Washing at Petit Mom's

And insight of on how we wash our clothes and nappies... we don't own a tumble drier so this is what we do! Any advise would be great on how we can improve this madness as it's just taking over our living area.

Life on a Second Floor Flat

Life on a Second Floor Flat isn't great, especially when there is no lift for us to use. Here's a picture of Gadget Dad pulling Baby Al in the Britax B-Smart up the stairs.

And here's a picture looking down from our main door to the ground floor.

A long way down, right?

Anyway this has become the norm for us and lived with the fact we bump the buggy down the stairs and then pull it up until we finally get to the second floor. It does feel like forever some days and man you can break a sweat from doing it. My mom (who I know reads my blog, hello!) tried to help me but bless her she couldn't as she suffers with problems with her leg and shoulder. She can't get over the fact I do this at least three times a day, one of which I tend to have Gadget Dad with me and that would include our weekly food shopping so not only do we have a pushchair to take up the stairs but we also have heavy bags of shopping.

Been doing this since day one. I use to take Baby Al out nearly every day but a week after Gadget Dad's 2 week holiday ended I was on my own and suffered with back pains just from taking the travel system up and down the stairs every day. I found myself stuck in the flat for a few weeks in pain and the idea of pulling the pushchair up those stairs made me groan.

Some of you may be thinking "Why not leave the pushchair downstairs?" and you'd be right in thinking that would save us a load of aches and pains. However this is where the mailboxes are so parking it there and leaving it gets in the way of the mail boxes, plus it's in our contract with the management company that own the flats we are not allowed to leave anything outside our flat and if we do they are legally allowed to remove it. I don't think I want to have my B-Smart taken away from me!

So I would like to ask if anyone else does what we do? Do you think I'm crazy for living like this? Or maybe you have an idea for us that we can try out.
