotic but anyway 🙈

@CeeCee sock curls and slicked back buns are literally a life saver for office days 😂

I try to have my work clothes ready, luckily it’s a uniform as I wouldn’t manage finding enough ‘real’ clothes right now, especially with the lack of sleep 🥲. I try and have little ones nursery bag packed the night before and his clothes laid out. Either way, mornings still end up being a hugeeee rush, so we haven’t cracked it! 😂.

I do exactly the same and do a roast chicken most Sundays! It’s also my boy’s favourite meal as well. My husband will also do something in the slow cooker on a Sunday too so we have that for lunches and dinners too when we need quick options. Pack his bag and my bag the night before. I’m pumping at work and it’s a pain to wash it every night but it has helped me be organised and just sort both bags at the same time. Food shop on Ocado. We rarely do top up shops now and meal planning is much better and easier too. And Little Dishes - absolute heroes in this household for nursery days when he’s only slept for 45 mins in the day and needs an early bed time. Absolute quick win and he will demolish them

Pretty much All of the 👆 plus i now fold my LO clothes from the drier rack already in “ made outfit” ( bodysuit, trousers and jumper x3 for each day) so every night i just empty her little bag and get her clothes in without having to go trough her drawers. A Little help for me :)

I’m so behind… what are sock curls? These sound great!

@Alice you curl your hair with a sock! Pop the socks in and go to bed and you basically have a bouncy blow dry in the morning!

@Emily yeah I’m thinking online shops are going to have to be a must! Why Ocado out of curiosity? Would you recommend?

@Merion I love this idea! We have to give our nursery 4 outfits so it’s a bit daunting!

Would really recommend. We went with them initially because I got quite a good starter deal using my blue light card, but the quality of the produce is so so good, rarely/never any substitutions and actually much of a muchness cost wise in comparison to tesco where we were previously doing our food shop!

Witchcraft! Thanks I will have a go!

@Alice I find them less work and easier to sleep in than the dressing gown curls!

@CeeCee such a great idea. I always feel better when my hair is curled but never have time to use my tongs!

@Emily we use ocado too. They are great!! Plus it's a 1 hour window for delivery
