I want to be a MFW........ LP's Diary

KimmyCustard

I knew I liked you, so am I! How weird is that??

We were thinking of going for the Lapland day, OH has a 13 year old (who is hilarious and so sweet) and she would love it. Think its about £1100 for all of us. Includes food, husky ride, tobogganing, flights, transfers etc. Which sites have you been looking on and have you found any bargains?? I was looking at First Choice and Lapland Holidays.com.

i just looked at the monarch airlines site and santadays.

KimmyCustard

Santadays looks good but I hate Monarch, flown with them to Spain, Portugal and the Maldives and their fleet of planes are antiquated, they smell like old ladies and the service is rubbish. Therefore I wouldnt give them any more business.

Mmmmmm, snow, reindeer, huskies .................

skidoos....... Too hugely fat and poor this year, next year teapot will only be 10 months so 2012 maybe 2013 for us

KimmyCustard

Skidoos! Yes!

We just got back from 3 weeks in the USA and came home to a £4000 bill after driving down the west coast for 2 weeks, v expensive! Soooo, we're going to pay for that before we book anything else to be realistic. Lapland day trip does look good tho.

Overtime at work tomorrow so bedtime soon, if our cat ever leaves me alone and lets me sleep........

Both my elderly cats died, one late 2008 the other early 2009. We are cat sitting for a friend just now though, I had a dream last night I was being induced and struggling to breathe, told OH tonight about my 'premonition and he said a cat was sitting on my chest and he moved it so it was probably that.

ebay update. 17 items are listed as going to sell so far. some items have 2/3 bids so looking good and they are 5 day acutions ending Thursday evening so looking like a good thing

KimmyCustard

17 is good, will go into the paying off pot?! I have lots of books to sell, is selling on Ebay complicated?? Could do with getting rid of them.....

Overtime done yesterday, will go towards Crimbo.

Am going to ring the Halifax today and ask about overpaying the mortgage

LilacPixie

ebay is a fiddly pain in the bum TBH. I think people tend to prefer to sell books on green metropolis or amazon over ebay.

Have another viewing on house tomorrow. arrrggggghhhhh of course it had to be a day my OH is working late and DD1 has a party so it will be manic old me and my !!!!ed pelvis trying to hoover up and mop floors.

I want to open a regular saver as the lloyds 5% gross would still give a better rate than mortgage is currently and the kids regular saver welsh lady suggested would also give a better return although the money can not be touched for a year. I really need to know where we stand with this place.

I really don't want to move heavy heavy pregnant although both sets of parents are quite young and capable of assisting. My dad has a hernia so can't lift stuff but he can have both kids and keep them amused, be doing nursery run etc. I can waddle and co-ordinate, mum and MIL can clean and DH plus his friends or dad can be lifting and moving stuff or we just hire movers.

I had it in my head I didn't want to move over 28/30 weeks pregnant and not until baby was 4-6 weeks at least. Now I am thinking that I possibly could move sooner if i needed too. Ack viewers may come to nothing so no point worrying but eeekkkkk

Oh and my husband being a plonker

update on ebay - 19 items will sell, 9-10 hours to go on most things.
