Hi Blizz, hi Tarkine!

It was brilliant to catch up with both of you on Tuesday night!

Had some very relaxing mornings and some very hectic afternoons lately!

DH and I had a very romatic afternoon up in the Blue Mountains, which was lovely.

Today has just been about organising big ticket items while DH and I are both at home.

We've bought a couch, and looks like we may be buying a Camry.

Anyway, must dash - heaps of hugs for everyone

[blizz]

firstly, woo-hoo on the lounge suite and the new car Gargy.
g;ad you had a great time with DH, it sounded like you both needed it.
I'm having a bit of a late night meander around the posts as I have just been woken up with a really crampy tummy and I am just waiting for the panadol to kick in so I can try going back to sleep, but at the moment every time I lie down the cramping starts again(think it may have been the onion in the rissoles that I made for tea bit of a sensitivity to onion I think)
So I thought I'd cruise around for half an hour or so.
nothing new here just had some friends around for tea it was really funny watching Paige and their little boy play they started off a little shy but by the end of the night they were tearing around the house and kissing each other on the lips, Paige dissappeared at one point and we heard the tink of the toilet brush container DH went to investigate and Paige got roared at she was 'cleaning the toilet' for us with her hands apparently so she came running to me in tears I asked her 'have you been doing something naughty?' she stopped crying, dropped her lip and nodded her head, 'did you play in the toilet?' againg she nodded and held out her soggy hands and shirt sleeves
(eeeewwwww) so we stripped off her top and scrubbed her hands.
hopefully she has learnt that cleaning the toilet isn't all that much fun.
well think I might try my luck at some sleep, night/morning all!!!!

HI girls

Lissie !!!! awesome news hun!!!

Gargy hope you get to catch up with SD again soon! DH never gets it either. sometimes you have to be really blunt and tell him that you are more important than the football.

DH was on telly today. Adelaide anzac march and right at the front of the screen when he marched past! got some photos of him doing the last bit with the gun. will upload later.

Have invited Dusty in here as she is going down the road of ED with her sister. good luck Dusty

[Lissie]

girls,

Alioops - thanks for the good wishes.

Dusty - when are you starting the ED with your sister?

Lulu - good luck this cycle sweetie - hope this one brings a BFP.

Hi to Tarkine, Gargy and Blizz.

I have another BT tomorrow and have my 7week scan booked in for 9th May which cannot come quick enough. Hope you have all had a great long weekend.

[blizz]

hi all,
Lissie goodluck for BT tomorrow and I hope the time fly's till your 7 week scan.
As for me feeling heaps better back to work tomorrow and back in to the hard work of getting everything organied before the end of October so I can leave my job with a clear conscience, am almost on track I think.
Will start sneaking my belongings back home in preparation so it is not so obvious to all involved that I am not planning to return.
don't want to play all of the cards in my hand before I have too.
will be back soon for a longer catch up.
love and fuzzies Allie.B xxxxx

Hi everyone!

Had a really busy day today - which was great because it kept my mind off going back to work tomorrow!

Finally got to catch up with our SD - he was actually over for lunch and ended up staying for over 4 hours!

Blizz - good luck with returning to work tomorrow. I'll be in sympathy with you!

Lissie - goodluck with the bloodtest tomorrow.

Lulu - fingers crossed for you with this cycle. I understand completely about not being able to catch up with all the threads.

Ali - it would have been very special seeing your DH marching on ANZAC day.

Hey Tarkine - how are you going?

[Malyna]

Blizz - ROFLOL with Paige cleaning the toilet..I hear you with sneaking stuff home before you give them your notice.. at least you have a few months to gradually downsize your work stash Am checking out the photos (takes me forever - I think in the live chat I proved how bad I am with forums

Lissie - how did the test results go?

Ali - I love watching the ANZAC day marching - must have been great to see your DH on the tellie

Gargy - must be something in the air about buying cars - my DH has got a bee in his bonnet about getting a new car (**insert rolling of the eyes -" we have two pefectly functioning cars" I say) How was work?

Lulu - I've got everything crossed for you (like Gargy).. I hope this time it works honey.

Me.. Well after my Blood test on thursday, I forgot to ring them until Friday and was told that I wasn't to start the Syranal until the 3rd May and then back there again on the 8th for a blood test - is this normal?? Ohh skipped the torch relay in Canberra and spent the morning crusing around the streets with no traffic (it was my peaceful protest!)

[Caramello]

Tarkine,

I really enjoyed having you there on the live chat! Oh - and for next time, I found out how to make a private room - so that it is less confusing with so many people (not that it wasn't fun!)

Unfortunately our poor old 1995 Corolla is rusting away so we will have to get a replacement soon.

Work was actually fine for a change - I am really surprised that a) I am awake at this time after such a long day and b) I don't have a rip roarer of a headache! I naughtily sneaked some marking into a seminar and I think this actually helped - I could listen and when I got bored I could tune out a little and do something else.

I haven't used Syranel but I usually have masses of BTs before I am finally ready to go so I'm thinking this is fairly normal.

Glad you skipped the torch relay - from what Dusty has said it sounds like it was fairly uncomfortable at times with the aggression of some of the supporters. Glad you enjoyed your cruise!

[alioops]

Tarkine - I didn't see him on telly, i saw him IRL, but my sister saw him on the telly.

Thinking about donating blood as they need negative types. anyone know how old Em needs to be? can i get away with doing it a couple of weeks before she reaches 9 months?

[Caramello]

Sorry Ali - I have never donated blood so I don't know. I have this irrational fear that if I do give blood it will make me even more anaemic. I have no medical reason for this whatsoever - one day I must get brave enough to go and find out...

[MsPink]

Hi Ladies,

Thanks all for your good wishes...here's hoping...

Ali - I believe it is only pregnant woman, and 6mths after delivery (or miscarriage as was my case) ...
I'd say you're good to go whenever you can - I know they are always in need and go whenever I can..

Have a good night girls..

[Malyna]

ali.. found this on the blood donation site

Breast-feeding - I am breast-feeding. Can I donate?

It is not advisable to donate blood while breast-feeding. Following childbirth, the deferral period is at least 9 (nine) months (as for pregnancy) and until your baby is significantly weaned (i.e. getting most of his/her nutrition from solids).

hee-llo my lovelies,
I haven't been around much this week, been resettling in to work and have just been a bit exhausted which always seems to happen when I take a week off work LOL!!
have had a good week got heaps done and have nearly finished the 90 odd mothers day presents not bad considering I only started on Monday.
Paige and I had Wednesday off I had forgotten it was Bananas In pyjamas concert Paige nearly pooped her nappy when B-1 and B-2 came out her face was really funny it was like.........you are so BIG...you are not supposed to be so BIG!!!! but once she got over her initial shock she grooved along and danced to all of the songs.

DH got a phone call before he was due to start work to tell him that they have changed him to a different crew so instead of starting Wednesday on day shift he started Tuesday night on night shift, he was really upset about it and I kind of see his point.

He had just started making friends and spending time out of work hours with his other crew members and he had got a flat mate because he found it really lonely living away by himself so now with this change he is working on the opposite shift to all of his mates and has now virtually returned to living alone as his flat mate starts work as he finishes.
In one fell swoop they have totally destroyed the only social life DH had when away and it is fairly essential to have this when you are away from your family for so long.

I told him to talk to management and just make it known that although he is willing to do what is asked of him, he would like to be considered as soon as possible for a transfer back to his original shift crew.
I feel so sad for him he sounded really down, we may even drive down on Saturday to keep him company for a little while.
