Been reading the posts, just not having an opportunity to reply!
Got back yesterday and as soon as I got in I started baby-proofing...everything is either blocked off or on top of a table for now. Got heaps of work to do, but I can get it done without DP here to make a further mess of it! It's only been a day without him, but I'll probably start feeling his absence in two days - being that that is when he'd normally be back from strike team duties...and he'll be gone for another 11 days!
Visited the fire station this morning and it's pretty busy with crew deployments. We didn't send postcards this trip because, with all the public holidays, we would have beaten all the cards back. So, instead, we got a NZ Fire Service calendar...the girls at the station will love it!
Did some shopping to get some fresh food in the house and now I"m surfing eBay for Tupperware. I'm sick of cheapo storage that chips, doesn't seal, can't take the microwave etc. DP seemed to be ok with this idea, even though he knows TW isn't cheap. But he also hates (more than I do) dodgy storage containers. Plus, it will all stack nicely in our poxy pantry and make it look tidier. I am SO tempted to get the huge sets for about $150...a lot of money, but after buying a few smaller sets, I'd have spent that anyway! Oh, and looking for TW is SO much fun, I"ve decided!
Next Friday, I'm in! I'll drive and visit my cousin in Fitzroy on the way back - she just got engaged and I haven't seen her for weeks. What time? Dress code? What are we bringing? Should I see if I have time this week to try some of my Jamie Oliver recipes? I'm not very domestic in that way, but I'm willing to make a start!
Great news - I'm packing away all my 'bigger' clothes and storing them for the next pregnancy! Now I just also got to pack my winter clothes so that my summer stuff can breathe in there...
Nickel - I am SO glad you came back to us, don't you go nowhere, ya hear? It's great that the job ending was a good conclusion for both parties.
OK, gonna try to put this climbing monkey into the portacot so I can sort out this house some more (he is actually trying to climb walls...as in, using them to stand up...).
Will do more personals later, but I"m not going to attempt to do retrospective personals! Except...
Simone - thanks!
