Evening girls - I am so late in today. The man came to put skylight in at 9.30am and he was done pretty quick and I have light in my laundry (yeah!), the man for the wardrobes came at 10am and he only left at 9pm!!! I couldn't get to the computer as the stuff we pulled out of the old wardrobes was in front of computer. He didn't want to come back tomorrow and asked if it was OK - I was more than happy as I have a few things to do tomorrow. I set up portacot in my room and Marley slept well so its good practice for when we go away. Chelsea was asleep on the couch but she was very excited when I took her to bed and she saw her new wardrobes. I am so wrapt they look awesome - money well spent. Now all I have to do tomorrow is put everything away neatly. Should take me all day!! I have my appointment with Marleys new GP tomorrow so hopefully she can shed some light on my itchy child.
For our holidays, I found a hire company at Sunshine Coast that I can hire a brand new Mountain Buggy pram and portacot (inc linen) for $115 (for 19 days) delivered and picked up from our house! I hired a baby capsule from them for Marley and it was so cheap. It is called Hire for Baby and it is an Australian wide franchise. I asked the women how new the equipment was and she only started the business in December and bought all her stock brand new! Great deal, I am so excited that I don't have to lug a pram and portacot to the airport!
Nic - the show was basically about a family and their business. One of the sisters finds out that their is hardly any money left in the company (most of them all work for the father in the business). You see the father having a fight with a blonde women and his son sees them and starts wondering who she is. At the end the father has a heart attack and dies. His kids are all in awe of his relationship with their mother - very loving. But the mags reported that he had been having an affair with the women for over 20 years! All the kids have different issues - one son is gay, the other fought in Iraq and is a bit of a boozer, one sister is having marital issues with her husband and the other has extreme political views that none of her family like. Hope that makes sense but you should watch, it was good! I watch far too much night time TV!
Its a bit late to catch up on all the personals - sorry girls. I am getting a bit slack! Will do better tomorrow LOL!!!
Mel - I was wondering how you got on with the tradies today...can't believe they're done and you're not going to get stuffed around by them! WTG! I can just see Chelsea's face all lit up
CC - my post earlier about the blazer was not meant to be a lecture at you...I was just reminiscing about my blazer days It occurred to me later tonight that you could have taken it that way, and then I remembered, from knowing people going to school further up the East Coast, that blazers probably become less and less part of school uniforms (remembering photos of school dresses with cap sleeves!). In Melbourne, blazers have to be good quality or you FREEZE in winter! There are cheaper alternatives (well, there was for my school, non-wool with same school crest etc), but the wearer would have to really layer with thermals to beat the cold at lunchtime LOL!
Ok, boy is asleep and I think I want to be, too.
BTW, on the topic (earlier) of fights with DP's and DH's...DP and I just had a 'discussion' about leaving Oscar, feeding him solids, and CFA training. He seems to think that I haven't tried 'hard enough' to introduce solids and that I'm happy to just put him on the boob instead of expressing to put into a sippy cup for him. Firstly, he gets solids when he's interested, and I have some prepared in the freezer, so he can stop pontificating about that. Second, why not have him at the breast when I'm there? It's not me he'll be drinking out of a sippy cup for! The sippy cup is for when I'm NOT there, and I would have thought that my going back to riding provides a nice easement into getting food into him without me being there. It will take TIME, and I've only been leaving him for 2-2 and a half hours at a time since last week, so it's only early days. Geez, CFA doesn't mean so much to me that I'm going to force the solids issue so that I can get to training. Why am I being a 'baby-led' parent if I'm going to try to squish him into activities that, quite frankly, can wait? It's not life or death, it's not even feast or famine - it's volunteer duties and as much as brigade involvement means to me, if I have to take a back seat because Oscar's not a demon on solids (enough to be left with someone for a few hours so we can both go), then so be it. He is more important. GRRR!
Goonight all
