    Hello all

    I am reading Wuthering Heights so should complete that task in a couple of days.....ordered in Pride and Prejudice so will move onto that next

    Another week or so and i will cross off my routine of badminton and swimming.

    Another week and a half and i can cross off being veggie for a month

    I am planning a 3 course meal of OH for Valentines so i can tick that soon.

    But i have now completed

    [FONT=&quot]41. Decide either way - yes or no to a third child and be happy with decision


    My decision is NO! Not my ideal decision but i am going to be happy with it as OH isn't worried about another and moneywise we are better off to provide for the two children we have and i can concentrate on a career. It is very sad but i am still happy with the decision at the same time. Not to say we defintely wouldn't. If OH decided he wanted one and the situation was better then i would rethink. But my toing and froing between the decisions is finished and at this present time with the situation as it is - I will not be having a third child!

  • On Monday I almost did #38 - "Visit the demolition shop in Wilton". I've driven past it every time I've gone into town for the last 12 years and have worked opposite it for seven months. From the outside, the shop is a fascinating place, with fireplaces, furniture, lamps etc and the yard appears to be full of bricks, chimney pots and beams.

    Well, I've started doing a 30 minute walk every lunchtime (working on #2 - lose half a stone :D) so on the way back I stopped off at the demolition shop with the intention of going in - and they're closed on Mondays!!!:mad:

    Never mind, I will definately do it tomorrow as it's one of the easiest things to cross off. The difficulty will be not to spend any money in there :rotfl:

    Yay, did #38 "Visit the demolition shop in Wilton" today. I spent a good half an hour mooching about, but everything was so expensive. I did find a lovely tiny flat iron to add to my collection, and some trivets for flat irons too, but it's the wrong side of payday and they've been "renovated" so decided against buying them.

    Another one crossed off though! :T:T

    Love it, littlekel! Did it for my English lit review at school... Had to read it twice through though at first but read it about 5 times now.

    Good work on the coffee cakes. mmmm.

    I'm hoping to get one of mine ticked off soon - go to the theatre - saw some good local plays on so shouldn't be too pricey either.

    :T
  • And I've started No 6 - redecorate bathroom and toilet room. Well, I've bought the paint and started tearing the old wallpaper off - that's the best bit :D
