Comments on: I.O.U. http://www.cathykeir.co.uk/blog/iou/ Welcome to the home of Beta Mum - who lacks the lifestyle and perfectionist tendencies of Alpha Mummy, but rubs along pretty well most of the time Sat, 22 Nov 2008 22:14:47 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.3.3 By: midlifer http://www.cathykeir.co.uk/blog/iou/#comment-668 midlifer Wed, 18 Jul 2007 12:40:40 +0000 http://www.cathykeir.co.uk/blog/iou/#comment-668 We went through exactly the same thing with the trampoline issue. Couldn't decide on size, whether to have a net or not, whether it would stuff up the view down our narrow garden etc. Then fate looked kindly on me. i was in ALDIs and they had a deal that was too good to ignore - I love a bargain. 10foot with net for 130 smackers. We gor it as an advance joint present for both kids whose birthdays are within 4 days ofeachother. I promise you, it's the best buy I have ever made, they love it, we love it, my son can do wrestling moves on it, I can lie down on it and look up at the sky, i can even bounce, but it always reminds me I should have done those blessed pelvic floor exercise. And so far - no injuries (though our local hospital is full of trampoline disasters...) We went through exactly the same thing with the trampoline issue.

Not looking forward to the day as described by the woman who writes Living with Teenagers in Guardian when your kids start nicking 20's out of your purse. Sigh. Kids and money.

Oh God, a trampoline. Still, hours of uninterrupted blogging for you I suppose... I found an old diary and it was all ‘Mummy owes me 2p”, “I owe daddy 1p”. Oh God, a trampoline.
