You would never offend us Bath Each of us has our own opinions and ways anyway, noone should take offence (unless soemthing is said to offend someone!)

Im still in bed, cant seem to shake this hangover... Normally i skull 1L of water and have 2 panadol before i go to bed, but i think i was pretty out of it when i got home last night... Im an idiot. I wasnt even going to drink, but the manager bought me drinks as the bar was the place where my waters broke everywhere, and my labour started and they called the ambulance.

Its raining here too bath, only very lightly. There goes my washing... My grass only has a few dead patches, i cart the bath water outside when we're finished with it (by buckets!) and throw it over the lawn. Hard task, but if it means we have nice green lawn, i dont care. I only do it out the back, so the kids have a nice soft lawn to play on. I cant use the laundry water, as dynamo has phospherous in it. i use that to flush the toilets

ETA enigma, you posted while i did lol Woohoo on aneta for rolling! These bubba are all getting too big, too fast. next will be teeth and crawling, then first bdays and walking... then it all over, they arent babies anymore (then all we'll talk about is how clucky we are lol)

Before I go further - IK, you can legally put Oscar in a car/seat capsule in a ute - check out the VicRoads website.

Bath, I am with Simone - you wouldn't offend us - we know you
Anyways - I don't see how anything you said could be taken as offensive. IKWYM about appearances - I used to really shy off telling people I am a lawyer cause they think we are all rich snobs but in reality most lawyers aren't. The great majority are slugging away in the country and 'burbs, trying to run a business and employ people. And IKWYM about the Emmaljunga - I justify it by saying its a handmedown and mocking it's price tag (but in reality if I had to choose a pram for myself I couldn't go past it!)

I have been so virtuous today - I have ACTUALLY DONE MY "WORK" WORK! Only 6 hours to do over the weekend and I have officially caught up. It has been so sucky these past few weeks knowing I have had this "work debt" hanging over me - everything I have done lately has been procrastination to avoid it, which meant that even when I was doing something "useful" like cleaning or washing it felt wrong and like I was being slack. So much negative energy is consumed by procrastination it is amazing!!

must go and keep up the good work - I have a new lease to read and I think I'll sit down in the lounge with a cuppa and go over it before the Boy wakes up.

Uh-oh, just when I thought today was panning out to be ok I get a call from DP who's at VicRoads to try to pay my rego, armed with a very detailed authorisation letter. Apparently because my middle name appears unaccompanied by my first name on my licence and rego, they won't accept the payment at the concession rate. He's gone all the way to Burwood for nothing. He's not happy. I don't want to be home when he gets back cos I'm going to get a lecture about making my name uniform across the board and also about keeping on top of my bills. Now we have to borrow his mum's car cos it has anchor points and is, well, registered. It's odd, cos I've obviously not had a problem before with paying my rego and the concession rate with my full name appearing on my health care card. Sometimes they just get into hardarse mode. Maybe it's a Friday thing. DP's gonna be mad and I want to lay low. I thought I'd destressed by going in for a hot soup and chai at my favourite cafe in Upwey on the way back from the doctors (I walked there, in the rain - but with a brolly).
At least Oscar took his shots very well. He cried less than the first time and it was bearable. Whipped out the boob and he was ok.
Car's unregistered so I can't even drive somewhere to be somewhere else when DP gets back! I just can't take his frown today. I was unwound and now I'm winding up again!
I so can't wait for the baby swim class tomorrow - Oscar and I will both relax. Was going to ask DP to come with me but if I do that in the next few hours he'll get very moody indeed. Well now that important stuff has been done, or not done as the case may be, I might take to the bed with Oscar. I feel defeated for today. At least this hardly ever happens to me. Wish DP could see it that way. Sorry for the vent. I feel very hard done by, woe is me, me me me me me! Nah, Just feeling sorry for myself, but thanks for your words, Bath and Simone
ETA: thanks, Rory, I WILL check that out! My dad will be very chuffed!
