Full of good intentions!

As its the start of a new year, then its time to make resolutions that I'd love to be able to say come December 2010 I've managed to keep!!

1 - Spend more time with MrVV - just the 2 of us.

Managed to make a tick against that on Sunday night when the boys went out to a badminton club party & tournament.  Just me & MrVV for dinner - cue grownup looking table ;)

2 - Keep the house at an acceptable level of tidyness - not house proud but also not in need of a visit by Kim & Aggie! Also accept that I am as messy as everyone else and I can't complain about their mess if my stuff is everywhere too!

3 - Learn to knit.  Am prepared for S&B group on Wednesday. Have bought my needles and some dishcloth cotton (might as well make something useful with my first attempts!).


4 - Not diet but eat smaller portions and cut down on the naughty foods.

5 - Praise the boys as well as nag them! With that in mind, I'll do a blog praise of big son.  Now he's not one for sport - infact in his first 13 1/2 years he's not shown much keeness on doing it. Ok so he swims quite well and cycles with MrVV & little son some weekends but sport in general has not interested him.  However when he started High School in September he got dragged to badminton club by a friend - he got on ok and decided he'd join little son at his club on a Wednesday night.  Well last night Bigson & a partner won the inter-club fun tournament!! He was dead chuffed with himself and we were chuffed with him :)

Now I think 5 things is enough to be getting on with - anymore and I'd fail before the end of the month!!

The boys are back to school tomorrow - think we've found everything they need. I start my new life as a SAHM - am sure I'll miss my old job but not the politics that came with it.

We've been promised snow which could make the day interesting for all - boys hoping school might be closed and me hoping its not!!

Have a good week

I can so relate to no.2 lol.
I didn't realise you could actually buy dishcloth cotton, did wonder how people made knitted dishcloths lol.

Don't think I'll be joining you at stitch n bitch this week - looking like snow might stop play!
What does Mr VV have to say about resolution No. 1?

Oh good for you learning to knit, honestly you won't look back....its such a great hobby. Mind you can be expensive. On my sidebar there is a link to a huge knit group (worldwide) called Ravelry, full of knitty info patterns and such beginners groups, everything you need...enjoy keep warm.
