Howdy all, how was everyone's fathers' day? Mine was good - bought DH 3 pressies (book on woodworking tools, darrell lea chocky bag and a garden plaque that sayd "this is in memory of all the lovely plants killed by my wife" - I am a shocking gardener!) and visited my mum and stepdad for lunch.

7th H - I reckon primary teaching would be so much better than secondery teaching. DH will do a dip ed once kids are grown and he is keen on teaching secondary science/maths (with science and engineering degrees he will be a shoe-in, as very few "maths" teachers in Victoria have actually done maths at a uni level) but I keep trying to convince him to do primary as well. Imagine how good a 6 foot 6 male primary teacher would be for all those little boys with no male role models. But he is not convinced - hopefully a few years home with kids will change his mind.

Ali, you have inspired me! DH is away all next week (leaving tomorrow) so I am going to be a new woman when he comes back. 26 to 32 points is massive when you are used to 20 points. Sorry you are feeling down - I sometimes feel "blah" too - think it goes with the territory!!!

KL, I know it's hard but ignore the bad vibes re: your wedding. DH and I had a terrible time from both our families when we married (nearly 13 years ago now!!) and to this day give every to-be-married couple the same advice - don't listen to what anyone says (including us!) you do it your way!!

better go, even though DH is watching terminator 3 (not my favourite of the series) I had better go spend some quality time with him

ciao bellas
