Maya - how is Oscar, hopefully not snotty anymore. I too have been blessed with late wakers, thankfully! I don't think I could do a 5.40am wake up every morning. How was your date and what did you see (hopefully something more romantic than Black Hawk Down!!!!!)

Nic - good luck with the move and hope you are back online soon. When we renovated, we were without a kitchen for a couple of weeks and it was awful, and that was with no kids! I love my kitchen so being without one was hard, be strong! Glad you are feeling better.

My little Gemini monster has been a real treat lately! She is such a happy chappy one minute, then cranky pants the next. Someone reminded me that she is a gemini, which I hadn't really thought of before. I am not really into the star signs but after hearing that, maybe I should start reading up more. I went out yesterday for lunch with one of my GF's and her son is a few months older than Marley. He wanted to go out the door, which Marley was holding the door handle, he tried to push it open and she pushed him on the ground. He walked off looking very upset. I went over to tell her no, that's not very nice and she just smiled at me so sweetly!!! She has still been pulling Chelsea's hair and nearly ripped the buttons off one Chelsea's tops she was pulling so hard. It is really driving me crazy. Chelsea was such a gentle little thing and such a good toddler, I'm not used to this and not sure if I am going about it the right way? Please feel free to share any of your words of wisdom.

Best get back to work! Hi to everyone.

Sorry Junies ... I've been a 'lurking! Been getting caught up with posting in so many areas of BB it's getting ridiculous... spreading myself way too thin. Also have been updating a few avatars for other members... you might have noticed Astrid and rayray's new ones which i'm proud of and they were so much fun to make but all consuming! LOL Maya: I see your's is still up. Never fear!!! I will always have a copy of it on file so if you need to have a break from Platinum for a while i can just keep it for you until you are able to upgrade again (betcha will when you are expecting number 2 So I'll be looking forward to giving your funky avvy a preggy belly at some stage in the hopefully not too distant future! Tali: it is soooo easy to get caught up one end of a bloody table... it's happened to me too (jammed in with Verity and missed out on talking to half the other BB members there... the restuarant was just not designed for people wanting to leave their seats to mingle) But like Mel said: don't be put off... get back on the horse... it happens to everyone. My boys have been unwell over the past few weeks... Niall's had a bad chest infection... Wade a temp... don't know what's going on... but it's been frustrating for me being unable to get out and about... talk about Cabin Fever!

I'm seeing my Endocrinologist (hormone specialist) tonight to see how my blood test went... do i still have an over active thyroid? I feel a bit better although my hair is falling out! Maybe that's just what it does when switching from over active to under active thyroid function... anyway... i'll have some answers soon.

hello to everyone! Julie, Nic, jaspen good to hear from you all

I thought we had started a new thread, but no, it's just been very quiet around here!
Alas, my av's gone - oh, well. DP and I sat down and did a proper 'b' word...budget...last week and it really hit home that I made the right decision not to renew my subscription! I can barely afford a yoga term, but with a bit of a refund due to overestimation of income I probably can scrape it in without too much of an argument. Luckily, we have everything we need, and as Jack Johnson says, everything we need is enough
My sister's pregnant again - I was caught on the hop last time and found out when she was 12 weeks and about to announce to everyone. I was a bit put out, so this time I wanted to know well before it was official and just came out and asked! It was a good gamble, cos she is, indeed, cooking another bun!
In related news, AF is back (in her pathetic 2 day variety way), so I've ordered my Mooncup. We'll see how much use I get out of it Any time from now to fall is fine with me, though DP would have preferred sooner than now, but I'm happy that Oscar will be at more than 2 and a half years old and counting when the next one of ours comes along. For me, that's ideal!
Oh, in feelgood news, I donated some milk to a mummy in need yesterday! Through a local network I was asked if I had any to spare...as we all know here, that is one way to describe my milk supply! So, I felt ace having helped her have a better night of it and her baby get some much needed human milk
Bath- awesome news about the thyroid, so happy for you!
Mel - we saw Indiana Jones that night, not traditionally romantic, but as we have the box set at home, it's just up our alley! And Oscar is being a great little Gemini, too - happy one moment, thwarted and raging the next...it's all I can do to pick up the pieces and cuddle him back to his senses.
Better fly again. Got to make the most of my shortened childcare session. It took forever to get Oscar dressed and out of the house today - I nearly called up to cancel! My mobile phone will hopefully be fixed later today, too...I feel out of kilter without it - not so much for phone calls, but it's my camera and organiser!

Mel-I have a Gemmi monster too.... What a great star sign this one is LOL I thought a having a bull in the house was bad enough....


Bath- how did your BT go yesterday I hope your Thyriod is behaving now...

Maya- Yeah on getting AF back you sound like mine a 3 day wonder then gone again for another 6 weeks ( when I am not on the pill that is ) so are you TTC again? I cant tell you how happy I am with my 3 yr gaps wouldnt want any other way now even though I did onl;y want 2 yr gaps it natures way it what I was ment to have I guess.... Great new on your sister PG was she tring? My sister is TTC ATM so that this was the month as she is getting quite fustrated... ( mind you she has only been tring for 4 mths )

Well not much to post here hence why I havent been on for awhile same old same old...

Went to my parents place in the holidays but the wind down there comes straight off the ocean so very COLD... But the winkies had heaps of fun as my sister and nephue( sp?) where there also and he is 13 so altra cool!!! The not so little bugger is the same height as me not happy JAN....

better go Kai is looking very sleepy so I might get lucky if I sit with her on the couch, its the only way she will still have any type of day nap now ...

[New Dawn]

I have just given May a hair cut well a fringe actully as she tried to give herself one!!! Thought of you Mel came to my mind LOL anyway after I asked her why she did she said she wanted to have her hair like Kai's so i thought why not... Its not like it wont grow back... I think it makes her look so much older.... I can almost make out what see could look like when she is a teenager ( which she is always telling us she cant wait to be one ) I think poor BHL will have to lock her up when she is LOL...

Zayden said she looked like she was 10 should have seen her face she couldn't have had a bigger grin on her face if she tried....

I have up loaded a before and after photo if you want to check it out....

[MelS]

Tali - it looks gorgeous!! At least she did a proper job, not like Chelsea's botch job (which is still growing out!). It does make her look much older. Love the new puppy too. Did you mention that in another post and I missed it?

Maya - how exciting, your going to be an aunty again. Thats fantastic news. Maybe you'll be returning the favour soon enough Its so great that you could donate some of your milk, I didn't think they did it so much anymore. DH's grandma used to feed lots of babies in her area as she had heaps of milk, the old fashioned "wet nurses" as they called them (awful name really). Good on you for doing it.

I am glad others can sympathise with my Gemini baby. We have had some great days with her lately, I wonder when the bubble will burst! Marley can now say "Chelsea, but it comes out as "Choolsea", sounds gorgeous. We are starting to hear a few more words, which is encouraging and the odd 2 words together.

Question for you all - I am getting a good amount back on my tax return this year (thank you accountant!), should I pay off my credit card OR do some more home improvements (new front entry door, security door, new blinds in loungeroom)? Who's the responsible ones amongst us?????

Busy, busy today at work, so best be off doing some!!!

Hi to everyone.

[Smoke Jaguar]

Mel - CC and do the rest in installments! It's such a weight off the shoulders to pay it off and start afresh, with new resolve not to use it as much...even though you do LOL!
Tali - haven't seen the pics yet, but sounds very funny! I'm not game to cut Oscar's hair yet, even though it's needing a bit more grooming in the mornings to keep it neat.
Better go, going to get Osc soon, just did my annual shift for the RSPCA at their Art Show in Glen Eira!
