Emma and Lauren, ya know what they say about private school girls ey Well I guess that explains why y'all are here hahahaha Hi Lauren, I'm Donna talked to you in another thread you posted, I believe?? Welcome to BB, hope you enjoy your stay. Congrats on the little tiger, welcome to the mad, mad world of motherhood lol!
I was public all the way, lol we didn't even call our high school 'Gladdy High' or anything, just 'State High' - if you live in the area and ask what school someone goes to, and they just go, 'State', you know they mean Gladstone State High lol... funnily enough there are like five other state high schools in town but for some reason we called GSHS 'State' :/
I had a nervous breakdown halfway through grade 12, that was awesome fun... graduated but never did the QCS so didn't get an OP or anything, and completing year 12 on its own was pretty useless lol... I could have left at the end of grade 10 and got an apprenticeship (was offered one and everything) but my parents were buttheads and were convinced I was gonna go to uni and be a brain surgeon or something so they wouldn't let me leave school
AND NOW LOOK AT ME, MUM AND DAD - haven't had a full-time job in my entire life lol, got knocked up at 20 and now I'm not even 23, married and 2 kids, no career on the horizon hahaha So all your good intentions amounted to zilch!!
It's pretty funny but. Coulda done worse for myself I spose lol, ever since I was a kid I just wanted to get married and be a mum so I'm quite content.
Kirra that is messed up that they didn't let you finish school!! A mate of mine found herself in the family way (lol I love that saying) at 15 and she only missed a week before the birth and took a month off when bub arrived to do the bonding thing, then back to school to finish off up until year 12!! And this is in a smallish town where there's sweet fa support or programs for teen mums, the school just pretended she was getting fat hahaha, they totally ignored it because they didn't want to be seen to 'encourage' other chicks to do the same :/ She did get a bit distracting as she got bigger lol, we were always sitting in class next to her rubbing her belly and she'd let us feel it kick lol, she acted like it was so normal that we all just accepted it, kwim?? Yeah, we were excited as hell but it was like, 'yeah so B is preggers, pfft' at the same time hehehe.
Ali hope everything goes well with the c-sec, personally I'm not fussed on how bubs get out, provided they get there safely ey So whatever works, it's all worth the crap in the end tho... that being said, definitely no more babies for me lol, this pregnancy has confirmed that my body just isn't up to it again That's alright tho, two was always the plan so I'm done hahaha!!
Donna: lol thats so wierd same with my parents, i wanted to leave at yr 10 and do mechanics apprenticeship n they r like 'nope were paying 10k a yr you are gonna do yr 12 and goto uni', so i passed yr 12 got 82 in my tee somehow (no idea cause i wagged most days), and then went to uni for 3 weeks n quit and became a skimpy hahha
and i always wanted to be a mum too actually scared a few bf's off before DP cause after like a month id be all like aww babies and theyd run away! LOL trapped DP though mwahaha
first night in about 3 months that i just CBF cooking so got pizza for DP and kfc for me...and get this i asked for a sauce and the lady said oh we dont give them out for free anymore...wtf like kfc is being effected by the economic crisis so they charge 30c for a bloody sauce...i was offended!
Sacrilege. Nothing less. I'd be writing a very strongly-worded letter to... someone lol.
I went thru the Macca's drive-thru the other week and they didn't give me any sauce for my McNuggets, despite me repeating TWICE that I wanted BBQ lol...
I just cbf'd parking up and going into the restaurant to demand sauce lol, I don't think I was dressed anyways hahah I mean, I was dressed, just in crap clothes lol, DH thinks I'm weird for putting on something other than pj's to go thru the drive-thru, but I'm paranoid about, for instance, getting pulled up by cops and made to 'step out of the car' hahaha and then have half the town drive past going 'OMG LOL SHE'S NOT WEARING ANY PANTS!!!' hehehe
I cooked DH stroganoff for dinner, cbf'd divvying it up before adding the mushrooms lol so I haven't eaten, I've really gone off food in general this pg, with Emily I was eating CONSTANTLY but I've really had to force myself to eat one or two meals a day this time around... made a caramel slice but, just waiting for the chocolate top to harden up and I'll have a bit of that before I hit the sack... real nutritious hahaha
hahahaaha hey donna thanks for the warm welcome.
my father said the funniest thing today
apperntly my baby name choices are "too exotic"
and i should call my child real names like
jack josh, sarah and jane
he is just so funny sometimes......
Heavenly- thats great that hes thinking of going up north for work its good pay. just make sure it what you want too. Billy went when i just had maddie and i ended up with PND because i couldnt cope with not having someone to talk to at the end of the day.
alot of woman can cope but im just saying that if your not completely comfortable with it, it might not be a good idea.
what kind of work does he do? if he is thinking of working away there is a labour hire company that you prob know of called Skilled. billy used to work for them on the railway and would work 11 days on 3 days off. but now they are doing the train line down in pinjarra or soemthing so its not as far away and i think they are home every weekend. it was quite good pay. any way a guy called Damian was the guy who hired billy. if you need any more info i can try to get you some.
Indi- my car needs to go to the mechanic next week too. the gear box is broken and its so bad that i need to get a new one. so angry coz its gonig to cost us atleast $3000, money we dont have. but the car is only 7 years old so i dont want to sell it and get a crap price for it and then have to downgrade.
im going to perth next week for a few days to get away. feeling like everything is just too much. things arent that bad but i know im not coping so im also seeing a counsellor soon.
well not up north like that just north of the river lmao
yeah i got a 01 chrysler voyager they had it reduced to 9990 from 14990 and they had to take of an xtra 500 so i could get the loan and they gave me 5000 instead of 4000 for my vx commodore but if you saw the condition the kids left it in i was very happy with 5000 lmao...my payments have only gone up 4 a fornight and 20 a month for insurance so i now have a 7 seater so its very exciting....
found a high chair and cot sheets in the classifieds too lol now if i can find a cheap set of draws and some blankets in a couple weeks i will be laughing...im picking up my twin pram with toddler seat i found this arvo and was only $250 which is really good
oh silly me lol.
well thats heaps better than working up north lol.
i need to buy a couple of things for bub too. i need another car seat, another high chair (mine is a crappy one from ikea and maddie jumped out of it 3 times when she was younger even though she was strapped in) and im going to buy 2 baby monitors one for maddies room and one for baby's room.
there is no doubt more though.
that does sounds like a good deal you got with your car!
Emma - Your on my Facebook, but I just wanted you to know that if you EVER need anything, I live in Perth too, so feel free to get a hold of me here, or Facebook, and we can hang out or just grab a coffee/tea and just hang out, even if it is only for an hour or so - I'd be happy to help you in any way
to everyone else in here that I've not seen for a while!
Amy - We have a first years high chair that clips onto a normal chair & its fantastic, it reclines for a younger baby & the you can take the tray off & use it as a booster seat at the table when they are toddlers. We paid aroung $50 for it but its a Winnie The Pooh one, but you can pick up the plain ones on sale for $30-$40
Well we had Miss M's 1st birthday party yesterday & she had a ball. She also had the best nights sleep last night since she was 3 months old. She only woke up once & slept through a thunder storm.
Hope everyone & their bumps/bubbies & kiddies are well
xox

Brendan is now 3, scary stuff! He's 12kg and 95cms tall.
Tristan is 8 months and 6.5kg and I forget how tall. He's been crawling for about 2 weeks now. He's been referred to physio because his legs are getting worse (feet curving inwards as a result)
