New challenge!!!

I think its Lent right now and people are meant to give up something precious. Which brings me to my new challenge!!
I seem to spend an awful lot of unnecessary time on the internet lately. I try and keep it to a minimum when the children are around but it doesn't always work out that way - 5 minutes becomes 10 which becomes 15 and so on and so on ....
I think you could safely say I'm an internet addict! Bad girl!
Somedays (when I'm home with the kids) the internet is my only sanity as I can chat with my mom or my friend, Kerry. It would be no good to restrict myself to a couple of minutes a day as I know it would be futile so I'm "going for broke"!!
This is the rule!
No going on the computer before 8pm unless all children are at school or sleeping.
There's no chance all my children will be at school together for a very long time and it would be a miracle if all 3 children took a nap at the same time! So, I will probably only be around in the evenings after 8pm or on a Wednesday and Friday morning when Maddy and Ross have school and Gethin takes a nap!
I feel a bit like an addict and when I started yesterday, I had some serious withdrawal symptoms - thinking every few minutes "I'll just go and check that online". Bad habits are hard to break!
Today was a bit easier as Paul was home and we went out for a nice, long lunch to Swansea.
I'm hoping this will mean my house is cleaner and I spend more quality time with the children. Somehow I doubt the house will be cleaner but I will make a big effort on the latter statement.

The original challenge is still going well as you can see. I'm not sure if Kerry has done hers as I'm not allowed on the computer in the day but I think she has as her status on MSN said "scrapping".

Not much "big move" news to report. The next few months are going to be pretty busy for us with lots of exciting activities coming up. Paul is finishing off his last season as a professional footballer so we're hoping to make his last home game a memorable one. I'm hoping a few friends will join the children and I at the game with a small celebration dinner out afterwards.
Then it will be Gethin and Ross' birthdays. I promised Ross a big party this year as it will be his last one in Wales with his friends from school. Gethin is going to party crash and celebrate his 1st birthday with his big brother. A joint party will make things a lot easier for Mom.

Thats all folks! I have to work tomorrow and Tuesday so I'll be signing off now.

PS. I just noticed that the time on here says it was posted at 14:51. I can assure you that it is actually 22:40 and I have not already broken "The Rule".
