Jess that is a fantastic result - keep it up
Bath and Ali - great avatar!!
HIYA!! to everyone else
DH passed his firefighting aptitude test so now he is down to the final interview.....sometime between now and DecemberThe waiting is going to be the hard part but the other good news is DH HANDED IN HIS MASTERS!!! Ok, he has one paragraph of the literature review to finish, but he is finally able to take a break without feeling guilty.
Better go - wanna surf a bit before bedtime and my new routine - I promised myself I would go to bed early and get up at 5am for yoga for an hour. Flynn is habitually up at 6am so beating him to it is the only way I can fit it into my day. Wish me luck (and motivation LOL!!)

Bath - just checked out rayray's and it looks fantastic.
Rory - well done to DH! Hopefully he doesn't have to wait too long for the interview. I bet he is so relieved to hand in his masters, such a big job too. Did you get up at 5am? If you did, you deserve a big pat on the back! I could never get up at that time lol!
Marley started back at swimming today. It was like she never left! She so loves the water and was the one making the most splashes and absolutely drowning me and anyone else in the way. It was a big of juggle this morning, Marley in at 10am, Chelsea in the creche, then once finished with Marley, get us dressed, drop Marley in the creche, get Chelsea ready for her class at 11am! It was the first time Marley had been to the creche and she loved it. I hope thats a good sign for when she starts creche next year. I was such a proud mum today as Chelsea has gone up a class (now on a Friday morning, so I have to go 2 days a week now), she has done so well this year, doing things she thought she was not able to do. She was very proud of herself too, she got a certificate and a lollypop! Poor Marley was so tired though, she missed her morning sleep and we came home, quick lunch and she went straight off to sleep.
I have made a big lasagne for dinner and Chelsea has a playdate this afternoon so at least dinner is done!
Time for coffee and the last piece of Mars Bar Slice
Registered User
oooh Marsbar slice! Did you get the recipe here in the BB cooking thread? When I finish my sister's avvy i might work on upgrading mine... it's looking pretty drab compared to the recent ones i've done LOL and then I'll redo yours Mel... but it is so "you"
Registered User
I posted the recipe last week in rayray's thread titled "no bake cake/slices", I have no idea how to put the link in!!!
It is so easy and divine! I think I have eaten nearly 3/4 of it over the past 2 days LOL!!!
I agree Bath, I don't think it really needs changing I am loving it!!! Maybe your suggestion of making Marley more a toddler? The ones with a colourful background look much better, maybe add some background to yours?
Registered User
Girls, as I suspected I didn't make it up at 5am - Flynnie was teething last night so I lost 1 hour's sleep between 3 and 4am. But he slept til 7am so I got a bit of a lie in before heading off to work.
Will try again tomorrow
Registered User
Still no luck at getting up at 5am - sleeping was much more attractive LOL!
Bath, I can be at your place tomorrow after my appointment by about 9-9.30 - ok by you? I will bring us some goodies for morning tea
Registered User
So right Rory, sleep is better LOL!!
Where's your av gone? Just noticed it missing????
Registered User
I think I must be pg- LOL- I am so exhausted at the moment that I dont know what to do with myself. I think because I have stopped for school holidays everything has started to catch up with me.
I think Tori is finally back to herself so she is back to sleeping all night through which is making a huge difference.
You girls are a bad influence on me, you always make me want to cookI went into the recipe thread and found the one for the no bake malteser slice..... so of course I had to make it this arvo and mmmmmmmmmmmmmm it is yummy.
Anyway I had better go and get myself organised I am off for my anenatal check at the GP this arvo, had my GTT yesterday I forgot how gross it can make you feel, I needed a nap when I got home because I just felt so grotty. Anyway not long to go now and all the pg things will be over with and I have a new baby at home.
Registered User
just a quick drop in - my GF had her baby boy this morning! I got a text message at 6.40...but I didn't hear it, so they called my home phone - turns out she had requested me in the first message, and when they called at 7.30 I got up straight away, had a quick shower, got Oscar up, went round to their place to get their doona (they asked me to get it), got there and ...voila! Baby Charlie had arrived not even within the half hour! She began labour at about 5, so he was a really quick one (her second), which she is relieved about after the first labour she had. I knew she could do it! She was a bit anxious that it would go the same way again, and I dropped in yesterday to give her encouragment and some soothing oil blends. She told me she had been leaking and she wasn't sure about a show. She thought she had days, but I was keeping my plans local, just in case I was on the money with my gut feeling that the baby wasn't going to wait to be induced, should the leaking go on for any longer
Anyway, I'm sort of attempting to make this house clean but not having much luck. Got my assignment faxed just after midnight...got two more to go and one's online with a cut off of Friday, so it HAS to be done!
Better go see what this pager is yelling about...
Registered User
Ali - now you are a bad influence on me, I have to make the malteser slice now lol!!!! Will do it tomorrow. That stuff for the GT is worse second time around, you know what to expect. Make sure you get some chill out time while the school holidays are on. Good luck at the docs this arvo
Maya - congrats to your GF, what a great story! Charlie is such a cute boys name. Good luck with Fridays online assignment, not long to go, nearly finished.
Rory - I see your av is back!
Work is nearly over for the day. I started early this morning, so get to leave early and hopefully beat the traffic. Chelsea has her first day at school tomorrow for orientation, she is so excited and so am I! She goes from 9.30-10.30 and she is a bit annoyed she can't wear a uniform lol!
Registered User
Ali I made that malteaser slice a while ago - veeeerrrry tasty!
Mel I am so with you on work nearly being over for the day - bummer for me is I have to do some work from home tomorrowThis work from home thing is such a drag!
Maya that is great news on your friend's bubba!!
Registered User
Maya: yay! she did it! You knew she could
Rory: hey, take your time getting here tomorrow.... Wade's first day back at kinder this term and I might not get that train back... I only have 3 or 4 minutes after dropping him off to catch it back to my station... looking forward to seeing you though!
sorry girls... doing final touches to sis's avvy... want to get it finished this afternoon... hi to everyone!

Just got back again and Oscar is asleep in the car - he was pinging and his cheek is bright pink...methinks the molar on the other side is coming through with a vengeance, so he has two molars and the two teeth beside his front two coming up all at the same time. Apart from the cheek...who would have known?? He's been a trooper about it or he didn't feel them at all, one or the other!
Have a great meet tomorrow - I"ve got Booby Club once again (no meets over school hols) and I have missed the last few, so I miss the girls!
Ali - I know they say you can't bank your sleep, but I say just sleep anyway, the memory of having done it does wonders when you are out of your head!
I went to see my GF again and she's heading home tonight, where there will be some key players preparing a spread - the neighbours who had her DD1, her other GF and us. I told her that they can go to bed if they think it's too much company and we'll clean up and get the house ready for Charlie's first full day at home. He is very cute! Bath - I haven't cuddled, I was offered but I declined. Other people will probably cuddle, but I figure that one less person to smell will make his adjustment to the world easier for him. There is plenty of time for Charlie cuddles and I think it's important for babies not to be handled for a while. Unfortunately, I couldn't implement this with Oscar because DP didn't want to offend his brother, SIL and niece and nephew...next time will be different
Better go deal with nappies before we head out!
Registered User
Mel, Liz is allowed to wear her uniform to school because it gets them ready to want to wear it. We encourage it but if they don't wear it ,that is ok as well....I'm also going to implement the idea that the Preppies get a hat on behalf of the school, so they get the idea that they have to wear a hat in term 1 and 4...better go Kate goes to Camp today and Dh still isn't back with her lunch!
Registered User
Well DH has gone back to work today and DS is at school so the house seems very quite with only the girls home. we had a great last week of school holidays we went to see surfs up once you got over the docamentry style it was a really good movie DS loved it but DD got board after the first few mins but she always does unless she is watching strawberry shortcake! kai ended up going to sleep but as there were hardly anyone there she got to wonder around near our feet.
Maya how nice for your GF to have friends and neighbours like you, It would be great to know that you can come home and just relax and take in the new bundle of love.
Kai has just started to fake cry it really funny and hard not to laugh at she must of picked up this new skill watching DD anyway she will screw up her face and make this really silly sound ( what she must think sounds like a cry ) and she will open her eyes just a crack too see if anyone if watching like I said quite funny to watch. She has also started to have tantrums if she wants something or is just tied and doesnt know what she want she will stop what she is doing and put her head on the ground and just scream, I am now just trying to leave her there and have told the other two to do the same.
well its her nap time so I better start tapping her

Rory - i worked from home for a little while when I first started maternity leave and I was hopeless! I much prefer actually going into work now. Its too nice outside to be doing too much work!
Maya - I agree with Tali, what lovely friends you are and she is very lucky to have you all. Hope her homecoming is nice and relaxing for her.
Jess - I haven't even organised her school uniform yet!!! I am a bit slow! The uniform shop will be open each day of the orientation so I have time. She has no problem wearing a hat which is good, creche drum it into them which is good, she even wears a hat when she plays outside at home.
Tali - chelsea wanted to see Surfs Up too, did you like it? We get the tantrums too and its hard not to laugh. Marley flaps her arms like wings, screams or grunts and sometimes falls down or lays on the floor!!! Girls and their hissy fits LOL!!!
Well Chelsea's first orientation day went really well. She was very excited until we got into the library, then started to freak out a bit and wouldn't go and sit in the circle. She sat with me for a while, then they had to go up and get their name tag, so she relaxed a bit. They had story telling, games and then they could choose a book to borrow. When we left she went to the principal and said thank you which I thought was lovely. On the way home, she told me how much she enjoyed it and can't wait for the sports day next week.
