Townsville Mums #4

[Andy Pandy]

Hi Ladies,
I'm due to move to Townsville in about 6 weeks, I'm really excited by the prospect but at the same time a little scared, this will be my first move away from family and friends and we are coming from Perth so it's literally the other side of the country so I was hoping to get to know a few people before we came across!

I have a 3 y/o little boy Xander who is one of these zero to 10 in 2 seconds kind of kids. Lovable and energetic. He loves to hang around with other kids and up until we move will be in daycare (I work full time) but once we move I'll be at home with him and studying so I'm worried that he'll feel a little lonely.

hi Shauna,
we are based in Armadale at the moment and so my partner has found us a house in bushland beach. I'm really looking forward to coming over, my son hasn't quite grasped the concept yet!

Shauna 83: It must be lovely having your 2 so close together!

Andy Pandy, my mum lives in Kelmscott and my DH's grandparents in Armadale. Are you from Perth originally .. both myself and my DH are West aussies and one boy was born there and the other Qld.

Bushland Beach is lovely, only 5 mins up the road from Kirwan which is where i live. Have you been to Tsv before? Everything is pretty close to everything else.
My DH is defence but is deployed atm so i enjoy the catch ups with everyone.

Rachmac, i am so sorry i didnt see your post up there, i am currently in port macquarie nsw at the moment visiting the inlaws but when i return we should try organise a catch up. My boys go to daycare twice a week DS1 mon tue and DS2 tue wed..so any day is good for me really

Having my boys close together good hhhhmmmmmmmm sometimes yes but other times no, haha!! they are very trying both of them but we dont really live a normal life what with DH being away but such is life hey!!

Talk soon...if you want to find me on facebook please feel free chooka21@hotmail.com

Hi Shauna,
I've been in Townsville a long time, but have always worked at least part time since having the boys, so apart from a couple of visits to playgroups I've never really got comfortable with a group of mums and their kids....thought it was about time, especially with another on the way! At the moment I am free Mondays & Tuesdays (except for a swimming lesson on Tues 9am) ?????
