Shopaholic? Me?

I really want a holiday with a night sitter so that I can sleep through a whole night. When you have a baby and it wakes twice … you feel knackered. When you have twins, you wake four times not twice, which means so little sleep. Outer Banks vacation rentals could offer me a holiday but I would need to take some help with me to get that extra sleep… or perhaps I just need to wait a few more months for them to hopefully sleep through the night! Zzz

Wouldn’t it great if I could make a living from shopping. Ok  know there are shopping consultants but I don’t think I have enough shopping experience to be one. Yes, I can admit that. And besides you would need to have the contacts (ie people with enough cash to pay you to shop – and if you have enough cash, why not shop yourself?)

Nor do I think I could be like Trinny & Susannah. Besides having a touch of public speaking anxiety, I would hate to publicly make a fool of myself like they do. And personally I have seen them do some atrocious things (like their own dress sense). Imagine being constantly examined because you berated others on TV!

I discovered a crack in my laptop. It is on the top of it when closed. I have no idea how it got there… I did not drop it or anything but it must have had an accident because there is very clearly a crack. Now from what I know… a stitch in time saves 9, however everything is disposable in todays world and I very much doubt it would be worth fixing. So I again need to get myself a new laptop. This is why I always go for the cheapest rather than things like laptop memory, grafics, ram, rom etc because I seem to constantly keep upgrading it. Perhaps next time I get accidental insurance. hah!

I travelled recently and like thousands if not millions of people had cancelled flights – both ways. What really irked me was the fact that we thought we had protection but all we can get from our insurance is £20 for a “delay” despite the fact we had to buy new flights both ways and at an exhorbitant cost. At least term life insurance is a bit more basic and you shouldn’t be so easily screwed off. They have to pay at the end of the term or if you die! Just don’t stop paying or you lose everything cover and whatever you paid to date, but as I said better than travel insurance that you have to keep your mind at rest and then find out the worst!

I just started aqua aerobics. I must say it is great fun and a really good work out. From the little experience I have, it is going to be what gets me to my weight goal target and without the best weight loss supplements. Mind you I will be calorie counting and taking vitamin supplements (and for now breastfeeding too)!

I hope that I will also get toned out with all the exercise. The best bit of it, is that I get some precious me time. I am ever so grateful to my hubby who actually stays home to look after all 3 kids just so I can get some me time!

I was thinking about when I was told I needed laser treatment for my face, but I thought it was so expensive that I have been put off. So I was thinking about medical travel because it could work out so much cheaper. But then again, there is the other side to it… I would need to do 3 treatments, and you look horrific for a few days and last but definately not least… the pain! Argh, what am I thinking!

So my phone has been playing up and I cannot decide which phone I want. So my dearest hubby used it as an excuse to upgrade his! Like he really needs one, he only just got his for what… Christmas? The only issue is that his phones always cost loads, which I guess in return means that we are going to put our plasma mounts for our new TV to one side and wait a little longer before buying it! C’est la vie!

Hubby just said that we should back up all our computers. He thinks that at the very least we should do it on a yearly basis. I think he wants to go with an online backup because then they cannot be stolen or if lightening hits wiped out. But I like the idea of a portable hard disk or just copying to DVD but then I am not the techno geek! The only thing I do know is unlike shopaholic Carrie (Sarah Jessica Parker) in Sex in the City, I will er hopefully be protected!

I have found the best quick weight loss diet… yes it is breastfeeding twins! I have so far lost all my baby weight and a little more. I do know with my first kid, I put on weight when I started weaning him. As I am at the point of weaning, I want to be careful that I don’t repeat my first mistake. The problem with putting on weight is that if you increase your diet by 100 calories, you put on weight. But to lose the weight you put on, you need to double the increased calories for the same length of time to reach your previous weight. Not easy, so I really really must be careful as who likes dieting!

I was thinking if I am not going for laser treatment, then perhaps I need to find the best face cream that might make a difference to my face. I have been recommended some by Tracy Bell. However Tracy Bell is a dentist on the Isle of Man and not a beautician. But then again, I am sure she did her research before she launched her range of beauty products.
