Townsville Mums #4

[~*Kellie*~]

Thanks ladies for the warm welcome.

I am VERY busy and somedays wonder if I have bitten off more than I can chew, but I always seem to manage to get through it somehow!

Thanks for the invite for the tupperware/adult get together. I'll check my roster and work and let you know.

Cheers

Kellie

Kellie - Not a prob..
AnnaT - Thats ok about BBQ, totally understand, you must be tired.. I don't know how you still have the energy to chase 2 kids while your heavily pregnant!
Saram - The cloth nappies r going gr8 (thankyou!). I had my 1st poo in them yesterday, wasn't pretty (It had whole grapes in it, Tai was dry reaching!) but we got threw it!

Ruby - Should be able to make it to your tupperware/adult parties!!! Sounds like a blast!! My Mum lives not far from you around in Crestbrook so she should be able to watch kids if hubby is at work. We are going away this weekend so won't make it to your bbq, bummer, thanks for the invite anyways!

We have not done anything all holidays so being a long weekend, we are going to go up to Lake Tinaroo to a holiday house to stay for 2 nights!!! Anyway, better go, is my baby girls 5th birthday today!!!! Better make her a spesh breakfast!!! xx

Hi Gals,

[Shellbelle]

Oh ruby - I hope something comes up for him. That is terrible. I have another friend who's hubby is a boilermaker and also got laid off today. Fingers crossed for you xxxx

[shauna83]

Oh Ruby, Tai will find something soon
I saw Tanya yesterday at maccas we took the kids for a play and she is looking great!! still a little tired but good otherwise.

Ruby, Kirwan Fitness has a creche its $2.0 for an hr from memory...i dont tkae my boys they hate it, very clingy so i go at nights.
Welcome Kellie, i too have a defence DH, but he isnt away all that often. I am a married mum (25) to 2 boys lachlan 2yrs & lucas 10mths.

all good here except we have a summer flu but we are at the tail end of it now, YAY!! Lachlan is on iron suppliment due to drinking too much milk and so far his appetite has improved slightly so i dont feel so bad for havin to pin him down and forcing it in. quick run down for those not in the know..Lachlan started to go into renal failure at 4wks old and has been diagnosed with a form of renal displaysia so lots of checkups and last lot of bloods found he was borderline aneamic due to poor diet (not that i didnt feed him he just wouldnt eat) and only drinking milk which drains the body of its iron if too much is consumed. well thats us...sorry if i bored some of you :P
Oh and when is the next bellybelly catchup, i so want to come or i am offering up my place for one whenever suits..
Talk soon Bye

[Ruby!]

Hi Gals!
We have stillbeen looking for work, but its hard because it seems that all the jobs for Tai are down south So, I am sad to say that I am starting to pack the house today, pretty upset, I was really enjoying it here. We were even looking at buying a house. & the other thing is, I just sort of think, ok we'll move to wherever but then how long till they all get sacked?! Damn the economy!!
Anyway, enough of my whingeing!
Shauna - Thats gr8 that his appetite is back! Must be a big stress off you.
Would love to come to the next catch up! (Pref not Lollipops obviously because of $$)

Hi Girls!!
Well, I'm sad to inform you that I have to say "Bye" to you all. Unfortunatley, Tai hasn't been able to find work here. The jobs dried up soo quick, its scary! We have started to pack the house 2nite and will pack the rest tomorrow, then we are putting it all in storage (We'll leave the keys with our friends who will do it over the w/e 4 us) and we will leaving early Thursday morning. We're going to go to Brisbane and try and get Tai work there. I used to work at a clothews shop there, I called them and they said I could start work for them as soon as I get there so thats something at least! and if we have no luck there we will head for the Hunter Valley (NSW). I'll try and get on here and say Hi as often as I can. I'm truly sad to be leaving, really loved Townsville and was about to start study etc, its all abit depressing really but I guess you've got to just keep going.
Well gals, I hope to talk to you again soon xxx
love Ruby and Nicholas xx

[~*Kellie*~]

Hi Ruby, sorry to hear that things haven't worked out for you and your family. Wishing you all the best for the coming months and hope your husband finds work soon.

Cheers

Kellie

[alioops]

Ruby. Keep in touch hun. If there is anything I can do let me know.

[Shellbelle]

Oh Ruby Good Luck, I hope everything works out for you. Keep in touch xxx

[Ilithyia]

Hi Girls!

Well it looks like 2 of us are loving you's and leaving you's! We leave for Brisbane on the 10th of Feb.

For those of you who don't know, I got into Bachelor of Midwifery at Aust. Catholic Uni in Brisbane.

Its been a long haul to try and get into my dream course but its going to be well worth it!

It was great knowing some of you! I will try and get along to a meet before we leave so I can say a proper goodbye.

Ruby - So I might see you down there! What area are you guys looking at living in? We have applied for a house at Sandgate.

Hope you are all well....

[~*Kellie*~]

Well done Sara! I can fully appreciate the realisation of a dream and if it weren't for DH's job I would certainly be studying at a campus closer to home rather than externally. Good luck for your Mid journey, I'm only sorry I didn't get to know you a bit better.

Cheers

Kellie

Hi Sara,

Where in Sandgate is the house you applied for? Strange question - is it on Wakefield Street?

Cheers,

Kahlea

[shauna83]

Oh **HUGS** Ruby we will miss you and that gorgeous boy of yours I hope Tai can get a job in brisbane so you dont have to move too much. Goodluck!!

[~*Kellie*~]

Ali - Looking forward to seeing you and your girls tomorrow.

Cheers

Hey Kahlea!

We applied for a house in Ninth Ave but unfortunately we didn't get it.

Do you know of a rental on Wakefield St do you? If so, I'd be interested in the details if you knew them....
