So, any New Year's resolutions? I thought about it....then thought, nah - I won't keep them so why bother! Every year I try to be better at time management, tidiness, general housewifery - you know the sort of things but each time it goes horribly wrong and I carry on being a terrible house wife most of the time, hoovering like a mad woman when I know someone is coming round, the ironing pile usually gets so bad Warren ends up taking it to his mum's (she has a lady that does everything), and I get moaned at for not going to the supermarket to get basic provisions.
I think since I got older the hours in the day have actually got shorter, and a day like tomorrow (when Leo is at Nursery and I should be able to get millions of things done) will end with me shouting and swearing at 3pm because I am running late to pick the kids up, there's not a bean to eat and I haven't even managed to sew a seam. A lot of the problem, methinks, is the evil computer, which lures me in and I end up a day later halfway down my blogline. SOOOOOOO, the only way I can change things is to give this up, and I am not doing that - so I'm sorry Warren and kids, you'll have to put up with a useless wife and mother and bugger all for dinner.
What did you all do for New Year's eve? I made the 2 new Merrylegs (see above) and did nothing else at all - it was bliss! I'm not a fan of going out on New Year's Eve, I can't be jolly whilst a stranger tries to kiss me, and as neither Warren nor me drink (well, me not much, him not at all) it can get rather painful watching others slip into drunken oblivion
I hope you all had fun, and that you woke up fresh headed this morning (there's nothing worse than a banging head, and that sicky feeling!)

i thought i was the world's worst housewife - we never have a tidy house, ironed clothes or food in the fridge....
but who cares!!!
we should start a club
say no to housework - sew instead x
lets look forward to another year of sewing and HUGE dustballs!

I'm so glad I'm not the only one who does the 'I'll try to be tidier, more organised' thing every year. It's never going to happen here!
Beautiful horses by the way! Happy New Year. x
Happy New Year, Jane x
we didn't do much for nye either, stayed in and watching 'girl with a pearl earring' (not very good), then 'the it crowd' (much better!) and had chinese food, then fell asleep. nothing like starting the year as you mean to go on ; )
Happy new year! We watched the Wicker Man and then some of the Edinburgh fireworks out the window (not the castle ones though, too far away for that!).
Hi Katy, happy new year !! Didn't do anything here either. I have managed to go all day today with out a fag though, i havn'e touched one since last year lol.

I always TRY to be a tidier, more organised, better housewife/mother etc but it never works! I still have to keep trying though or goodness knows how bad the house would get........! Happy New Year! Lucy x
I'm with you on the whole day disappearing thingy. Sometimes it just seems like minutes after the girls have gone to school before they're back again, demanding food!
Isn't it amazing how much time the computer seems to eat?!
Happy New Year to you and your poor hungry family
:)

Happy new Year !
Lovely Merrylegs as usual.
New Year was a quiet affair for us too. Me, hubby, brother and sister in law all ate rubbish, slobbed on the sofa and watched tele.
We had a glass of bubbly as the bell donged and then zonked out.
I was awake at 6.30am with the kids.
Bugger all for dinner? That's what we've got:)
Happy New Year:)
