where do you get underbelly on dvd from?? i just looked up ebay and ezydvd and it was not there

i think blo0dy daycare just wanted one less kid yesterday so knew jem was teething so played me.... pain in the butt as i had JUST come to terms with the fact she was there and that i should do stuff around the house when they rang.... oh well
went to mothers group this morning wore her out and dropped her at daycare for lunch and nap and they have not rung me so that is good - i will go and get her later this afternoon

i have heaps of people to find for the highschool reunion - i am up to about 38 to go i think the list started at 222 or a little less but people who didnt finish grade 12 but were in our grade are invited to so whoever we find like that we tack on the end of the list - i just rang the mum of twins that were at my school so that is two less woo hoo

gooooood luck kristy!

Kel - DH got it from K Mart.... he said that they had apparently sold over 80 copies that day... apparently it was selling out everywhere like crazy! I have seen it advertised in Big W and Target too.

LISA _ Is that 20kg in O N E month? OMG that is insane! Do you mind me asking how much you are meant to lose? Don't say what you're meant to weigh, just what you're supposed to lose. I need to lose 20kg & you have just said the lucky number! I"m going to see what I can do!

[Kristy D]

Just a quick one from me just came back from the ultrasound. They didn't really tell me much they said something about the placenta being low but when I asked if everything was ok they said the DR is looking at the scans and will send them over to your Dr! Not going to get stressed I'm sure all will be fine, couldn't help myself googled low placenta and they said it is quite common at the 20 week scan and generally moves up.

Lisa - Thinking of you hun, I can imagine this would be a sad time for you.

[Lisa]

Thanks Kristy

I too have heard that the placenta can move up... so try not to stress yourself out too much... you will probably have another scan later on, but that's a good thing cause you get to see little bubba again

Hi Girls,
Kristy - I wouldn't worry either. As your belly grows, the placenta will shift upwards. I like both Luke and Rory. Very cute names.

Lisa - Thinking of you sweetie.

Kel - I got Underbelly from Coles for $80, don't know whether the price was good or not. How funny everyone is so interested in it. I organised my DH's school reunion last year. Good luck finding that many people. We did searches through myspace and facebook and also put a notice in the paper. If you put it is editorials, then it doesn't cost anything. Even if the ex-students don't read the editorials, some of the parents might and pass the message on.

Jayne - If you don't end up doing Cohens, I highly recommend the Tony Ferguson shake diet. It is the easiest diet I have even been on. I lost 7kg in a month (which is nothing compared to 20kg) and that was without exercise.

Take Care

benji is ultra excited u girls are helping me find underbelly on dvd.... i have been anti-underbelly but it is the first show apart from csi that i have seen benji REALLY want to watch and i love House so he never really got to watch it - i am going to go shopping today and buy it for him

he bought me a new vacuum and dishwasher last night i am so so spoilt! dishwasher 7 days away but vacuum in my car.... the cleaner comes today so i will let her christen it

i just applied for a job in a warehouse that sells organic food and products (including baby food) 2 days a week so THAT could be interesting...... 7am til 3pm thursday and friday, i maybe a little full on for them but we shall see

GUESS WHAT! day 2 and a half of daycare.... and i am signing a freakin "incident report' my daughter got in an incident with a bigger kid (after 4pm they get let out to play with the bigger kids coz most of the toddlers have gone home) the bigger kid ended up grabbing her mouth and cutting inside of cheek and it bled and they gave her ice to suck on... you just cant get good help! when i pick her up this arvo i am going to go for a drive to some other daycare places MAYBE some that provide food and have a baby baby group, jem's daycare place starts at 15months so she is the youngest kid there at least at one with baby babys there she will be among more little ones so "after hours" she will be most likely surronding by younger people and maybe better supervision although if i get this job it wont matter coz i will be able to pick her up by 3

kristy my SIL had low placenta when she had jemima's cousin and it meant nothing at all except that she got another scan later in pregnancy to see if it had moved i think at about 34 weeks which meant she got to see the baby again so that sounds good to me! and even if it does stay low - no stress they will probably just give you a c-section which is all good too that means a longer stay in hospital with new baby - no stressing aloud - stressing is bad for baby! so there

jayne - i agree with tashie - tony ferguson and celebrity slim are awesome diets to shift a bit of nagging weight both of them have a gazillion flavours now and are 2 shakes one meal so heaps easy to do especially when you are running around after kids, i just had an optifast shake this morning to make up for the feast i had last night, i may go to the chemist and see about getting back onto optifast but with their guidance, i usually do it by myself so will have a think about that - did u say you like to have a banana smoothy?? celebrity slim has banana flavoured shakes and i'm sure tony ferguson would too........... i have heard heaps of good things about cohens too so really you just have to decide how much money you want to spend and how much work you want to do (shakes are a no brainer you dont eat food you just have shakes, whereas cohens and other food diets mean you have to be disiplined and eat certain portions of certain foods - weight watchers is great for long term weightloss etc but too easy to cheat)

grrr weight sucks
jemima has this new thing she does she walks around pulling her shirt up and sucking her belly in! she found her belly button ages ago which is the cutest thing ever coz she has this mcdonalds shrek toy that she loves and when you press it's chest it says "i'm an ogre" or "burrrrrrrrp" or something else but it growls it so she walks around pressing her shrek button growling or she comes up to you and presses your neck and growls
so you can ask her either where her shrek button is or her belly button and she goes insane trying to show you (really funny if she is wearing a body suit)
she also like to find other people's belly buttons and lately been quite confused when other people dont have a lady beetle tattoo on thier hip like mummy hehehehe

just realised i had written a novel so i better go and do some work
cleaner comes today and jemima is at daycare sothere is no reason why when hubby gets home the house is not spotless and dinner not on the table! hhheheheheheh

mwah

ryn - where are you? are y ou ok????

[~Jayne~]

Hi All,
Just checking that Kristy's scan was mint. I'm glad all is good & like the others have said, low placenta is common & usually moves up as the pregnancy progresses further. Were you tempted to ask if they could see any boy or girl bits? I'm so proud that you didn't find out!

I will BBL for personals. I'm having a really, really, really horrid time with Jessica. I was hysterical on the phone to Alan last night. I'm basically a single mother & when she is in trouble every waking minute of the day, I wonder what I'm doing wrong. It's just horrible, today has been better, thank the lord because I couldn't have another day like the past week.

Sorry to be a drag, I just dont' know what to do with her anymore.

[Lisa]

Oh Jayne I just had a very similar conversation with my sister last night about her middle son... My BIL goes away for work and her son acts up when he is away, to the point that my sis ends up in tears... I feel for you hun... having been a single Mum of 2, I know somewhat of what you're going through. I hope things settle down for you soon.

Kel - OMG, poor Jemima!!! Madeleine had a similar thing happen to her when she went to daycare... she was 3 and a bigger girl tore strips of her little face. I was told when I arrived to pick her up, and I held back the tears until I got into the car, and then I lost it... her poor little face I hope Jemima is okay... and I hope you find a better place for her soon.

DH took the day off work to be here for me today. It has been a strange day for me because even though I think I am okay, AF arrived and it was a little disheartening to know that today is little wing's due date and instead of a baby, I have AF. I am okay, I haven't cried like I thought I would.
Whilst doing the shopping today we discovered that an ABC centre is about to open just up the road from us, and they're taking enrollments... because it has been a looooooong time since I have had a child in care, can anyone tell me if ABC's are okay? And approx how much do you pay for care and how much rebate if any do you get? Last time I had a child in care I was on a single parenting payment and paid $15 a day all up after the rebates etc.

[smylie]

they are all different lisa - i have been shopping around and the abcs are all different as well
some provide food and nappies some dont some have a weekly program some have a daily program
it makes no difference if you ask me and what everyone else has said previously is right you just get a feel for it..... prob with me is i dont love the idea so am looking for the best of a bad thing if you know what i mean
some places are really dodge though - one place i went to look at was there no longer than 5 mins and jemima was into the bin... i mean HELLO??
this place i found today everyone has a degree in childcare so that sounds ok
and another place provides food and nappies both seem really nice so now just up to availability both have varied days available......
i need to get some kind of routine in my life first before i go deciding on different days and stuff
lucky for me jemima is social butterfly of the century and was hugging the daycare leader she met 5 mins ago and playing with all the other kids like i was not there at all the places we wnt to dtoday
talking about jemima i think she is about to put my house keys in the toilet so best fix that
got underbelly on dvd for benji today !!!!!

[Lisa]

Thanks for your advice Kel.
If I was back where I used to live, I would put Harry in my SIL's Mum centre... because I know he would get most definitely get looked after there! Oh well... I was speaking to my Mum yesterday and she now wants to move down here... that would be brilliant if she did because she would love watching Harrison whilst I studied... the best option for me would be to study via correspondence, but I just don't think I would be disciplined enough for that.
I hope Benji enjoys his Underbelly dvd's... I missed out on the final episode, and tried to stay up to watch it when it was rescreened, and haven't got around to that disc yet, so I am still looking forward to seeing how it all ends (even though following the cases for years I know how it ends anyway)
