Awesome - thanks I'll check it out!
Hi guys - thanks for all your well wishes and well I survived my first day back at work in over 12 months!!! :dance: I had a great day and everyone was so happy to see me, it was rather humbling! It was a killer getting up in the dark and the traffic was the absolute pits. It took me 1 1/4 hours to get to work. They are doing road works and I didn't think it would be that bad, will definately be taking a different route on Thursday. I didn't really do much today, just chatted to my replacement who is leaving at end of July. Thankfully she is staying on to help me ease into it. I spent alot of time chatting with colleagues (typical of me!!!!), catching up on office politics and meeting some new staff. It was much better than I thought it would be and I can't wait to get more familiar with new students and get stuck into semester 2. A few of us went to the new cafe and it was fantastic, so much yummy food. Won't be buying my lunch too much as its pretty pricey. I only rang DH twice, I did miss my baby. Got to hear her crying in the background as she sucked DH into getting her up to early and she hadn't had a proper sleep. It was a bit sad hearing her cry but I could tell it was a tired cry. Traffic wasn't bad on the way home, only 35 minute run. Marley was very happy to see me, which was nice. We had a big cuddle and she clapped her hands (the latest of her tricks!). Chelsea didn't really notice much different! Roll on Thursday lol! You guys have chatted so much today, feel like I have missed so much!
Tali - PML about the cat bikkies!!!! They must taste aweful, I hate to think how bad the poo smelt! Love the new ticker picture
IK - I haven't even got on the database yet, need to get a new password! Sounds like you are having fun having your sister back. Your niece must be such a cutie .
Bath - whats the big announcement????? I haven't had time to trowl through todays post, might do it after this. Is is something about memberships? Hope so, as I filled in the survery last night and that was one thing I mentioned. How do you PM?
Suprisingly I am not that tired, but will make sure I don't have too late a night.
Mel! great to hear all about your first day back... I've been on here all afternoon though and am off to bed but I don't know what the announcement is yet BUT yes yearly membership is back! At $39 p.a. Julie has signed up and I'm going to do her avatar! I'd love to do yours too one day! Oh and to PM you click on the person's username and a drop down menu will now include "send private message...". I sent one to you..... did you get it? You can click "reply" down the bottom of it. To access your PM file look up the top right hand corner and you will see a link to it under "welcome LoveMygirls"... Good luck :) Nighty nite everyone!
Glad you had a great day Mel - shame about the travel time - ow!
It's no good i can't stay up for the 'announcement' any longer, i'm going to have to go to bed.
nighty night

Hi all,
sorry i havent had a chance to get in for a few days, ive just spent my lunch time catching up on the last few days posts. I too do not know anything about the announcemnet, has it been announced yet? I'll try go find the post about it to fill me in.
Mel- Glad your first day back went alright. And i loved the photo's. Wow their all so much more grown up now arnt they! I just did a scrapbooking page of BB friends and had a couple of pics from our last meet up at Rory's aswell as a pic of Cody & Nix in qld. Marley has hair! i agree with Bath's comment (i think it was) a while ago that Marley's has prob had the most growth spurt in the last few months.
mumzy- congratulations on your BFP how exciting! add you to the list of preggies in here lol!
wiggles- it was good. But i think Nixon was too young. He didnt really notice the difference of them "live" as appose to watching them on the tele. Watching my neice and her 2.5-3yr old friends was much more exciting to see them get the enjoyment out of it! Nixon didnt want to stand, he wanted to crawl all over the table which was an effort to stop him from toppling over. No prams allowed and we had to wait over 30min to get in. Luckily mum was with us and she held Nixon for me most of the time
Mandy- welcome to BB, lovely to see you in here. I do not know Rae personally face to face but we had mentioned that once i moved back to Sydney we would have to meet up as well as Fletch and her boys (do u know them also?) I dont live in Penrith but dont mind travelling that way, my parents are in Harrington park so when im out that way its only about 30min drive. Next time you speak to Rae see if she's still interested in a "catch up" and let me know!
Happy Birthday Lucas!
and Happy belated birthday Alexandra
going back a few days topic, we actually conceived Nixon out of wedlock and was just 6weeks pg at our wedding! I also have a tat and wanted to get another for a while now but no real excuse why i havent. DH good friend is an awesome tatooist so i really should get him to design something nice for me, He has been trying to lay one of DH for many years but he always wusses out!
Its my dads 60th today, my sister and i have organised a luncheon on Sunday with 30 of his close friends. He thinks it just us as the family going so hopefully its a surprise. we also organised a big banner for the day, anyone thats seen past pics of events ive had my dad always got awesome banners etc made from a sign writing mate of his, well its his turn! and he did up this cool one that is on a stand, has a pic of him as a baby and a recent one, no missing it thats for sure hehe!
Hi all,
like I have said before I am very new to all this stuff, so what is all this about an announcements is something happening that I should know about? and what about the membership stuff what does that mean do we have to join and if I do what does that mean for me, or can I still just keep do what I have been doing? sorry I know it will all be on the Belly belly somewhere but it could take me weeks to find it out. Could someone please tell me what cookies are also
IK I think it funny how small the world really is 6degs and all it really is true. Good to know it all worked out for bec in the end. As i left school at the end of yr 11 and dont talk to anyone from school anymore as I moved around too much plus beening married at 18 they were all to busy with the uni thing anyway tell her hi ( dont know if she will remember me.) but my full name is Natalia.
We will defently have to catch up when I go down to melboure mind you I get very home sick when I go down and always want to stay I even looked at housing prices yesterday and thought they were cheep compare to up here but my husband has to fly out of queensland for his job so for now we are here.
many of you talk of work are there any stay at home mums here or am i the only one? what do you all do or what are you studying I wont be going to work until Kai is at school and even then I dont know what I want to do have a friend who's baby went to school last year and now she is pregger's with number 3 so dont want that to happen so might have to study something before I go back.
well better go Kai has woken from her nap and want lunch

I'm another sahm, no plans to go back to work until kiddywinks at school (though i went back to work when Oscar was 4 months old until i had Will so btdt as a working mum too)
No you don't have to join - just carry on as is - it's just an option of paid upgrade so you can have an avatar, bellybelly email, post in a few different forums and a few more things i'm sure.
I know what cookies are but can't really explain so maybe let someone else do that (aprt from the tasty choc chip ones mmmm - now im just being silly)

Tali- Im a part time SAHM! 2months ago i went back to work 2 days a week but only for another 2 or so months and i will be off again with bub2.
No plans to come back after that will depend on our situation however idealistically i would like to continue and go further with Tupperware, Ive enjoyed it so far and the flexible hrs, good wage and great incentives makes me much more happier then an office environment with no incentives!
Julie, you should know better than that...there is no silliness in this thread ;)
Tali - I'll ask Bec! I'll tell her you're living it up in sunny QLD! She's absolutely turned out ok - newly renovated house, great kids (the boys are lovely and polite), and You have such a pretty name :) My chosen girl name has a similar ring to it...just gotta have a girl baby now...
Nic - I was wondering how you were getting on! I hope Oscar doesn't get infected with Wiggle-mania, but I guess we'd need to watch TV for that...so far, so good!
Ohhh Ik the wiggles are cool, .....he's missing out, lol.;)
Although in all seriousness and in general people don't give anough credit to media literacy. It is still seen as taboo when it comes to child development. It is actually very important for our children of today and the future they need to be exposed to all forms of media literacy as for them that is what the world is all about. Wiggles, Hi 5, hooley dooley's and dora play an important role in children's learning and development. Wow I learnt alot this semester, lol. I learnt that television is okay and is actually an important learning device for our children.:lol:
Kelly is making an announcement NOW... check your inboxes!
Nah, one day we'll get round to turning on the TV. It's not a restriction we place on Oscar, we just don't seem to turn it on for doing other things around here! I noticed I stopped watching TV when I got into horse riding competitively, years ago.
ohhh how cool, see you in there
Just wanted to say Hi.. I read most daysbut don't post since I am at work.. Wish I could log into the chat room .. oh well.. I was wondering how teh wiggles would be was thinking of going in dec but decided Caitlyn would be to young - we watch it occasionaly but she doesn't sit still to watch TV... (so not my daughter)..
Guess I better get back to work .... Big hi to everyone...
Bath can u tell me what it is! Im at work and cannot check my home emails....
Hi Emma! hwat a cute piccy on your ticker hehe.
Well my take on it was Nixon was too little, i only went cause my sister asked me, and my mum also went so had a helper! I wont be taking bub2 before he is about 2yrs old i rekon. Nixon does not watch tele all the time but he definatley loves the wiggles, tell him its coming on he gets excited, sits still for maybe 10-15min of it starting.then decides he has had enough and starts doing other stuff.
oh i thought i uploaded it but havent yet, i took a pic of Nixon lying on his lounge watching the wiggles, drinking his milk a few days ago. V funny pic i title it "typical male" instead of watching footy drinking beer he's watching wiggles drinking milk on his fav couch!
Nickers it LIVE CHAT yaaaaaay
Hi Emma, great to see you about
