Why did I think 2012 was the year to start a blog? Well the past few years have been a bit more down than up - apart from my brilliant monkeys of course - I really saw 1 Jan as a clean sheet I felt positive about the future and I thought if i blogged for 365 days just about the positive side of things then I'd have something good to look back on at the end of the year. On 1 Jan I thought by now I'd have bought my new house but 14 days in I'm in the middle of a restructure at work and my house sale collapsed right at the last minute so from thinking I had 2012 sorted I am now in a position where once again I don't know what is round the corner. But 14 days into this blog it has also made me think about the good. If I need to write something positive then I need to think/do something positive so instead of dwelling on the bad - for at the least the length of time it takes me to write my daily thing I'm thinking happy thoughts.
I got a lot of letters off the tax man today which is normally not a good thing but woo hoo apparently for the past 4 years I've over paid tax so I'm getting a rebate it's a few hundred pounds so I'm now just waiting for a cheque to land - fingers crossed that comes soon.
It's been an average Saturday we've been round to a friends this afternoon which kept the kids entertained just thinking about what we can do tomorrow - I'm thinking I should show blue monkey how to make soda bread, he loves baking.
And now that I know we aren't moving for the time being I'm going to do some jobs which I was putting off - tomorrow I'm installing stair gates that should make things so much easier with pink monkey.
So another Saturday night in but when the monkeys are tucked up safely upstairs a night in doesn't bother me at all. Last night I actually avoided the wine I decided to save a glass for tonight so my curry for 1 is in the oven and I'm off to pour the wine.
Maybe this blog wasn't such a bad idea after all.
