MAKO _ So sorry darl, I wasn't sure if I should mention it, the last thing I wanted to do was upset you, but I had to be honest, when I read your post it was the first thing I thought of. I apologise..........
BUN _ Oh sweets, I'm so sorry to hear that you're not getting any help, I really am. What happens if your mum just persists with Josh? Is he 'outta sight, outta mind' with you? Or he just screams the ENTIRE time? I know that Claudia used to scream if somebody was trying to do things with her & I was there, but if I was gone, she would be fine? I'm surprised that your mum isn't being so helpful, I remember you raving about her to me! What a shame. Especially as now you have moved back, you're questioning why. That sucks! Well, you know that Josh LOVES me, so you can always come across to Qingdao & I'll happily send you off to Zara while I play with Josh & Catherine. lol I'm glad to hear that you have found a house, at least that stops you living out a suitcase & you can start being a family & getting back into a routine. Pity the house is a shocker, but it's a start! It's only upwards from here. Oh & Banjo is 'boarding' with my MIL. He was meant to go to my bestie's as she lives on a property, but a few weeks before we left, her Golden really laid into & bit another dog. Banjo being a pup wouldn't leave Max alone & I would have hated for that to happen to Banjo. So he's at my MIL's keeping her Lab company. He has fitted in beautifully & he gets a walk every morning & a swim in the afternoon. My MIL is so energetic so it's really worked famously. The only thing I found was that I was OTT with brushing him & his coat always looked fabulous (not being a snob, just keeping it real) & she isn't brushing him as much. I had to cut a few dready's out his coat over Christmas & I bought her a new slicker brush to try make things a bit simpler. I'm not overly fussed though, I can sort that out when we get him back. The main thing is he is loved & fed & kept busy. I have to admit, I do really pine for him. Banjo was such a big part of our lives. Claudia draws a picture of Banjo nearly every day at school & constantly asks. She even talks to him on Skype. He knew over Christmas who he belonged to though, we took him everywhere with us. I couldn't say goodbye to him the night we left again though. I know that sounds dumb, he's just a dog, but he's just MY dog....... Our cat Pokey will be a whole new story though. He is living at Alan's grandmothers house who is getting older every year & has certainly taken a big shine to him, I think it would be cruel to take him off a lovely old lady - but we'll see. Pokey really belonged to Jess, I bought him for her & she LOVES that cat, OMG she is as OTT with the cat as I am with Banjo. Whilst I love Pokey too, I'm not as crushed. lol
BW _ If the dummy is stressing you, I say get rid of it, if it's not that much of a big deal, let it stick around a bit longer. Michelle is SO on the money, you either take it off them when they can't ask for it or you wait until you can bargain with them. While Jess had a dummy, I took it off her when she was 12 months old, but she STILL has a cuddle-toy & she is 6. So you could really say that's a dummy of sorts. It's her security item. Same with Claudia - she never had a dummy but she has one of those pooh bear comforter things. A pooh bear attached to a lil blanket thing & that's her comfort, but she isn't as worried as Jess is. If you check FB I'm sure that majority of Jess' pictures, there is Piggy somewhere there. Usually tucked under her armpit. The whole family is attached to Piggy, my sister talks to Piggy on Skype! It's hilarious.
MICHELLE _ Is it too early to start counting the sleeps??????????
LEE - 3kg in 3 weeks? That's awesome! WTG! What a great achievement! I'm so jealous!!!! I am in a serious plateau - mentally & physcially. I just can't get back on that wagon. You are inspiring me though............ Oh & nice work for the kids waking up Flynn. Have I told you before how much I love the name Remy? I love it!
SPRING _ Of course you are spesh, you are so spesh to me. I luffs you so much! What do you mean 'am still' fat? You must have 'got' fat since Melbs because I didn't think you were fat. Yes, yes, I would be so excited to see you in Sydney in July.
BEK _ How's the training?
JANIE _ Where for art thou?
LISA _ How you feeling today Chook?
WILLOW _ You must be wading at the beach........... J E A L O U S.
DEB _ Thinking of you my love.
AFM - Well today hasn't been AS cold, so we went rollerskating down at Marina City. Then Zara has a fabulous sale on & I got 2 beautiful lil outfits for my new niece for Easter & the kids some skivvy type tops to wear under their uniform. Then off to Maccas for lunch which I am proud to say I didn't eat & then the kids were being so good I let them get a nail polish each. So guess I'm painting nails after rest time. Alan is at work all day today then a work dinner tonight, so we are just chilling at home. The girls need a traditional Chinese outfit to wear for their Chinese New Year Spring Festival Performance at school next Friday, so I might venture out again later to find something. Also have an appointment at 10 tomorrow morning to view more apartments, so wish me luck we find a beauty.
