Babies Born June 2006 #50

[Bathsheba]

Good evening Junies it's the end of the witching hour here but i'll give it a go at posting a few messages!

Tali: well done on that mammoth last post! It would be great to catch up then in about 3 weeks... The trip into Melbourne Central really is pretty smooth sailing. Maybe a few of us could manage it although it was probably easier when our June babies were actually BABIES... these days Niall just won't sit still and I spend more time chasing him around the shops than anything! Oh well... you never know miracles might happen! LOL

Happy Birthday Nickers for last week! Enjoy those doors!!!

Heating bills: we just received our electricity bill: $393. Eeek! And I thought I was doing so well being frugal (minimal use of tumble drier etc)... turns out we used exactly the same amount of kilowatts as this time last year (to 0.04 of a kW). We have gas ducted heating though... so I'm dreading that bill... Mel: we can't do the weekly thing... for us it works out better to put everything through VISA and then pay off large amounts of that when we can. DH often gets paid bonuses which makes his pay irregular. Twice a year we manage to completely clear our credit card... and one of those times is coming up (tax refund) so looking forward to that! I wish we could be the kind of family with a budget but it doesn't seem to work... DH trades shares too and every so often we'll get a dividend cheque or sell at a huge gain... it's all so unpredictable... but I guess it works LOL we've been managing to get by this way (without a credit default) for the past 15 years!!!

Rory: Miss you!
Maya: It's hard to get back into grooves... keep at it... you'll find the right rhythm.
Amanda: Miss you too chicky, hope all's well.
Jaspen: Enjoy that Babymoon!... don't rush back into life too fast now you hear!

Had another acupuncture session this morning... I'm really starting to notice how centred it makes me feel I have 3 sessions in a row (weekly) then I have a months break then 3 session again... i've completed about 4 cycles now. The acupuncturist gives me a discount because i come in early on a Saturday morning (an unpopular time)... he only charges $42 a session instead of $75! They last about an hour and I receive a massage after he removes the needles). And every 12th session is free. It's a really good way to spend some "me time"... and I think it may have helped my thyroid condition as well! I had blood taken too today (to make sure my thyroid levels are still stable) fingers crossed they are!

Ok better help DH settle the boys in bed... I often still BF Niall to sleep... but I need to have a shower before i do that (makes it more comfy) so off to the shower for me! Nighty nite!
