Gone are the days when I used to get myself dolled up and off out 'on the razz' on a friday night!!! Iits just gone 9pm and I'm off to bed!!
It doesn't help that I'm at work for 8am tomorrow!
I've found a car boot on Sunday so will be an early night tomorrow also so I can get up early for that! Hope I manage to sell some stuff - my landing is completely overrun with car boot stuff! A friend of a friend did one a few weeks back and earnt £300!!1 That would be amazing!!

OH is at work on Monday and I am not getting up at 2am to take him to work, to come back, load the car, wake the kids (although they will probably be awake anyway after getting in the car etc) to then do the sale accomapnied by two kids!1 Not going to happen!! Oh well, at least everything is sorted now for when there is a next one on a Sunday!

101 things to do in 1001 days?!?!
I've toyed with the idea of completing a '101 things to do in 1001 days' list and work through it. my start date is scheduled for 01.09.10 and is due to end on 29.05.13. Plenty of time to do lots of things.
The problem being at the moment that I've struggling to find things to fill my list. I've managed to get 90 so far but am stuck for the last 10 or so.

Weekends
Saturday night was mine and hubbys joint b'd night out!
Kids were at Grandmas and we had a good time. Caught the last tram and was home and in bed for 2am. I still managed to wake up at 7am though - never mind.

Kids!!!
My kids are really stressing me out!!
They are soo cocky and cheeky and only aged 6 and 4! I do love them but wish they would give me a break every now and then!!
We took them shopping for some new summer clothes today - the weather has been sooo nice today and looks set to stay for at least the weekend.
The local police station has had an overhaul and a change of location and its the open day tomorrow - should be a fun day. They've got dog displays, tours of the cells and all sorts. Must remember to put sun cream on!!

Birthdays
Today is my husband's b'day - he is 35 old bugger he is!! hehe!
He got a few bottles of JD whisky from the guys and gals at work and a watch, a Man U shirt and a tiger blanket from us. He loves tigers and I have wanted to get him another ornament but the one he liked was almost £50!!! Will have to wait for chrimbo for that one I think!!
I think he's had a good day.
I've made a big step tonight! I've joined Tesco Diets online - at the moment they have a special offer of 50% for 6months - so we've only paid £37 and if we don't lose weight we get our money back.
I'm going to work to work tomorrow and start the diet properly on Monday after going out on Saturday night (and recovering!!)
It was my birthday on Sunday gone so my friends and hubbies friends are meeting in town - should be fun!
I hope we don't argue though - that would be embarrassing!!]
Anyway - must iron the clothes for the morning!
Back soon
