    Welcome Kellie!! Wow, you are a busy woman!! When do you get a day off??

    Shell - If you want a workout buddy I am ready and rearing!! I need to lose 10 kilos by march 31st so I can start trying for baby number 2!! You will look gorgeous at your ball, your a blonde bombshell!!

    Has anyone heard from Tanya??

    Taking Nick to a specialist today, found that he has been getting a white dot in his eye instead of red eye so I took him to an optometrist yesterday and took the pics with us, but Nick wouldnt sit still so she couldnt get a good look at his eye, so referred us to specialist. Cross your fingers 4 me, I think its nothing but you know how it is, you worry anyway.

    Oh ruby - baby number 2 how exciting!!!! Yeah I am always up for a workout buddy - I just need the motivation of someone else to tell me to get my butt off the comp and do something!!!! Also, DH doesn't like that I spent so much to join the Gym and don't go

    Anyway, I better get off here and find my shoes and socks!!

    Hi girls!

    Welcome to Kellie. As the username states, I'm Sara. I have 2 girls, Briley and Colby. I am also an aspiring Midwife and am going through the whole application process with QTAC at the moment. I have stopped and started my Bach of Nursing 3 times out at JCU and have now given up and am applying to the unis that offer Bach of Midwifery around Brisbane. Are you studying with UniSA??? I applied to them too last year but they wanted me to do my Nursing for the first year and apply for a transfer. I had to be getter all distinctions to have a chance at my transfer being approved though. How are you finding the course?

    Shell/Ruby - I go to Kirwan Fitness 3 days a week. By myself! I drop the girls to Kindy Monday, Wednesday and Fridays morning and then head over to the Gym. I am usually there around 9.05 if either of you want someone to work alongside.

    Smile Hello Townsville Mums

    Hello Townsville Mums

    My name is Sarah I'm 35 and I've 3 children Emily 3 and twin boys 14 months Thomas & Jake, we are currently in the UK but are hoping that we are moving to Townsville in July/August time, although my husband will be coming before Easter if he gets the job he is applying for, which is looking quite certain.

    I was hoping that you'd be able to help me with any toddler groups, places to go, places to live, schools and anything else really, unfortunately I'm leaving behind a fantastic group of friends who I meet up with all the time and Emily has already started preschool here and we are really quite settled, so I'm quite worried about being by myself whilst my DH is out at work all day, so any info at all would be greatly appreciate.

    Thanks
    Sarah

    Hello Sarah and welcome!! well it really depends if you prefer to live closer to the city..although its not that big..we have always lived in kirwan and find it fantastic, if you prefer to be just outside of town Bushland beach is another great area. I dont really know of any to avoid but I am sure some of the other girls will have more info..
    Schools....well mine are not school age but again it depends on where you live as to where they can go as the schools are zoned.

    There are plenty of registered playgroups through playgroups australia which you can look at on there website or then there are just mothers groups for catch ups at playcentres etc, which is what most of us do

    Sorry i am not much more help.

    Hi Sarah!

    I live just out of town in Bushland Beach, which is a lovely new estate, had no problems with being here! Its not that far to get into town, I do it often enough no worries As for playgroups etc, I just catch up with different friends here and there, and that makes us happy enough. I know a few groups you could go to, you'd always be more than welcome

    If we're still here in July/August Id be more than happy to catch up with you! I will have a 3yo son, a 18mth old son (same age as your little boys as he's 14mths now!) and a few-months-old son.

    Im still here

    My parents arrive on Friday morning for the weekend and are leaving on Monday morning. I so wish Mum would say that she wants to stay and help, but I kind of doubt it. She will be up in June for a while though, but DH will be home then too.
