Hi guys, its been a while ! I guess ya just tend to get caught up some days... especially once they get involved in different sports. We have swimming 4 afternoons a week here and Mitchie has just started mums and bubs yesterday and loved it so we actually go to the pool everyday now. Plus the girls just signed on for little athletics on a wed afternoon, so thats every week day taken care of, plus running DS to work a few evenings a week. I think i need an assistant
Anyway on the car issue........ i know you are not really into vans Divvy but they have gotten better over the years.
We have 6 kiddies and some big teenagers so we needed the leg room and unfortunately most 4wd just don't allow for that! So we were looking at getting a tarago and then hubby came across the Mitsubishi Delica..
Let me tell you this is a great van, it has a nose on the front ( which was a issue for me) i like having that bit of room in front of me. You can get either a 7 seater with captain chairs in the middle row or a n 8 seater. By getting this you have the van advantage of leg room and its also a 4wd too
This was our compromise vehicle as hubby really wanted a 4wd and all i cared about was knowing that the kids were not sitting with their knees around their ears. If anybody is looking for a new vehicle i highly recommend these, basicly they are a pajero base ona starwagon shell. THey will go pretty much anywhere any other 4wd will go if you know how to drive a 4wd.
So thats my little input but seriously have a look on the net at them they are great!
I am not sure if its ok to join as you all have a connection with each other and know each other well, so would make for a lil uncomfortable for me, but I would love to get to know everyone if that is ok. I tried once before but barley anyone would respond to me as no one knew me so I just stopped joining in. BUT I am really wanting to be able to have some adult conversation as I am not able to leave house very often as my pelvis has not fully healed and I still cannot move too well some days. Anyway hope I can become part of the "Group" this time and have a laugh, cry whatever with you all.
Thanks for the reply sweetie. When I was pregnant with Pheeny I had alot of trouble with my pelvis, not sure if you remember it or not but I could barley walk with carrying him. And it still has not settled yet doc said it is called pelvis something, lol, cant remember dys something! Oh I am stuffed if I know what its called! I still cant sleep in my bed because of it and so have been sleeping on the lounge chair for almost five months now. Driving me mad to be honest. I am looking forward to it settling down so we can start ttc number 7.
Hi Soul! Sorry you're STILL not feeling back to normal. How is Phoenix going? Babysitters--this is driving me made atm. I have to take DS to an eisteddfod tomorrow afternoon (in Abermain for all you HV girls). DH was supposed to be off so that a) he could sleep/rest at home while the babies slept in the afternoon and b) so I could spend some 1 on 1 time with my oldest. NOW dh has to travel for work and can't do it. So I am supposed to load the two little ones in the car, give them a quick car nap & then amuse them for a couple of hours while we wait for all the speech & drama performances which somehow never happen on time.
I rang my usual babysitter, who is a grandmother, but she cannot come b/c she has a family event on that afternoon. It is SO HARD to find someone who is happy to watch older children and babies, and someone who can come during the day.
I also need her next week...once again dh is suddenly going away for work...and she has jury duty!! OK I can't complain too much about that....but again the big two have an afternoon event, planned for a long time, that I have to attend (at least part of it). We don't have any family nearby, unlike everyone else in this city, it seems.
OK, vent is over! Hope you are all having a decent day.
Hi storm, yeah well tell him they are awesome my Dh is addicted to ours!!! Tell him t look online at the delica website ( do a search) and then he will see what other delica owners have to say bout them. It is a great compramise vehicle.
Hi and welcome soul, i am relatively new on here too and everyone has made me feel apart of the group, so i am sure you will feel welcome.
I had probs with my pelvis with my girls, my body was producing too much progesterone? adn made all muscles soften and therefore not supporting anything properly. My pelvis was always sore and use to crack when i walked and rolled over in bed! It was very painful, so i really feel for you hun.
Hi Castle, darl i really feel for you . We have the same prob, no family to rely on ( some close but not willing) and DH is very rarely able to help so i feel like i have to split myself to keep up! I hope you can find someone to help ease the load.
hi guys welcome soul im new as well and everyone has made me feel welcome as well .sorry to hear about your pelvis i had alot of trouble with mine when i was pg with jess but now its ok thank god for months after i had jess it used to .affect my back and if i uesd to stand for a long time it used to kill.sorry about your trouble with your babysitter castle hope everyone having a great week bye
I love our Kia carnival, it is a van but i DON'T FEEL LIKE i AM DRIVing a van at all. The 4wd would be greeat to tow our boat, so one day we may get one but will have a van for the everyday car
Ouchies on the pelvis Ladies!!
Castle is I lived a little closer I would offer to babysit, but grrr I know what you mean, it is so hard & Zaccie will not sit still for 5 mins.
Soul number 7???? wow, we are thinking of #6 soonish, good for you!!
I will get DH to look at some tonight! Thanks Katstribe ( or can I say Kat?)
HI to everybody else, gotta dash to pick the bigger kidlings up now
yeah of course you can storm, much easier and most call me kat or kath so whatever you put is cool with me.
Mmmmmm number 7 !!!! I have thought seriously about that but DH isn't too keen, loves having a big family and would be keen to have as many more as i want if money wasn't an issue. So i guess i will be stopping now! Unsless fate says otherwise
Anyway best go get tea and baths done and then all the other wonderful things that must be done
Its funny because its more that I know #7 is going to come more so than I am going to ttc for He/She does that make sense? I feel I know that there is another one waiting in the wings to join our family. Do any of you feel like this?
I feel like that Soul, whether we TTC or not I just know !!
He he I like your thought Kath, they are just like ours!
We are al lback together now, Dylan came home last Mon, he was gone for 1 month & 2 days.
i think you know when youre done and you know when you want more .i think i want more not too many just one would be enough .im the same as u katsribe money is an issue kids are expensive
LOL! Mine would never get the chop & I would never get my tubes done again, & the pill makes me depressed & anti dtd, so I wonder what we will do ??????? LOL have lots & lots of kiddies?
I find it hard to say 'I don't want more kids.' It just seems too negative iykwim? My rational mind tells me that things are good as they are, and another would be stretching it....
Well i would love one more for many reasons (mainly just cause i love kids ) but also for Mitchie so he has someone at home as he will be at home all day every day with me for 5 years. My last two girls were close (21mths apart) and they adore each other and i would love that for mitchie too.
As for getting anything chopped or snipped not likely!!! DH and i have both said we came with all our bits and we will go with them too. I can take the pill no worries, but i am not taking anything whilst i am BF though. I figure we were trying for our second last one whilst i was BF our third last and i couldnt concieve and as soon as i stoppped BF i fell straight away.
So if i am meant to have another then it will happen
I think you are right jessabell you know deep down (but sometimes you have to help DH to see the light) but unfortunately money does come into it ( if only it grew on trees like our kids seem to think)!!!!
