Welcome to mummylovesjaykob and Sharon, good to see new faces (ykwim)!LOL
HI Rose, good to hear things are well, was wondering how you were, hopefully you can pop in from time to time just to let us know how things are.
Well the storms knocked our power out for16hours yesterday and I was highly stressed. Jordan and Josh went to school (no power there either) but at least they could see the other kids and not be bored at home. Jemma totally didn't get that videos tv and heater don't work. When the kids got home they trashed the house playing, and Arron was helping his dad cut down trees which had fallen over the driveway, one just grazed his car, a small dint in the roof, he was very lucky. Someone ran up the bum of my brothers car and he has whiplash, but other than that he's ok. The power came on after I cooked dinner, we ate by candlelight, I washed the dishes by hand and sterilised the bottles by boiling them. Oh and after we lit all the candles we could find. Lucky for us the power did come back before bedtime as I have 2 that sleep with lights and that was going to be a huge problem. It went off twice throughout the night but was on again in the morning, thank goodness.
Josh finished his first week at school and also got a gold ticket (positive reward) for being tolerant of others, so I am very proud of him.
We went shopping for my Mum's 50th bday pres today, I brought her a crystal vase and I also got Jemmas bday pres which means I don't have to go back to the shops before her bday on the 21st of Feb. I brought her those gorgous sheepskin boot but I gave them to her now, and I got 3 tops, 3 pairs of pants and a gorgeous cardigan, walked out of the shop $175 poorer though, but kids need clothes and presents LOL!
Tomorrow is Mum's bday so we have her party to go to at 6pm. Dad also found out today he has diabetes, which was a bit of a shock, he won't know yet about managing it until next week but he is pretty upset about it as it is a whole lifestyle change.
Arron took Jordan and Josh to the races across the road from us and so I am home at the moment and the girls are both asleep.
Jemma's fingers are very black and still sore and she has a graze on her nose too. She was very sad for the next day.
Spiddles I don't doubt that you have been busy as the storms were just terrible, heaps of trees down everywhere too.
Michelle- great news for Lani to be 6kgs, she is very long!
Sorry there are no more personals as I have forgotton what everyone said and I am so tired.
