What have YOU got to look forward to? And if the answer's nothing then come here and tell us what you're going to do about it!

A cheerful thread for a bank holiday Monday!

I started one of these threads a while ago after deciding that we all need things to look forward to. Me:

• A friend's 40th birthday party in May
• some more time off work at the end of May but I need to arrange some stuff to do during it
• A 10yy thread meet up in London
• I'm going to ask ex mil to have the children for 2 nights so dh and I can go away to a swanky hotel for his birthday
• we have a week away booked for October half term
• I am hoping dh's parents will let us do up their house, realising a huge profit so we can finally buy somewhere (but this might not happen)
• I'm looking forward to doing more of the 10yy thread and losing more weight and feeling happier about how I look

You? And if you haven't got anything, what are you going to arrange? Go and do it and come back and tell us about it.

Oh god, i still haven't got anything from the last thread. Will have a think.

My Mum and Dad are coming tomorrow for a week.

We have a holiday booked in July.

Can't think of anything else at the moment but extremely happy with my lot.

At the moment:

• Walk in The Lakes with kids and friends on Thursday with possible visit to JT straight after
• Friday night - Dancing on Ice at MEN with JT
• Possible trip to Llandudno at weekend with kids and friends, weather permitting
• End of April - night out with mates
• End of May - all day BBQ at friends house
• End of May - family lunch out
• First week of June - holiday in Cornwall
• End of June - 40th birthday party to go to
• End of July - summer ball at school
• End August - holiday in Scotland
• December - Take That concert

Off the top of my head, those are the things planned in so far.

my wedding only got 4 months to go yay. anybody wanting to have a look at most of my plans go here

A few things:

Birthday tea with dd and exp on Tuesday.
The end of term and hopefully lovely summer with dd.
Moving in mid May into a big, lovely flat with my mum.
Going (childless) for a long weekend to London in June (including a trip to see Harold Pinter's The Betrayal).
A very luxurious spa day with a friend sometime in July.

college reunion in June (although that could be hideous )

school reunion the week after (could be even worse )

the Council have agreed to provide us with secondary double glazing to the front of the house and ds1's bedroom (where he climbs) so will be able to stop worrying about him falling through first floor windows from all his climbing. They're also going to enclose our period staircase (dangerous) in perspex to stop him climbing through!

next easter mum and dad have said they'll come and give us a hadn to go over to Ireland so we can see the in-laws. DH's granny has never seen ds3 (now 2).
