To be honest I reckon he could track my posts, but he'd have to read everyone's posts to get an ID on the author. But the issue he made apparent was I could not identify DD or him. But I knew that was a cover to keep me from having friends.
Good luck on the weight loss. I think joining a gym would be a good idea too, exercise with new people. Makes it fun and Tobi can make new friends in playgroup.

Who's TTC atm? I'm definitely not lol! I have a close friend who's also my ex before XP and maybe one day we'll be together, maybe we won't. I'm giving me and therefore us time to see whether it could go in that direction, otherwise I'll just try my hardest to move north to my family.

Flutterby got her seventh tooth yesterday. She ate well up until about 4pm. Then she started getting cranky. Her cheeks flamed up, which happens only half the time when she's teething. So I gave her some Dymadon and she was ok. As dinner was cooking (roast chook) she got more and more irritable. She was screaming and I tried calming her down. She wouldn't eat dinner, so I ran her bath early. That's when I saw her nappy area bright red. Toxic poo rash. So while she was in the bath I put it all together: rash and not eating, red cheeks, her tooth must have popped through. I was right. Poor bubba. She always goes off her food when teeth actually cut. Good news though, despite not eating any dinner, she did eat her dessert. Home made apple crumble. My housemate's kids didn't much like the apple crumble but they said thay like jelly so I'll make that next roast night.

I'm thinking about making a layby for cloth training pants. DD might be ready to start toilet training in summer and I'd prefer to not need to constantly undo and do up cloth nappies. Darlings DownUnder do laybies, and i think there are other sites. I'm just unsure what size and type to get. Do I get the cheaper $14-16 ones or splash out for the nicer covered, more absorbant ones $20-30 each. What are your thoughts?

On another note, thyroid deficiencies/overactivities are very common after pregnancy. Its one of the main causes of depression, weight trouble and other things. Some people get it worse than others. I hope your doctors are trying hard to right things for you.

Love to you all

ps i tried to post and four of you posted as i was typing and the thread changed. dang i'm slow lol

I so thought I was in with a shot at being first - and only got 3rd!!!

We did seem to fill the last one quickly didn't we....

Tash, you look awesome at the moment and I can understand the goal weight etc, but I'm with Kel, don't beat yourself up if you don't get there..... maybe wait till a couple of days before DH gets home, then shave (or wax or whatever...) your legs - you never know, after so long it might shed another 1/2-1kg !!!

And along the topic of budgets, we have gone through phases where we've had them, but I just can't really keep a close track these days.... when we were reeeeally skint recently (before my lovely mother saved the day) I would only have to know the bank balance to know what we could and couldn't afford - ie usually nothing nonessential!! Life is a bit happier these days, and we are starting to even pay off some debts.

The one thing that I do though, is I worked out last year our fortnightly cost of utility bills/expenses like car etc... (minus groceries) and I have an automatic deduction of that amount from our bank acc into our ING direct. Then whenever I pay a bill, I take back that amount - it's a very simplistic and some would say silly system, but simple is good for me and the money earns good interest in ING while its there - its also nice to have a little stash for emergencies.....

Am going to set up a kids saver for Monkey when I get my butt into gear.... I know heaps of you already have those, I'm usually behind!!!

hey - where did you find out that??? do you know someone who has personally had it?? i would love to talk to them??!! i think my doctor is on the ball though really trying to sort things out

i am TTC but apparently all the hormones needed to do so are low for me at the moment so as soon as that is fixed i will be prengant again, benji has been wanting another baby since jemima was born!

tashie - 8kg since he went away that is so cool, i almost wish benji would go away so i could have that kind of motivation!!!

Hey Girls,

Had a great morning met a friend and went for an hour and a 1/2 walk around teh Perth foreshore followed by hot choclate and scones, and baby free!! Julian took Erin to his Parents and are still there so I have cleaned the house and feel very content. Bugger though My water bottle leaked all over my mobile so its stopped working so looks like I will have to try and buy a cheapy one and put my sim card in it.

LISA - I used to before having Erin be Customer Service Manager for a model car company i was there for 6 Years. Thanks to that my hubby also has a huge collection which are still packed away in boxes since we moved. I would say her wooule have close to 300 and they are teh large 20 cm ones. I would love him to sell them as talot of them are autographed by the racing car drivers like Brocky, Moffat and **** Johnson. They all have numbered certificates and as I was staff I used to get all the low numbers like 3 and 5 so I would say his collection would be worth close to $20,000. I have buckleys chance of him selling them.
PEG - Yay for another tooth, Erin has a mouth full wouldn;t evern be able to count how many. Good for you thinking of toilet training already. That is another hurdle we will have to face.Glad you are getting things on track honey and good luck with the potential partner.
TASH - you have done favbulous hon,I reckon DH will be jumping out of his skin to see you.
KYM - Yay for getting stuck into those debts. I know on one wage we just seem to stay the same never really getting ahead. I guess when I am back at work we will see that we are making progress but I know we are alot better off then alot of people so thankful for that.
KEL - I have great confidence that this DR will sort everything out hon, I reckon you will announcing a BFP before anytime at all.

Well girls, washing needs hanging then cup of tea and relax before cyclone Erin comes in the door!!!

**Lisa** · June 1st, 2008, 05:58 PM

Oh Kristy, my DH would marry yours if he knew that!!! lol

Harrison has broken another tooth through!! Yippee!!! He is catching up but still behind... it is the top right side one for him... so that is 3 now... hopefully this explains his non eating phase.
Grrr... gotta cook some food for dinner now... I will try to get back later to do personals

Kel
I'll google a heap of info for you if I can find it. I remember reading it somewhere ages back. It was when I had depression last year. I thought it was my hormone levels, which were normal. It was the Implanon that messed me up. But that doesn't happen to everybody. Anyway, I'll look stuff up for you sweetie.

Tash
Keep the motivation up! Its great you have a goal and trying so hard to stick to it. I'm just lazy. I still want to lose maybe 5-10kg and in actual fact since I don't have any scales, I don't know how much I weigh. I want to be 65-58kg.

Lisa
DD really goes off her food when teeth cut, its normal for her so maybe its normal for Harry.

Kristy
Nice having bubby free time. I actually enjoy the time DD is with her father. Although its not enough time to do anything worthwhile, I just relax a bit. Take all the time you can to focus on yourself.

I don't collect anything really, just books. I mean I do read them and I have reference books that are probably a bit too much out of date. But yeah, that's my faux pas. Every time I go by a bookstore or those discount table sales, I end up buying something. Either for me or for Flutterby. She's got so many books. I bought her some new ones on Friday. At the post office they had 10 Little Books for $10. I went in to get prices for mail redirection and ended up buying books. Sigh, oh well its not necessarily a bad thing. DD loves her books. She turns the pages and looks at the pictures and murmurs interestedly.

I shave my legs about once a month. Underarms about every 2-3 weeks. What's the point, its winter and noone will know anyway. Can't wait till it gets warmer. I hate the cold.

As for my friend, lets call him Jim, I have a feeling nothing will become of it. He works 7 days a week, and as part of my lease, no men are allowed into the house. In respect of the residents and to protect us. The last thing they want is women relapsing and getting abused in any form and also they don't want us to accidentally get UTD.

Enough chatter from me, xoxo
