Nic - congratulations babe!!!!! That's brilliant news. It was obviously meant to be. When is settlement? You must be dying to get in there and start making it feel like your own. Tyron is getting clever sitting up. The new pics on Facebook are so cute. You have been blessed with 2 very cute little boys.

Ali - fantastic news that the Losec is working. It must feel great to have him go to sleep in his cot (give your arms a rest anway!). Hope you find a nice dress for the wedding. I feel alot more dressed up when I wear a dress (it's a very rare thing for me to buy a dress, pretty much like you).

Bath - glad to hear the acupuncture has helped you. I've heard lots of positive stories of how it has helped all sorts of conditions. How did the rest of your baking day go? What other yummy treats did you cook up?

Rory - good to see you pop in. Can't believe Ollie is at the teething stage already, where has the time gone?

Julie - how exciting to feel the kicks. They are such beautiful moments (except when they happen at 3am LOL!!!). Hope you parents have had a great time in Oz.

Maya - how cool you found your nail file and have a spare! Glad to hear DP managed to get Oscar to sleep. How unreal you got another poo! Way to go Oscar!!!!

Jess - glad you can atleast use Dial up, even if it does take forever. The house sounds great, you must be so happy (and warm!!!). I'm sure the older ones will love it too.

Marley had a bit of crash this afternoon. We have 6 stairs coming off our deck and she has mastered them pretty well with no falls so far. Today she was going down (she wriggles onto each step with her bum) and must have got her foot stuck and tumbled down about 3 of them and bumped her head when she got to the bottom. Poor thing was very upset and DH was here, but she didn't want a bar of him, just her Mummy. We put an icepack on her forehead, which she didn't like at all and now has a nice bruise there. Both girls were having so much fun outside until that happened. She didn't really want to go out again. Meeting some friends at a playcentre tomorrow so the kids can run wild!

Hi to everyone else and hope you are all happy and well

Gee we are all so quite ATM but with some of us on school hols its understandable we dont start until friday...

Well BHL has now found out that his new job is in Epping but I have been told by almost everyone thatr Epping is not a place to raise children, so now we are looking at maybe renting a house around Ringwood, I kinda know the area but it been such a long time sence I live that way I have know idea where the good and bad parts are. But with 2 of my sisters living in Kilsyth I am happy that I will be fairly close to them... Does and one know about the schools in this area? Once we have defently decide that, that is the area we are going to go I will have to yet again post a question for all the melbourne girls to kindly answer ( I am sure they would be getting sick of seeing my name under the renting threads lol not too much longer I hope!!!)

So we will be leaving here on the 1st of May ( as school photos are going to be on the 30th of April so just have to get them done before we go ) and hope to be there by the 8 th of May as BHL has to start on the 12th my sister has kindly said that BHL can stay with her of the week so that he doesnt have to travel 2 hrs to works each day while we are at my parents house which is great...

Now I just have to hope and prey theat we can find a place that will rent to us

just wish they would rent to you without us having to go there to have a look at the house 1st....

Sorry gotta go Kai is very smelly and Bold is on

Tali - Ringwood has so many schools in the vicinity it's not funny! Ringwood East and North are nice areas now - near Croydon North can be nice, as can the parts on the way to Warrandyte. There are heaps of renovated weatherboards that are just delicious, it's just a matter of finding one on the market

So, there are heaps of private schools - co-ed and single sex, Steiner is in Wonga Park, Billanook in Mooroolbark...there's heaps

And Ringwood is nice and handy to the train line as well as the Frankston-Mitcham toll way and the Eastern Freeway. It's a great location.
Gotta go, Oscar pulling nappy off and we're about to go for a walk!

Warrandyte is a nice area! i used to drive through it every day on my way to work (From diamond creek to Bayswater) excet one day i hit a kangaroo ont he way to work!
i have some friends that live at croydon & Ringwood but not sure what schools.
again i used to drive past a stck of them on my way to work around there.

Mel- how is Marley? hpe she's not scared to play outside now
Jess- whats your view of?
Maya- how is oscar and his selt thought TT going?! I think thats brilliant and he's not even 2 yet!
Jules- yay for those wonderful kicks! forgove mif i missed this but have u had your ultrasound? are u finding out what you are having?

i thought i'd let you old Junies know too that Julia (a.k.a RaccooOOoon) is pregnant! hoping she gets to a much further gestation this time around. (Ronan was 2 last month!)

Good morning

Nic: hey congrats on your new home!

how exciting! And thanks for the heads up on Julia, wish her all the best and tell her we'd love her to drop in and tell us all the details! would love to see how our first Junie baby is going (photos) too!

Tali - yeah Epping is not that flash! It will be nice if you could be around your sisters. Like Maya said, there are heaps of schools in the area both public and private. I will PM you a link to a great site with regard to finding schools. I have been doing alot of work with the Department of Education recently and this site should help you. I agree with Maya, Ringwood East/North are really pretty and Warrandyte (very foresty, if that's a word!!). Now the hunt for the house begins, good luck and I have fingers crossed you find something soon. What's happening on Bold? Haven't had a chance to watch it for weeks!

Nic - how scary hitting the kangaroo! Were you ok? Julia was before my time I think. But how exciting for her. Was her first a premmie? Marley is definately not scared by her fall, she is such a dare devil! I thought it might have made her more wary, but no.

Speaking of dare devil behaviour, I meet some GF's at a play centre on Tuesday and it had one of those huge climbing things that goes up on lots of levels, with stairs going everywhere. Marley was playing near the bottom of it, then one of my GF's said, look where Marley is. She was at the very top!!! She must have been so quick. She was waving at me from the top, then started to get a bit freaked out as she didn't know how to get down. I asked Chelsea to go and help her which she started to, then said no, she's a big girl she can get down herself! Great big sister - NOT! Thankfully one of my GF's daughter (who is 6) did a wonderful job of helping her down. Makes we wonder what is going to happen in a few years time. Hopefully Chelsea will be more helpful as Marley gets older because at the moment, she couldn't really care.

Took Chelsea and her friend bowling on Wednesday, which was hilarious. They had a ball and did well with their little ramp to help push the ball down.

Got the wedding tomorrow and thankfully it's going to be sunny YEAH! Well lets hope so anyway.

Better get back to work, but I have the munchies. Time to raid my snack cupboard LOL!!!

Mel thanks for the web site details will have to look it up later on...

Now I just have to sit and wait and see if and when we find a house not much we can do until we get down there though as we need to view the house first before we can apply( or should I say the real estate have to view us!!! ) Feel like I am going mad thinking about it all the time and BHL who is normally the rock who tells me that all will be ok is also starting to worry about the move but more because of money than anythink else... Has said a few time that I will have to get a job but as I have told him I have no skills so the money I would earn working in retail wouldnt cover the payments for 2 in daycare as May cant go to prep now until next yr ( she's a may baby) I can see BHL only staying there for a very short time until he finds himself a better paying mining job again...
