hot hot hot hot hot hot hot hot hot hot.. im bloomin hot lol.. just got back from Ethans school Xmas concert and blooimin hell its hot.. lol.. did I mention its hot here today????

alicia: when is your miss Olivias Birthday? She isn't on the list.. :(

Lauren: Sorry to hear you are feeling stressed at the moment..

Lori: nah just little jellies but Simon spoke to the life guard the other day and he said while they have very small and short tentacles they still sting so we won't risk it with the kids cus it would just hurt.. SIL, and Simons uncle both have pools so we will keep cool that way.. but we got a few swimming sessions in though..

Janine.: you are busy busy busy!!

I feel bad.. I must have been the only one who didn't throw Olivia a party :( I know she won't know but I do and feel bad.. but hey we made the day special regardless..

Miss moo is asleep so I am veging now..

Nic - dont feel bad, Ashs bday is on a tuesday and only having 2-3ppl over for a late dinner cos there all working, by the time they get here ash will be cranky and have to go to bed a couple hours later so it wont be a big one for him. but i will take him out myself and just spend the day at the zoo maybe if its nice.

Hey Nic, don't feel bad hun, she's not gonna know anyway and I'm sure the day was more special spent with just you guys anyway, hey with 4 kids and you and simon i think that number of people makes a party anyway iykwim lol

LOL yes Janine it does.. Thank you.. you made me feel better :lol:

Glad you're ok Buzz :)

Hi Janine :D Yep, party is this weekend- lunch bbq for family and godparents, then arvo drinks and dinner bbq for friends.

Nic- I'm only really doing a party for the extended family, they insisted on it. Sounds awful, but I am so over kid's parties. Doing the clown and fairy thing, I reckon I've been to over 500. I've seen it all, big and small, and it zapped my energy for doing them myslef :(

GRRR i have had SO much trouble getting on BB this week and i have just done a big post and LOST it.

OH well i dont have time to re do it so i will keep this short.

Both my girls are sick. Just colds but DD1s asthma is really bad again i can see a trip to hosy this arvo if she doesnt improve :( I have a dr appt for 4 but i know if she doesnt improve on a neb whilst there theyll just send us to hosy and none of the nebs i have given her at home seem to be doing much, so i dont think theirs will either iykwim.

Molly is super snotty and yuk too so we had the worst night i think we've ever had between the 2 of them- even resorted to driving around the block at 11.30pm last night trying to settle them. I jsut hope they are better for tomo arvo as i am working.

Lori - I am doing the anti-rain dance too. Hopefully together we can have sunny skies between Canberra and Sydney! We are in a 2br apartment so we don't have the space to host a largish party so we are having it at the park. Not sure what our backup plan will be. Hopefully SIL can have us over. There will be about 23 of us but that is only immediate family, partners and their children (I have 6 siblings) and not everyone can come. Should be a lovely day but geez, the planning is unbelievable. I also thought it would be a good idea to have a Christmas lunch with my family while we are all together which I'm hosting (at my sisters house) on Sunday :doh: That is a lot of preparation but I have all my lists together and did a shop today so feel kind of organised.

Nic - of course Olivia's day was special and you made her shirts and all kinds of things. She looked like she had a lovely day in the photos. For Monique's actual birthday, DH is taking the day off and we will spend it together although we are going to a friends son party in the morning. He is turning 3.

I get the feeling you were hot today :lol:

Buzzie - thanks so much for the list. I have copied it into my calendar so I have it handy now. Hope you are feeling less stressed. Having your own place will be lovely.

Hoody - I hope the girls get better soon. How scary for Molly.

MoM - tell Dad of Many Happy Birthday. Hope you had a lovely night. How did the photo's go?

adkins - poo everywhere - oh no! Monique tries to pull her nappy off but I pin her down but thankfully I have managed to distract her with a mobile or something with the poo nappies.

Hi Bek - pop in occasionally and let us know how you are getting on. Would love to hear how you are going re pg too.

lol I use my mobile as a distraction too. I play one of the songs on it and Ty is fascinated (has to be making a noise or he tries to chew it...)

Hi all,just popped in quickly. I got the kids Santa photo`s done today,not as good as i had hoped,but it`s over with.Iam going to put them on face book tomorrow.Our visitors have just left,I`ve got a bad headache from some bubbley it was DH Birthday today & Kieren`s in 3 days.:dance:

Buzzie & Nic, We decided we didn`t want to have a Birthday party for Kieren & DH sugested today about going to Taronga Zoo with a couple of friends. Buzzie,great minds think alike.:lol: We just wanted to do something different this time around.

Well keeping it short,my head is killing me,& AF arrived yesty!!3 weeks late.:doh:
Have a good night everyone.;)

Tinsel I need the rain to stay away for Saturday as well, we have our annual family party in Canberra this weekend for mums side, just family partners and kids - probably about 60 people

Send me all your rain!!!

Nic you can have it. Will trade you 20 degrees and raining for your hot hot hot! Dh has just refilled our spa and we were hoping to jump in tomorrow. Not looking promising...

LoriRae have you seen the forecast for tomorrow? Crazy weather

No Lou I haven't, I didn't want to look and jinx myself :lol: please tell me it's going to be 30 degrees...

Nic - you can gladly have our rain. It's only 14 degrees here at the moment. The weather for tomorrow is now early showers with possible afternoon thunderstorm and 25 degrees so *maybe* we can have our bbq lunch without the rain but somehow I don't think the plan will come together plus the park will be wet.

According to the list there is a birthday today....

:happybirthday: Happy Birthday Mirani :birthday2:

I hate crazy December weather. It is always so unpredictable.

Louise - I hope it clears for your party too.

Buzzie and MoM - the zoo is a great idea. Monique loves animals. I can't wait to take her to Western Plains Zoo and stay in Zoofari Lodge. So fun.

Well NO complaining about our weather. Fine and mid 20's just the way i like it. Not cold but not too hot iykwim.

Took DD1 to Dr yesterday and as i thought she was 1 step away from hosy. I am lucky in a way that because i have been dealing with her asthma he let me go home but warned that any change and she'd be admitted and told me if it was another child whose parents hadnt dealt with it b4 they'd be admitted. I am thankful he thinks i am competent enough to keep her home. She is still on 2-4 hourly nebs but i think her steroids have kicked in as i am seeing some improvement. He checked Molly out too and she has the same virus but lucky for her (and me) her chest sounds clear. Had a rough night last night again getting up to them both several times. I am supposed to be working this arvo but am still unsure i know DH can cope but i'd hate to not be here if anything was to change.

Well my little patients are calling again so best be off.

OH HAPPY BIRTHDAY MIRIANI

Just a quick note to everyone - Trishs computer has died and will not be getting it back this year, She asked me to pass on a Merry Christmas to everyone.

:happybirthday: Happy Birthday Mirani :happybirthday:

:happybirthday:Happy 1st birthday Mirani :happybirthday:

Happy Birthday Mirani

Hi everyone, I was going to do personals but the kids need breakfast now!!!!

Thanks Lauren, by some miracle I got the computer working, well sort of. Hopefully it gives me time to get my photos all off it. I know once I send it to the shop they will wipe the whole damn thing and start it from scratch.

Happy Birthday to all the bubs that I have missed. I hope that you all had fantastic days.

Morgan, I am so sorry I forgot to post and say thank you for Abbey's birthday present. It was very lovely and is sitting on her shelves in her bedroom.

Nic, you can have our bloody rain, I am sick of it. Fine one day, freezing the next, day after torrential rains. Me thinks the weather man needs reminding that its December in Australia, not in America!!

It is supposed to be damn hot here today, can't see it happening though. We have DP's work xmas party down the city and I have a dress to wear, think I will need to dig out a jacket to take jic.

If my pc does die completely before I am on again I hope you all have a happy and safe Christmas. And of course that Santa is kind to you all :hug:

Trish: yay.. glad you got it working.. veen if just for a short time.. If you disappear again.. Merry Christmas..

Feeling a little flat today.. not sure why really. just bla I think lol.. its hot. no end in sight of this heat and well I don't do well with summer :lol: Can't run the Ac 24 hours a day so turned it off this morning and now I am melting. kids keep bugging me to take them for a swim.. simon went to work.. ah bla. Was going to take the kids to the cafe around the corner for a treat but it is just so hot and looks like rain.. ARGH I so need my license. why can't i just get the confidence to go for my damn test.. I can drive. I know I can but I donn't do well when being tested.. can't someone just follow me around and say yup she can drive.. I would feel so much more comfortable.. sigh!

anyways have a great Saturday everyone

Trish - glad its working, yesterday i brought an external hard drive to save all my photos and videos of ash - Had about 2000+ LOL i would be soooo upset if my computer crashed and i lost them all!

Nic - i hear u on the crappy weather! It was warm here 2 nights ago and i had the fan on, well the damn thing stuffed up ashs sinus and he now has a horrid cold and cant breath very well and is miserable!! cant win!! :wall:

Off to see wiggles tomorrow WOOT!!!

Speaking of wiggles, can anyone sugest any good dvds i can try for Ash. He loves wiggles and night garden and thats all he watches, mum reckons he should get more different ones. I did try baby einstien but hes SCREAMED at one of the animals and doesnt like it, never figured out which one it was tho.lol

Hope everyones enjoying the weekend!

[QUOTE=Buzzie;1558141]Trish - glad its working, yesterday i brought an external hard drive QUOTE]

Yep we did this last weekend a worthy investment i think. We have had 2 viruses in the last month and the computor still isnt right- cant use google at all.:wall:

Well my girls are on the mend though i am still in the house of boogers lol.

I ended up working on Fri and i worked tonight and go back at 8am (yes i should go to bed) so i am pretty knackered.

Molly is pulling herself up lots now :dance: She is also saying mummy ALL the time but she is sounding more like DD1 everyday so its very confusing.

Hope you are all well.

Hoody: Hop the sickies leave soon.. and yes get yourself to bed :lol:

'
Well miss Olivia is pretty much walking now.. Yesterday she only crawled a couple times.. It is so cute. Although this moring she has crawled bit She is very busy playing with some toys.. She picks up her little phone and says hewwo.. and I bought her a little purse thing for her Birthday and finally today she is playign with it hahaha.

anyways have a great sunday everyone..

Buzzie, thanks for that. I was thinking of going up to Harvey Normans. They have usb key things on sale, can get an 8gb one for around $34 I think it was. Surely that will be big enough. I haven't backed up my pics on here since I got this puter over 2 years ago. So there are HEAPS, the only pics I have of Abbey printed up are her birth ones too. Have to say I think that is the part I dislike about digital, makes you lazy at printing the pics out. And how do you not print all of them ??

So is the external hard drive a better thing to grab than the portable usb ?

Went out to DP's xmas party lastnight, got home at 1.30am, Abbey was awake for 3 feeds, Tehya woke once screaming out and I am up by 7am, not a happy mummy, esp as he slept on the lounge and only had to wake for Tehya.

All these clever bubs walking and talking. Abbey still isn't walking, she cruised just fine, can stand for a few seconds on her own, but other than that.... As for talking, well she STILL can't say mum, I think she said it a couple of times when she was crying for me, but that's it.

Lauren, what about some other music kind of dvd's like High-5, or an ABC one ? Abbey doesn't really show much interest to Tehya's dvds just yet.

Trish: if the 8gb card is for 2 years worth of pics I would buying quite a few then ;) I wonder if they run on usb1 or only usb 2.. hmm get a little tired of our 1gb card (well mp3) to transfer movies between comps lol.. be easier if I could transfer 3or 4... random thinking finished.. moving on

See Nic, I am so stupid when it comes to these things. LOL. I had assumed that that was a big one. It was the biggest they had advertised.

A way of working how much you need is by clicking on your pictures and down in the bottom corner somewhere it should say XXX amount of gb.. Or right click and hit properties and see what that says

Would that just be in My Pictures Nic ? I have all mine on a photo editing program on here. Of course My Pictures is still on here too. Maybe I need to do this after I've had some sleep....

:happybirthday: Happy Birthday Kieren - WooHoo :birthday2:

We had Monique's birthday party yesterday with our families which we ended up having in our apartment. We were cosy but it wasn't too bad. The kids did so well cooped up in the house for hours. We were so knackered after we did the clean up and we didn't end up telling the families Monique was going to be a big sister! We were on the go constantly and I wasn't really thinking about it. Will tell my family today at our xmas lunch. Monique got some gorgeous presents - mostly dresses. We did ask for clothes, books and PJ's so everyone delivered.

I couldn't get to sleep even though I was exhausted and then didn't sleep very well and Monique woke up 3 or 4 times and then we were up just before 8am. Lots to organise for the lunch today so I better start packing everything and getting myself ready.

I will catch up with everyone later.

Hi Trish. Nice to see you.

:happybirthday: :birthday2:HAPPY 1ST BIRTHDAY KIERAN :birthday2::happybirthday:

Have a wonderful day

Just a quick one to say :happybirthday: Happy Birthday Keiran :confetti: Have a great day little man!!

Tinsel, sorry you guys had to move inside. We got perfect weather here for our party, was great. Will put some pics on FB later- we got the coolest ride on toy, I've never seen them before... won't try and explain, don't think I can.

Trish- i'm a bit technophobic :D but I uploaded most of our fave pics to Snapfish as a double back-up.

Lauren- we love Wiggles Top of the Tots and Getting Strong, they're both good ones. Baby einstein freaked Ty out too.

Nic- go Olivia, clever girl, walking around!!

bbl later, I have a big whingy post to do- would you believe my dh fed Ty chocolate mud cake for breakfast????

Trish and nic - if you want to find out the size you have used Right click on the folder you have the pics saved in and go to properties it will tell u.

I brought a 160 GiG Hard drive from harvey norman for $119 on special.
I have so many tho i needed it. And a tone of videos. So works well for me.
This one can acutally back up your entire computer including emails ect if you wanted it too. - i dont but u can.
I also have a 2gig tiny memory plug so i just select the ones i want printing and take that to the photo shop, plug it in and off i go. Very easy and quick, no excuse to be lazy trish!! LOL

HAPPY BIRTHDAY KIEREN!! :dance:

Off to wiggles in couple hours YAY! Excited mummy here!

LOL, thanks Lauren. Ok my next excuse, I know you can't beat this one... I have 5 kids, and way too many pics :P

Seriously though, thanks a heap for that. I think I will just go and grab the external hard drive thingamajig, have a teeny 1gb portable usb that DP brang home from work, that will let me put ones on for printing.

Lori, I used to have a whole heap uploaded onto photobucket, that was until they shut down. Still have some on snapfish I think, all old ones.

Hi all,

Just a quick one to say that I have finally updated my ticker :-) Christmas elf Olivia for December!

alicia - very nic pic! she looks so little awww

trish - ok u beat me lol good excuse there......:D

I had such a good time at the wiggles, ash wasnt very impressed to start with, was very dark and loud. but once his fav song 'you make me feel like dancing' came on i think he actually knew who he was listening too lol
Was pretty quiet through it just sat and watched, half of it on my boob :( but i had fun anyways. hehe

- Kellie, the car was fixed whoohoo hehe

Ill put some pics up on ashs facebook when i get a chance to upload.
