I am officially OLD

That's right. I am.

I just ordered my first set of Tupperware.



You can tease me now.

I *might* be starting to move on to my nesting stage of this pregnancy. Considering I spent last weekend on my hands and knees (!) pulling apart and scrubbing every inch of my refrigerator. Add to that dusting and polishing skirting boards, vacuuming, windexing every square inch of glass in the house, mopping..... you get the point.

I have made plans with myself to clean out the kitchen pantry this weekend and get rid of food that expired 3 years ago. Then when my tupperware arrives I can sort all the flours and sugars etc into these wonderful plastic containers that I can make labels for and stack neatly.

Seriously, someone slap me now. I know what I am doing is so far removed from how I am normally I just can't stop myself. Fiance thinks it's a friggin hoot, as he is the one who normally does all the cleaning. I am a tidier and want to have things in the right spot, but I don't care much about dust or fingerprints on glass, or the vacuuming.....

I also fully intend to go to Ikea first thing on Wednesday morning to purchase some pretty storage boxes and cane baskets to sort out the spare room (which is currently a dumping ground).

I do hope this phase at least lasts until I sort this house out. That would be fabulous. At least it gives me something to do rather than just sit on my ass watching foxtel all day.

So, you're pregnant, but it's Tupperware that makes you feel like a grown-up. Awesome.

tupperware is rad.

you can never have too much of it.

and yes, the cleaning phase will last until everything in your house is 200% sparkling and spotless.

trust me, i know. i even scrubbed every inch of both bathrooms with a toothbrush and bleach.

i spent hundreds on cleaning products and brooms and mops and scrubbing brushes. it actually was a bit ridiculous, but i was determined that the new house we'd just moved into would be CLEAN!

Jenn- Yep! When I think of tupperware I used to think of 1950's style housewives.... something I NEVER thought I would become.

Exp Mistakes - I thought as much. I am actually looking forward to tomorrow (my day off) to start clearing out our spare room (junk room) and getting it organised. I have so many plans for these few weeks before the baby I hope I can fit it all in.

Your post scared me.

Not.

I refuse to buy tupperware its too damn expensive. Since I lose all my plastic containers I will only buy cheap ones that wont really matter if they get lost!

Tupperware isn't old. Anyway, it beats Rubbermaid. Sometimes you just have to go for the good stuff and let people say what they will.
