The Joys of this time of year....

are NOT the Fluey bugs and viruses that go round weekly. This week we all have the lurgy, I've been stupidly dizzy again because of it and our little Girl has been throwing up all over me and then having liquid yellow poo trickle out the side of her nappy and down her legs, lovely eh!

and what is with this weather??? It is bloody freezing!! It doesn't half knock you for six when you try pushing a buggy along in that freezing cold wind.

anybody else want to have a good old whinge about being in the UK at winter time?

Still on the Market....

I cant believe it, we have now been on the market for over a year, unless we drop the price to a silly amount of money it looks like we are staying here for a while.
We cant drop it any less than we have done already or we wont have the funds to actually move.
The flat is too small for us, we have seriously ran out of room, even the attic is now burtsting at its seems and floorboards..

The past week or so due to conversations with other friends has got me thinking about extending our family, having another child, I'm still not recovered from the first one but hoping for an Op next year to put that right, which in turn got me thinking, surely I might aswell have another baby before they "fix" me? Save me having it done twice? and then I remember.... we cant, we dont have the room or the money at the moment for another child. I'm not feeling particuarly broody, but if we are to have another baby I dont want to leave it for a long time as i'd like to enjoy them being a similar age and not a huge age gap like between my own siblings and myself.

So Santa for Christmas this year, and I've been such a good girl this year and so very brave, is a House. A buyer for this flat and a nice house to move into. Pretty Please with a Cherry on top.

Learn direct Maths Course

God I'm stressed! I haven't even started the blooming course yet lol I’m still doing the “skills checkers”

I've never been very good at Maths, I got an E in my GCSE exam, I'm not sure how, i was sure i had failed it.

I'm wanting to improve my maths skills again though, for myself, my confidence in life and also for helping my daughter with it as she grows up.

Operation Over with and Hopefully a Success

Update on the ear situation is available here.....

Slacking

Apologies for not updating in a while, life has been a bit hectic.
My Operation date as been brought forward, its a week today. Im seriously pissed off at some people though, they have offered no support or concern regarding this, yet both myself and my Husband have been there for them when they have needed support. Its not just a little ear operation, its a serious one which will last for at least 4 hours and I will take 4- 6 weeks to recover from.  A simple "how are you, hope you are feeling ok about next week" message would be fine but no, nothing.
Also my Dad is still being a twat, but hey thats nothing new is it.

We have been camping :)

Just got back from Camping for the weekend. We  had a really nice time, even though it rained a few times we still had fun. L managed to sleep through both nights, must have been all that fresh air and energy she burned off running round the campsite all day!

Our tent is HUGE, its an 8 berth tent from Vango, called "Tigris 800", Probably a bit too big for us 3, but its great having the spare rooms for all the junk to go in and also one as a "toilet" for the portaloo to go in.

The campsite is lovely, its the second time we have been there http://www.gatehousewoodtouringpark.com/ Its a small and secluded site just perfect for families with small children.

Now just the washing to sort and do, and then sit down and watch X Factor with a Kopparberg Berry Cider, Yum Yum.

Tired

Energy where have you gone?

I'm still feeling a bit rotten after the bout of sinusitis, the dizziness is still there but i think that will be until i have the op done anyway.

I phoned them up today to see if they could bring the date forward but no such luck, so i phoned and asked about having it done privately to which the answer was “ if you have private insurance it would be free, if not then it will cost you 150 for a consultation and just under 4 grand for the actual operation.”

Where exactly do these people expect you to find 4 grand from just like that??

Feeling peed off tonight at it all. Have spent the whole morning tidying up the flat for the new estate agents to come and take photos. It looks lovely but boy am I tired.
