HI girls,

Michelle love the ticker it's a cute pic of Lani too. Great news on the smoking, I found the same as you are and we prob smoked about the same amount too. The walking sounds like a great idea. It is good to be organised, my prob is I seem to see better things closer to the time, and I have found that in Sept a heap of new stuff comes out and the stuff they had on sale in July isn't as good, or the kids see something new and they really want that, so we end up spending heaps more. Sounds like you have picked up some great bargains. I wish Jess was having a growth spurt, She mainly drinks 200mls in the morning, leaves 60ml for her brekky, then I don't make more than 180-200mls for the lunbch and arvo bottle cos she is lucky to drink all of it. Adn I make 260mls for bed but she mostly drinks just over half. She eats brekky and dinner fine, but is picky with lunch. I am still waiting for the 3rd and 4th teeth too. She was pushing the walker around last night and starting to turn it the way she wants to go, and she took 2 steps from my leg to the chair where Arron was sitting last night, we were so surprised. She is 10months today....oh where has it goneLOL

Kellee- school hols in Vic mean I have less waffling time and more stressLOL It is tough when none of the other performers have kids cos it's the same with the footy club Arron is playing for. Most of the guys are in their 20's, no kids, some gf's, even the coach (our neighbour) is only 28, has a DP but no kids or anything, it also makes it hard on Arron cos thery are always asking him to go do stuff and he feels like he is missing out. Good buy too on the colarados. You haev done so well to loose that amount of weight, is that the lowest your weight has been for awhile or forever? It is so tough being a girl I reckon, there is so much pressure as a teenager to look the right size and not even really from friends so mucha s from fashion and tv and mags. I think most girls have some sort of eating disorder at sometime in their lives. Good on you for taking control of your life and being happy with who you are is the most important thing really, not beinga number on the scales. *steps down off the soapbox* sorry!LOL

I went out delivering wallbuddies to my friends and while I was out my stupid annoying MIL dropped by....on the doorstep was a bowl of vege soup (cos she thinks I can't organise our dinner or something plus her darling ds (arron) told her it was the best soup and so now she'll bring it here all the time) and also the really cheap wall deco's that you get from the market except she has brought them from someones crappy garage sale. I don't know how many times I have to tell her we don't want other people's garage sale **** but since she knows I am buying the wall decos from wallbuddies she shouldn't have brought them cos they are so crappy compared to what I have brought. GRRRR! What is it with MIL's? Mine is just like Raymond's mother (Everybody loves Raymond) if you need a character profile, very annoying.

So now I have to be a right ***** and tell her we don't want them! I did my groceries last night at 9pm and spent 1 and a half hrs moseying along the aisles, but the bummer was I had to put it all away by myself when I got back cos Arron wouldn't help. So at 11pm I was putting stuff away and very tired.

Anyway where is everybody else, we have newbies but no sign of them. Hi to Kelstar78, Mumzofgirlz, Iris & Carmen, I know Iris is around but what of the others? I haven't seen Carmen on since Luke was very little, hope she's doing ok.

Anyway gotta fly and do somethng, what exactly I don't know LOL

Cheers Michelle
