Is anyone else freezing today????? I have been at work all day and I am still cold, just had a coffee and a strawberry Freddo and that still hasn't done the trick.

Poor Tali - you must feel like you have moved to Antarctica!!!!

Hi girls I only get cold when I sit down in front of the 'pute! LOL if I'm up and doing a bit of housework I warm up enough. Mmmm coffee...Freddo... you've inspired me Mel!

Nickers; I've said it before but I'll say it again: What a complete gem you are knowing all the exact dates! i just wouldn't have a clue! Thanks darl. Yeah, it'd be ace to see Emishka and Jaspen and all the other rare posters come back for their June babys birthday celebrations

Hi all,

Thanks for all the birthday wishes, we had a BBQ on Sunday night with my brother and SIL which was great, I made a teddy bear cake which is in my gallery, it turned out alright I think, had a few disasters along the way but we got there in the end.

Also thanks for all the congrats on my little man, I must say that I'm sad because I know I'll never have the mother/daughter thing, but I think I was more upset when I found out Cody was a boy then this time around, I actually had a feeling for a few weeks that it was a boy but I kept them to myself. But as Bath would say I should trust my intuition.

I'm actually quite looking forward to meeting this little monkey and know that all my boys are blessing and are here to teach me about myself, I think.

hugs xoxo

Oh, Amanda, there are mummies who will never know the Mother/Son thing, too! Blame your DH All kids are blessings, daughters or sons, aren't they? I know that sounds twee, and at least you have some time to adjust to that reality before bub comes along.
I was reading that Melbourne is going back to genuinely cold winters for another few years! I don't mind, I like a good excuse to rug up in delicious winter clothes. It means I might have to rug up my horse a bit better, though...
Nic - ditto what Bath said, I never got my arse into gear about recording the birthdays and I hate to say it, but I rely on your diligence!
Gotta study again...

Its so good to know that even Melbourne people are feeling the cold and its not just me !!!! mind you i feel like I cant complain as it is what I wanted, Just forgot how cold it really gets plus knowing that I havent seen the worst of it yet not helping....

But so far I have been good as I try not to turn on the heat until 4.30 then we are turning it off at night and bhl turns it on when he gets up for work then I turn it off about 8.30 when I have to do the school run, plus we have been very good so far as I and walking to school and kindy every day so at least by the time summer comes around my legs should be smoking lol ( thats if all the extra hot food doesnt go straight to my butt..)

We are now living in Berwick which so far isnt too bad I will be going to a playgroup on friday and hope it nice and friendly, I was told by May's kindy teacher that I need to make local friend so I can put them on my contact list as mine are all to far away to come and get may if I couldnt. I found her quite rude really, like I dont know that already!!!

I was a really brave girl today as i drove to fountain gate and shoped all by my self lol I know this sounds funny but I have never had to drive around with so many cars before dont like it much dont how I will go tring to drive out your way Mel and Maya, but I am sure I will get used the traffic one day... Plus I hate going to shops by myself I always feel like such a scott but I guess thats because coming from such a big family I never really had to shop alone ( well I did have Kai but she doesnt talk much ) But I had to get her a birthday gift gee its hard to get a 2 yr old girl a gift expecally when she has 2 older sibs so has so many toy already, I really wanted to get her a rocking horse but the only one I found was $140 and for us thats just too much, so I ended up getting her a toy dog that grows and learns its name and as she just loves dogs thought it would be good we will soon see on friday...

Well saturday is our 11th annavesery cant believe its been that long!!! we have decide not to get each other any thing this year but thought we might go up to Mount Dandy for lunch or down to the farm on the gippsland hwy that milks the cows at 3.30 each day and has lunch there as well looks quite nice anyway... Then we are having a BBQ on sunday for Kai's b'day with just the family..

sorry this turned out to be such a long one...

Oh, Tali, driving out to me there isn't that much traffic coming from Berwick You'll find out when you come up on the weekend for your anniversary (congrats, BTW!). There are lots of playgroups around your area, I don't think you'll have trouble making friends. It's an area with loads of families. And don't worry - I hate shopping centre shopping without my sister to come with me, too! It feels like the walls are moving in on me and I get the heebie jeebies.
Gotta go back to studying before the farewell do for one of the childcare ladies here at uni...

oh Tali, bringing back a lot of memories from when i first moved to melbourne!
i remember trying to go to the local shops the "short" way ie: backstreets, had NFI what i was doing and a 5min trip took 25mins! you'll gradually get used to things.
i hope you like your playgroup. ive gotta go to a new one soon when we offically move cause driving 45-1hr to get to my current one by 9.30am i dont see happening!

i have had a shocking day with Nixon today. DH has been away o/s for 6days now and i think its taking its toll on Nixon. he has been crying for most of the day, whilst i tried going to the shops and getting 1nice pic of the two boys together, never happened, he had a tantrum in the pouring rain and not long after waking from a 2.5hr nap i had to put him back to bed until he calms down because i just cannot deal with him atm!!
