hi all,
Rory - that sounds amazing.. I may use your list for a base for mine! Thanks!!!!
IK - glad you trip was great, and Oscar is so much fun!
Baths - I think your Christening sounds wonderful - (I'm at my Mums house and she asked what I was doing on the PC so I told her about this site and read out your post to her - she said you sound "loverly" he hee)...
Jess - awwww.... ouch... huge hugs to you darling...
Oh, and Baths is right about the things falling from walls, my friends 2 yo pulled a chest of draws down on herself and was 2mm from losing an eye but is now unfortunately permanently disfigured, so sad... hopefully plastic surgery will help when she is older?
Hello to everyone I forgotten...
Me: I'm still on vacation (yes, I've been here for one month now!) just having fun with the folks, DH is back at work... Ally went swimming in the nuddy at Yamba beach today - she loves beeing in the nude! She can almost sit as well... so proud!
Look forward to chatting soon.
luv to all
CC
Happy 6 months to Ally!!! Sorry I missed it yesterday!
I've decided, after nearly bidding on an automatic bin, that I'll look for a wooden bin with a recycling section. Reason - looks nicer, but more importantly, with the two sections, and being timber, it will be a sturdy unit that will withstand Oscar trying to stand using it and it can be fixed to the wall (like sliding it down onto bolts so that it's easily removed by an adult). I've found one for $88 in Geelong and was thinking of checking out the local timber furniture shops around here to compare prices before driving out there. Just happens that I may have the opportunity to be near Geelong in the next week to visit a family friend of DP's who had a baby not long ago...two birds...a stone...hmmm...
Hi girls - geez one I miss 1 day and so much to catch up on!!!
IK - so glad to hear you back, we missed you! Go the Tupperware, its great and I love the lifetime guarantee. My GF mum had some of the old orange coloured stuff and a lid cracked (it would have to be 20+ years old!) and they gave a new container! The initial outlay is worth it. My aunty had the consultant come out and do her pantry and I am so jealous! It looks amazing. Oscar is coming along in leaps and bounds - my little possum is only just starting to master rolling from tummy to back LOL!!!
Rory - we will have to rename you "superwoman"! I don't think I could ever get all that stuff done and my place isn't very big. Hope it goes well and I like the idea of the reward at the end. Good idea about the shopping. I find if I don't make my menu plan before I go shopping, I always forget stuff or buy too much stuff but I can understand about buying stuff on special etc. NQR is great for that.
Jess - glad to hear you on the improve. Make sure DH and kids look after you well. Lots of chocolate should help LOL!!!
Neeny - hope you get the nappy bin. I borrowed one from a friend and it was great. PML about the Flat Duck!!! Might have to use that myself!
Bath - the icecream sounds divine! On new years eve, I bought a tub of low fat icecream and gave the kids some honeycomb squares and maltesers, they had to bash them in a bag with a rolling pin (boy did they have fun doing that!) and then tip them into the icecream and each had a turn mixing. They loved doing it and the icecream was beautiful. Not something you'd do all the time, but a fun treat for them. Cold Rock icecream shop sells so many different variations with Ferrero Rochers, Strawberry Freddos, gummy bears etc. LOL about the you delivering sermons - I certainly don't mind you talking about religious stuff (I am not religious), I find it quiet interesting and I might learn something to!
CC - enjoy your break, it sounds like such a beautiful place. I think all kids love being nude, but, hey who wouldn't, much cooler LOL?
Ali - I could use some of your budget tips. DH and I are hopeless at saving. I really applaud those that can stick to a budget. Hope you had a great night at the engagement party.
We went to my aunty's place last night for dinner and didn't get home until 1am! Then had a kids party at 12pm today, so been a busy couple of days. Got home today at about 4pm and did some cleaning, washing etc. I hadn't done much over the weekend in terms of cleaning so it needed to be done. Marley is eating her solids so well now. We have progressed to pumpkin and zucchini and she loves it. Might start to increase it. She is having 3-4 large cubes. Still not doing much else, just rolling from back to tummy ocassionally.
Sorry to anyone I missed, there was so much to catch up on!
Looking forward to meet on Friday, just let me know what you need me to bring.
