    Yeah it's really hard having one car and working routines around it hey. We did have two cars but DH sold the VP just before Christmas because someone offered him a really good price for it (it was starting to go anyway hahaha, we figured best to offload it and make some cash than get stuck with a car that doesn't go lol), and I've regretted it ever since!! He comes home for lunch but that's usually when DD has just gone down for a nap so more often than not I just tell him to go back to work and I call my mum to take me out later in the afternoon when DD has woken up... but it's a real pain in the neck either having to get up early (he starts work at 7:00 some mornings) to get the car, or having to keep DD awake/put her down early so she's awake at lunchtime :/

    DH wants to get a new car soon though, hopefully he means keep the one we've got and get another loan for something else hahah (second-hand, of course, he wants a Patrol and no way are we going to pay for brand-new!), then I can go back to being a lady of leisure lol, go out whenever I bleeding well feel like it

    Luckily Charli wakes up at 6.30 every morning anyway and we leave to take DP to work at 7am, the worst thing about it is actually dinner time. He finishes at 5 so we dont get home til almost 5.30 some nights (last 2 he worked over time so didnt finish til 5.30 and we didnt get home til 6pm ) and then by the time i get dinner ready its atleast 6pm and charli has been going to bed at 6.30pm. I'm sure she'll get used to it, its really the stupid kinder hours that are killing me. 8.30-12 two days a week and 1-4 the other day, why cant they making all the freaking same.
    Unfortunately we couldnt afford two cars even if we wanted to, that why we got rid of mine last yr. Insurance and maintaining one car costs enough.

    hey girls,
    tell me about it, cars are so expensive, my car is paid outright but the fuel is so expensive and billy's car has a loan which is what breaks us every week with repayments. billy is so bad with money and doesnt care what it takes as long as he has a good car, something really loud, something with massive rims and something that looks good. it ****es me off. sorry really angry at him tonight, he is working mothers day so i have ot wake up and get maddison, make my own breaky etc. im feeling so run down, coz of the 1st trimester tiredness and m/s and all i wanted was mothers day and i know he wouldnt have got me anything either. grr im so angry at him.
    kirra- didnt realise that charlie wasnt sleeping well during the day, how is she sleeping at night? i have heard that those people are excellent from the family centres. My friend used ngala i dont know if you have them over there but they are very good.
    oh and how does your hair look? im getting mine cut tomorrow, first time since new years lol

    Shes not too bad at sleeping, she has sleeps and goes down ok just doesnt sleep for long enough, half hour is def not long enough. She too grumpy when she wakes up still.

    Hair looks good, i need to wash it though and straighten it myself, its the not the same when they blow dry it straight.
    Yay for getting ur hair cut, i so need to take alyssa down but i have to find time. lol
