Welcome to the weekend ladies!

Had a spur of the moment PASH party last night, a hens party...except it ended up being a HENS/BUCKS party! A good time was held by all and sales reached the $800 mark so far so pretty good.

Liz had her first birhtday party today and I got a real good bargain on the present, so I know that the birthday got a good toy.

James has to work in the morning so I have to walk around town with all 6 kids delivering flyers for the kids fete!!

Hi all have been busy this week with BHL been home as we only have a about 4 week of him been home to organize the big move so not much time of couses there is plenty of time while he is away but not much I can do apart from getting a few quotes together... We were told by DHA ( they are the people you have to go to when you move around the country they orgainse housing and removal when you are in the defence) that they wouldnt move us out of cairns!!! that we are only intiled to a move in the cairns area and not to melb even though BHL had defured his finial move for 12mths and we are in this time frame..So he has had to write them a email asking if they can change their minds and see if they will move us but dont like our chances they are all for the bottem dollar dont care about the people.. And the goverment wonders why they are losing so many defence member I could tell them a few reasons!!!! So hopefully we will hear something soon otherwise we will have to move ourselves we have had one quote for $6000 so as you can see we would much perfure that in our pockect so we might be able buy a house one day so

for us everyone that the defence do as we are intiled and move us home...

We had a garage sale this weekend and it went well people were waiting out the frount at 5.30 am so they must have been keen BHL sold a lot of his tools he doesnt use anymore or things he had doubles off...

sorry no personals today but a big

to everyone and hope you enjoy your sunday....

Oh, bugger, Tali! I really do hope you can change their minds, that's a lot of money for relocating

Just got back from an overnight trip to near Wilsons Prom, to catch up with some CFA friends. Poor DP was hit by a tummy bug half way there so not only did it take forever to get there, but when we did get there he went straight to our room and I cleaned up the car door! He stayed in bed all night and was feeling half human again today. At least it wasn't next weekend that it hit him - we've got the Urban Fire Brigade State Champs next weekend. I'm really looking forward to that especially as we're ditching the car and taking the train, which Oscar will love.
THe house is a pigsty...still...and DP has hit the bed again, so I guess I have to feed dogs, bring in laundry, watch Oscar and make a mild enough dinner...yaddiyaddayadda...

Good evening girls

Maya, it's a bit like that here. DH and Niall hit the beds as soon as we returned from our trip to Nunawading (clothes from factory outlets for DH's school reunion next weekend). Niall has a slight temp so I hope what ever he has will come and go by next Friday. House is a pigsty, dinner needs to be cooked, Wade is helping himself to the endless flow of juice (enjoy the time before your toddlers can access the fridge!) Verity is doing something on her computer which makes mine extremely SLOW!

Everytime I try to do something a hundred obstacles fall in my path... so I'm just not doing anything. Tali: I hope your DH gets the nod. The bank is a bit the same: will only fund relocations to remote places/overseas. They have a shortage of people wanting to work in those places and enough people in the major cities. They are MEAN'T to fund your return to your designated location after a stint in a "remote" place but they can be very fickle about that too

It would cost a similar amount for us to relocate back up to Nth NSW... would be better if we could do 2 years abroad (funded) then designate NSW as our "return" location IYKWIM? 13 years ago the bank funded nearly every relocation... they funded our move to Warrigul (VIC) in 1995... but we had to fund our return to Melbourne because the next year they cracked down. I suspect things might change with the impending severe labor shortage. Companies are going to have to bend over backward to get a manger to rural places... I live in hope that DH sees a funded job in Northern NSW... at the moment it's only to places out the back of Burke!

"Mum I'm hungry" Wade. Better go deal.
