Ruby - I went the other way. After living in Townsville for very close to 20 years I moved to Cloncurry when my partner got a job out here.
As MissWingBat said - its more the streets in certain suburbs that you need to avoid. And certain parts of certain suburbs are a bit scarier than others! I do agree about Kelso and Rasmussen and some certain streets in Vincent but also some streets in Heatley are good to avoid. Some suburbs are much pricier than others and I really can't see justification in some of them. But - have fun and enjoy Townsville.

MissWingBat, still no movement other than using me as a climbing frame. Have a hospital appointment on the 14th so hopefully will get an induction date as I am so over it and this little one is not coming of its own accord. Just like his/her big brother!!
BIG HEEELLLOOOOOO to everyone i have not been on here pretty much since i joined bit about myself i am 24 married to an army man we have 2 beautiful boys Lachlan Nicholas 20mths and Lucas Paul 5mths...im a SAHM and love every minute of it sometimes go crazy though...
I live in Kirwan love it...we use to live here way back in early 2000's HAHA can say that now and we got posted out of here back to our home town Perth WA, and well as you may guess we are back in TSV and have been since Jan this year.
My Master L goes to daycare mon and tues, so generally just me and master l (confussed yet..i am...) i am up for anything so long as i get out and about. I am thinking of attending a Geckos playgroup to check that out so if any of you defence mums have been advice would be lovely, like is it worth it etc...
Anyway will be on here more often for catch ups etc...BYE xxx
How are you feeling courtney??? The last few weeks drag on dont they??? But before you know it bubs will be here!!!
We live in Hermit Park..I really like the old houses and because its close to everything but its not cheap to rent or buy here. Stairs are always an issue with Zander so we have to be carefull.
Wyatt has a cold now so its not helping his sleep situation..I have been sleeping with him in the spare room. I have a phone interview with ellen barron centre on friday so I will find out whats going to happen.
Hello hello HELLOOOO to newbies & oldies & in betweeners (me?)
CourtRach - BABY???????????? Happening yet?? My bubbas went 2 weeks over so erg!!!!
IS anyone up for a meet this Friday morning? Or would you like to get to know me a bit better...
I'm 28, SAHM, bit crazy (just loopy and excited like a puppy somedays), I love to paint, love to read, (don't get to do alot of either activity with kids), I have brown-ish hair, I'm a Scorpio (passionate, loyal, vivacious), GSOH (really, really kooky humour - I'lll laugh at anything!) I like long walks on the beach... he he. Sounds like a singles ad!
It is just so hard to make friends when you have kids. I see other mums in shopping centres with kids my kids age, and I feel like walking up to them - but what do you say? It's not like at school. I tried Mothers Group years ago, but I was very young and impressionable, and I really felt my self esteem as a mother took a bit of a beating. But now I have learnt that I AM who I am, everyone raises their children differently, all children are different, and that is ok.
It is just so easy to slip into a bit of a rut as a SAHM - as in literally, STAY AT HOME. I should be aiming for "Getting Out and About and Making Friends, & At Home Legend Lady".
I would like to take a gander at Lollipops, haven't been there yet and my little man is busting his gut to RUN RUN RUN JUMP SCREAM RAAAA!! My ma normally drops in Friday mornings, but she's away for 2 weeks so I am up a certain creek... without a paddle... I would love love love to get out on Friday.
I have to get going and clear up the yard, we got a new, very naughty puppy... ERg... ("But he is SOOOO CUTE!! He is soooo cute he just won't chew up a thing!")
Hope all u ladies have a great day and a laugh at my singles ad...
Helloo everyone... god its been ages since i was on here i had page to go through!
Miss Wingbat.... you sound like a laugh.. im cool with a meet but after 10.30... i have a gym session i need to tackle first... i like the playground at the strand that the kids can be locked in or lollipops( when i dont have all 4 which i dont friday) can email me at emmaspaeth@msn.com... ive done my singles add on here!!! But im 27 almost 28, love to laugh and all that jazz, sometimes i dont think ppl know how to take me and think im weird when really im just tired! hubby works away 8 days every 6, im studying En and I have a 8yr dd, 5yr old ds and 9month old twin girl boy... i drink alot......

Hi Ladies i havent posted in here for a couple off days so thought i better stick my head back in and say HELLO ...How was everyones weekend? Mine was great, i had a really fun time, i ended up going out Saturday night and i drank far too much (that probably sounds bad, as i am a mum) but its the first time id been out in way over a year and i had a wonerful time until sunday morning, the last time i was that sick from drink was like when i was 16 LoL.
Hi Emma- Yes got my car washed Lol spent like an hr doing, dried it and everything looked great, woke up sat morning and the dew had hit it ...
Miss wingbat- love the add hehe sometimes it does sound like a personals site...ha ha..for lonely mums..
Nicola- how did the interveiw on friday go?
Shauna- my dp is defence i wasnt aware they had a mothers group :S
CourtRach- Hows things with bubs going, any movement yet?
Ruby- Hi, i have lived in tvll all my life and hated it when i was not a mum, love it now as i think there is alot around for the kids and it doesnt cost alot! I live in Rasmussen have since i was a grasshopper, just started renting out own place bout a year ago, rent is dear considering were i live but am in a new house! This can be a bad area "sometimes" but everywere can be just as bad! I think it will depend on were u want to be situated and were you find a house you like, good luck!
Well i hope i didnt miss any1 sorry if i did! I go for my P's very soon i hope still need about 30 hrs and then we will deff have to arrange a meet, ill be keen to go anywere once im mobile!
Mummy 19.... OMG if your a bad mum from having one night out then i should be in jail!!!!! I love being a mum, just love it ( okay sometimes it does get tedious but geeze hubby works away i have 9month old twins and 8 and 5 and i study with no family and barely any friends only who ive made on here) but i find you have to seperate being a mum and who you are as a person to truely be happy and maybe even a better parent, well i find i am a much better parent if i still do the things that made me emma, that define who i am and if its drinking at pub and dancing all night, studying or going to the gym then ill do it... but my kids never miss out.
Everyones different but Ive never let the kids rule my life. I know that might sound bad, but im a much better mother for it. they have all the love, attention and toys they need to be good kids...
main thing is you had a good night babe, and by the sounds of it you did!!
geeze im rambling here, ive had one to many mint slices and i think i may just be a tad hypo!!
