Ali - the docs on Ross River Road is more for emergency use for when you can't get into your normal GP or you are strapped for cash. I don't particularly like going there at all, the waiting times are excruiting and the doctors are too quick, too speedy, too fast to even listen or diagose something bigger, they just want to get you out and prescribed some drugs.
I go to Uni-health at the hospital, they have several female doctors and they are fantastic up there. I see Anita Lowe or Prassani .... or there is another elder lady too. Anita is the most awesome doctor I have ever been to. I have been seeing her for about 4 years now.
HTH!!
Hi Girls thank you for your warm welcomes! Just thought Id pop back in and say hi. Im afraid Im not much help in the Doctor / childcare dept as we have a great doc in Bushy Beach Fiona Smith shes so lovely. And my daughther Indiana (almost 3) goes to the Bushy beach Childcare centre that opened here in April and so far its been great no problems there. Although im very keen on getting Indi enrolled in a Montessori school... Ive also only ever stayed one place in town which was Marniers North AWESOME PLACE view is amazing, we stayed there for 2 weeks when we first got to town, while our house settled. So so far we have been here a year and have absolutely loved it. People here are so friendly and welcoming. I look forward to getting out and about and getting to meet you all! Only 39 days until our next angel is born not that im counting but everyone keeps telling me how huge i am!!
Rach - Ohhh 39 days to go! How exciting?!?!? You would'nt be interested in having a Doula support you free of charge would you?? I am currently studying and only need 1 more birth to certify and at the moment I dont have any clients due until Boxing Day. PM me if you are intersted. Oh and BTW - I am pretty sure there is currently 1 Montessori school open in Townsville. I even saw the number in the phone book the other day?
RE: GP's - I go to Uni Health now but did'nt while I was pregnant with either of the girls. I see Prasani Katheeson aswell and she is great! I forgot to remind you of that yesterday Ali. Not sure of costs thought cause its free for Uni students.
To those of you coming thismorning....See you soon!
Im going to switch Jett to the Montessori school when he is 2.5 in March. Its out on a acreage and has a wait list so you might want to ring ASAP Rach.
Congrats Ali! I will bring my BC pack with me today so you can have a squiz and see if you like what you see. If so, I have their #.
Im still coming today! Just might be a bit later than set time.

Well i better get moving still have to pack clothes etc, and were hopefully leaving around lunch time as Russ just finnished work this morning and wants a little sleep. It will be my first drive on a highway so he needs to be a little alert he he...
Have a great meet today ladies, wish i was going, did any1 notify Ruby?
Talk to use all next week have a great weekend all bye bye
I havnt been on for awhile..it was a mission trying to read through the old posts.
PrincessRach the new Montessori School is not opening up now because they couldnt get the right building to use, there is already a Montessori School in Townsville called the Little Montessori School there is a year waiting list so enrol now....they dont have government funding like the new one was going to have and I think its $11 per hour.
AnnaT were you meaning the Montessori school at Rupertswood?? because that is closing down at the end of this year..I rang there first when I was making my initial enquiries into Montessori.
Zander goes to Bo Peep Day Care in North Ward one day a week.....he seems to like it although he is going through major seperation anxiety at the moment when I drop him off. He is also very sick at the moment with Tonsilitis...his last temp reading was 39.5degs so Im worrying untill he starts getting better..he is on antibiotics/panadol and im trying to get fluids into him but he isnt into it........Wyatt has 4 teeth now and is fully crawling and standing up on furniture and is sleeping through...nearly.
Hopefully we will make it to a meeting in the near future...bye for now
Wish I had time to pop in more often. Just wanted to let you know the details for reusable nappy week click here for the thread.
We are trying to make Sunday at The Strand the biggest cloth nappy meet up so pop along if you can and spread the word. Would love to see some of you there.
Hello Everyone!
Firstly what is a montessari school and what is the big deal??? Im from sa ( bush really) and never heard of it before.
Cant help out with gps either, i go to the gp at bushy beach and also love them, i usually see jai jinku. So hey rach how are you?? Im from bushy beach aswell!! My twins were going to the child care center and i loved it there, they dont go anymore as we go away for 6wks in 4wks and then move to a island soon after we get back so wasnt worth it anymore. If you want to catch up somewhere local let me know! im bored most days these days!
hope everyone is well..
Ali- for dr I love our GP at Quacks on Bamford lane! they are a little tricky to get into but worth it, a great team and SOOOOO fantastic with kids. Once you are a patient there they will squeeze you in if kids are really sick. Not sure if they are accepting new patients now but I just kept ringing asking for an appointment and eventually got in.
Daycare - Ari's is in Annandale just off the ring road near the army barracks. they are cloth friendly and I quite like them. Out of all the daycares we checked out it was the only one I was happy with but I have heard good things about a few up that way will ask around for you.
Places to stay - I love the Mecure inn, nice swimming pool and restruant was lovely we have also stayed at AAA apartments on the Strand (before we moved here) wans't flashy but nice position
Hiya Ladies im back ..
How was the meet last week?
I had a great weekend in Cairns we did not do a great deal just bumed around and ate out, we stayed at coconut caravan resort and they have two pools, a huge play ground and two bouncy pillows plus heaps more so we just stayed at the park pretty much! Love that place so darn nice ..
Nicola~ Our sons go to the same center and are in the same room, spun out lol, the director Chris is actauly my mum..
g2g getting in trouble be back later bye
Tanya its a small world!!! I dont know any of the kids that are in Zanders toddler room as he only goes 1 day a week...I drop him off and leave and lately its been drop and run!! I have met your mum a few times. He is getting better now so will probably go tomorrow...Does Xavier go everyday??
Ok then fair enough, sometimes drop and run is the best way, he only goes two days a week its only for a social thing for him....and a chance for me to do stuff lol
Just thought I would jump on and say hi again. Havent been on here for a while. Hope everyone is well. Unfortunately I dont get to come to the friday meets cause I dont have a car that day, its such a buggar really. Ill just have to keep chatting with you all on here. We are good. DS is crawling and its soooo cute. He is really clumsy and keeps falling over and if he crawls over to something that is in his way he puts his head on the ground and screams til i move it (that part is not so cute ) DD is well into the terrible twos and is driving me nuts. Have just booked her into another day of childcare cause that seems to be the only day of the week she is happy...go figure...guess she doesnt think I do a good enough job of entertaining her...Obviously I pale in comparison to Dora hahahahahahaha. Anyway hope you are all good, will chat soon.
hiya ladies how we all doing?
just wondering if any keen for a meet friday...and guess wat i got my p's today woot woot im mobile go me lol ...excitted much? lmao!!
Congrats on getting your P's!! woooohooo!!! Must be a good feeling! Not sure if we can do a meet this week. Have so much on I feel slightly snowed under, well, truth be told, I am drowning in work!!! Have taken off a bit more than I can chew atm, but, hopefully, will get through everything!!! Will try though if something is organised!
Im pretty flat out on friday for most of the day so prob wont be able to make a meet. I have a long-overdue dentist appointment for a cracked tooth among other things.
Friday sounds good to me! Get my ferals out of the house so they arent whingeing all day! I need to go to babies galore afterwards and get a belly belt and decide whether to wait till after my scan as to when to put the capsule(s) on layby.
Seriously - I already have a belly!!!! How many do you think are on board? Going by LMP I am 4w6d, going by O I am 4w4d!!!
Thanks
so excitting!!!
