New year, new start - Purpletea65's 2009 Plan

Karmacat

morning! You're keeping on top of it, and know where its all going, and thats the really important thing. Trading has been weird this morning, so nowhere near a signal, so I popped on here to have a looksee. Hope Tesco Gatwick goes well (I must google and find out exactly where that is ....)

Hi Karmacat,

Tesco's Gatwick was fun to find! It took me an hour for what should have been a 20 minute journey but find it we did and we got some goodies as well as some of the usual stuff; you wouldn't think it to look at her but DD was an angel the whole time we were there.

Mum has text me to let me know that surprise number 2 is on it's way....

Hope you managed to get some trading done.

Karmacat

Sounds good! And exciting, with surprise no 2 on the way - isn't your mum lovely!

I did get some trading done - it lost me money, unfortunately, but I know what happened, I'm easy about it - I was flummoxed at the time, but the panic before and afterwards seems to have completely disappeared, thank heavens, I've finally beaten that, so I can think sensibly about it all.

Off for lunch now -see you later

_party_ I dying to know what this one will be!!! Your mum sounds brilliant :rotfl:

You sound so organised = I haven't got the tree & decorations out the attic yet, but that's because I'm too much of a wuss to go up a ladder myself (a step ladder at the top of of the stairwell.._pale_ ) so I need to collar a willing neighbour to do it for me! Mind you, need to clear the bombsite formally known as my living room before I can put it all up! Leading by your example I am going to blitz the paperwork over the next few evenings. Wish me luck :eek:

Hi tea been reading your diary. You are very positive and inspire me into making myself think I can also get done what I want / need in 09 without wimping out again and again, though a different set of goals to yours, but will be following with interest.

Hi Tea,

great news about your lovely mum's surpises .

With regard to the soft play; how about starting to save for the winter usage when at the park in the summer. Rather than panic each time I have to pay for DDs swimming/recorder/brownies/schooltrips etc I've started putting money away for them each week so it's never a nasty shock :rolleyes:

Mind you, working out how much the annual costs are is pretty damn scary :eek: .

Hope DDs test results are good news

take care & easy on the ironing

Afternoon to one and all and hello to Yukkibear and Dizzeepixie :hello:

Lula – The soft play centre does annual membership for DS’s age it is something like £66 per year and for DD I think it is £55 per year, which fair enough isn’t that bad but we don’t use the local one near enough to warrant getting it. Good tip about saving it up during the summer, I think I’ll give it a go.

DD was supposed to have an x-ray last week so the consultant could find out what the lump is, however the hospital don’t do x-rays or ultrasounds on children under 3, so they have referred it back to the consultant to see what he wants to do next. I fear that she may end up having an MRI in which case they will have to mildly sedate her to do it.

This evening I have my Physio appointment so they can give me some more exercises to strengthen my back and therefore we are having beef casserole which will be ready when I get back.

This afternoon I need to get the washing up done and finish making dinner so I can program the oven as well finishing the washing, ironing 10 items of clothing and playing bubbles with the kids…I guess at some point I will also need to feed them :rotfl:

Have fun everyone and I will try to update later.

Karmacat

Worrying tho, about DD ... hope you can get some news soon.

That is so true and thank you, the worst case senario I hate to think about but have; the medium senario is that she is on medication all her life for her thyroid, that I think I can cope with and the lesser one is that it is just a calcium deposit as the result of a tooth that didn't end up where it should have.

Off my list this afternoon, I have done the washing (last load in tumble drier now) and more than 10 pieces of ironing and I put it away too, which I hate doing.

Tomorrow will be a NSD as we have the gutter men coming back again to sort the guttering out as it is now leaking across the front of the house; so I think that I might change the beds and clean the bathroom in the morning...what a fun filled life I lead.

Oh whilst I remember, we did get some good news today - a friend of DH's his wife had their baby yesterday morning by emergency c-section
