So what is your life plan for the next few years

[zippitippitoes]

to 2008

get up.get children up.work.play with children.sleep.work.etc

planning maybe to retrain as a teacher actually.
Is this a mad idea or what??

Ideally:

Get our finances back in order
Get the business fully up and running (and making money LOL)
Buy a bigger house
Have another baby

realistically:

Clear most of the debts
Get the business up and running properly
Get this house all 'done up' the way we want it

buy a house
have another baby (or 2!)
eventually train as a midwife (but possibly not before 2008 what with all the babies i'll be having)

2008, wow, sounds v far off, and its not really is it? scary..........

have this baby, cope with this many children (its number four and frankly three have driven me to the ground today...)
take new course and achieve something I want. asap.
move house. much further from inlaws. (much much further........)
do up new house just right
feel content. that would be nice.

clean my windows
keep my job
buy a sports car
grow veg
go out more
stop having smartarse answers to everything
listen more & talk less
get a haircut that suits me

get DS into nursery/primary school
sell flat, move to cheaper house to help sort out finances
retrain/find job I enjoy

Have fun. Be happy!

Have fun. Be happy!

Work through the entire house, room by room, totally redecorating the lot.

Spend the next two years deciding what do for a career and re-training for it - evening college or something.

Getting fit.

Giving dh a kick up the backside so he pulls his weight round the house. Or kicking him out if he is still a lazy git.

Enjoying my life.

Watching my kids develop and grow. And leave home...eeek that's a possibility by 2008!!!

i think we are all moving house in the next few years!

I am identical to Qof Q apart from have another bay .

I doubt I'll get the 3rd baby. DH doesn't want anymore....but he seems to ahve forgotten about wanting to get the snip (hasn't mentioned it since DS2 was about 4 weeks old - and DS2 will be 2 in November) so still have a glimmer of hope

I've got little chance of getting my business going so another baby would knock that on the head.

I find it best not to make firm plans.. shit always happens and ruins them.

Am doing a degree though

our business is 'there' - just not doing very much (well actually nothing at the moment LOL).

Even if the business does pick up, I'm sure we'll soon (by the end of next year) have the finances in order again (or at least to the level to be able to afford another baby).

I suppose my business is going but going nowhere at present. Trying out the stocking filler parties idea hopefully a couple of mums at DD's club are going to host one. My problem is I don't plan ahead.

sorry that should be even if the business "doesn't" pick up

twins would be 15
eldest lad would be OMG 19!!!!!!! NOv 2008

Well life plan is to get elsest established in good money amking builders job, hand him condoms on regular basis and promise to kick his arse up the street if i am a granny at the age of 36. get him to fit me a shower or a whole new bathroom suit. or someoen he knows.

get a third of his wages for the pleasure of living at home.

get my eldest lad to get m youngest lad holiday work leading to apprenticeship at same place.

tell my daughter university university university.

save for daughter going to university and learn how to pretend cry when i suggest a good uni in scotland and she moves out.

daughter gets 16 gcse's all a*. and at a promise of £50 for passed a-c gcse thats 3,500 squid we owe her

remember to put up rent to other two sons.

note to self - stop smoking after xmas mumsnet doo 2005. and keep looking for another job.

life plan...erm...to get by without losing my sanity would be ideal

QofQ I withheld the goods until my dh got the snip. It took him 9 months. I have 3 children though and I would rather cut off my right arm then go through 4th pregnancy/labour/babydom again.

I'm working on th enxt few days....
