Kell and Mo - Thanks for the luck. It's a business improvement role for a mining company. I've got more theoretical experience than practical so that's my only let down - I guess it depends on how many other people apply for it. I'm keeping my fingers crossed
SP - Have PM'd you a link to the photos.
I know that I have some of you on facebook but if I don't and you want to be my friend and check out the pics PM me and I'll send you my details :D
Happy birthday, Mo! Hope it was a good one :) And good luck for TTC too, fingers crossed for you.
Kell - fingers crossed for you too for TTC. Sending vibes your way that AF is absent soon!
SP - Congratulations! Hope the shock has worn off and you're feeling all warm and fuzzy about it now.
FW - Sounds like you had a great party and hope the job works out for you.
I'm tired right now and should go to bed. DD has been waking up all over the place lately, shaking and really upset. She's already sitting up in her bed when I get to her and stacks on a real turn when I try to lie her down, so I've been bringing her back to bed with me. Problem is, DH is a super chainsaw snorer and when DD is in bed with us, I can't reach him to belt him!!!!! DD sleeps and I stay wide awake, listening, grrrrrrrr. So I take DD back to her own bed when she's asleep, but within the hour she's up again. Oh vicious circle, please go away! She's stopped napping during the day too, she's too busy chatting away, repeating everything we're saying so our swear words have been locked up. DH has been called into his work's office tomorrow, and its looking like he's going to lose his job, so bit stressed there too. Wish that good luck fairy would see me waving like a maniac, wanting her attention, but she's been ignoring me for a long long time.

Earplugs!!! We have the same issue here and this is the only way that we can sleep in the same bed. Sometimes it is still hard to get back to sleep because I can hear the snoring even through the earplugs but they work probably 8 times out of 10 :):
I hope that everything goes ok with your DH's work tomorrow, that kind of stress can really take a toll on you
Sorry to hear about your DH Correlly, hope he doesn't lose his job. :(
FW- Did you hear about the job yet?
My partner is exactly the same def a chainsaw snorer. I have to be asleep before him or i cant get to sleep. I have to cover my head some nights just to block it out. sometimes when i kick him off his back i get some peace!!!!!
Sending some good luck your way Corelly - hope his job is safe.
Money is so stressful we had a huge fight the other day about a bill.
A nice big fat gold lotto check wouldn't go astray around here :D
Ella has another cold this week poor little chicken :-(
:wall::wall::wall::wall::wall::wall::wall:
DH lost his job. Oh it sucks.
I have to be quick - people coming over for a visit, so will write more later.
GRRRRRRRR!

That's terrible news Corelly, hopefully he will be able to pick up something else soon.
Kell - Completely understand the money issues. We are doing ok considering that neither of us has worked for more than 6 months, DF is doing some part time stuff atm, we're just hanging around til one of us can get a full time job. Even though I'm still on maternity leave from my old job and can go back whenever I want, I really don't want to go back to Brisbane because we'll both have to work and DD will have to go into childcare.
JM - Haven't heard anything yet. Applications closed at 11.55pm last night so hopefully by the end of the week or early next week
So sorry to hear that Corelly :hug:
Back again!
DH has been given 2 weeks before he has to leave. Along with 6 other staff members. Not a good day for any of them. We're not sure what to do. We're trying to push for our own business to be strong enough to keep us going, but the phone is only just ringing and we're a little too scared to take the plunge. But what is out there at the moment job-wise isn't much. I've sent 45 emails today to try and promote his business, but no replies yet. Feel like a horrible telemarketer right now. He has enough work for our own business for 8 days, we just have to hope the phone keeps ringing. Our combined mortgage and car loan is enormous and we were hoping to get it all refinanced before he left this job because we know that banks don't like touching self-employed people until they can show some solid income, so we're racing the clock right now.
As far as the snoring goes, I'm worried if I use earplugs, I won't hear DD. And like you Kell, if I fall asleep first, I'm usually okay, if only DD wouldn't wake! She's cracked a molar through this week so maybe she'll settle again, fingers crossed.
Hope you're all having some luck.

Oh Corelly - I hope your luck turns soon! So often I have found that these seemingly negative situations bring change in a good way in the long run - I hope that is the case for you and your family. And may that baby girl sleep through the night soon to give you the strength to deal with it all.
FW - I hope you find the right job for you - soon.
Am finding I miss T more at the moment - probably hormonal. I feel a lot more positive about being UTD again now but I have a niggling fear that just as I embrace the idea something could go wrong - so a bit anxious at this point.
:( bummer Corerlly. Everything happens for a reason though, Maybe this push into your own business will be the best thing ever. :)
Super- i can't imagine having to go to work and leaving my babies, i take my hat off to you, it must be so hard some days.
Looks like K has weaned, she went to having a morning & night feed to only a morning feed & now no feeds. Been 3 days so far.
I'm kinda looking forward to having my body & being able to wear nice bras again lol
Thanks girls. I'm strangely calm and so is DH. There's nothing much going on seek so we're going to have to go it alone I think. We've got enough work for about 8 days, so hopefully the phone will just keep ringing and we'll get more work. We have absolutely no money behind us, so that's pretty scary. He lost a really well paying job last year when the GFC hit, he'd been there for 5 years and pretty much everyone lost their jobs. DD was about 6 weeks old when that happened. But he found another one quick enough. This time, he works for a company that works for BP. So due to the oil disaster, we're out on our ears again. The people that were sacked included two men in their 60s who were hoping to retire, just don't have enough $ yet, and another dad with a one year old and a SAHM for a wife. The guy who kept his job owns his house, has no financial obligations and has openly admitted to just working to top up his super. Nice one. KARMA KARMA where are you?!!!
Anyway, I'll keep you posted on it, but I'll stop talking about it.
Kell - hope Ella gets better soon, poor baby hasn't had a good run with colds lately has she? Hard to get rid of them, that's for sure.
FW - Any news on the job front yet? Keeping my fingers crossed for you. Any wedding plans underway?
SP - :hug: Know what you mean about feeling anxious that something will go wrong. Hope the first three months flies by, problem free.
JM - I'd like to believe that everything happens for a reason, so I figure I must have been an ax murderer in my past life for my unlucky life I've got!!!! :ROFL: Hope you guys have settled in well.
Mo - Enjoy having your body to yourself! Oh and I've been super slack with the wii fit this week. Grrrr at me.
DD actually slept through last night, fell asleep at 8.30 and slept for 12 hours!!!! She played with her cousin all day yesterday and again today, so looking for a nice sleep tonight!
Anyway, enough of an essay from me!

Mo, i must say i'm a bit jealous, S is Boob obsessed!
:lol: Corelly, people were saying to me last year that i didn't run over a chinaman, i hit a whole bus load! ;) I definitely know what it feels like when it seems everything bad is happening to you, but your luck will change, i promise. ;)
Mo - Well done! I'm jealous too! Hope this means AF comes back etc....
Corelly - thanks, I hope it flies too. Glad to hear you feel calm. A good sign.
AFM - spotting! BF 2 x a day at 41 may be leading to mc. So dilemma - if I quit (If I blinking can!!) and lose bub anyway I will feel cheated, If I continue and lose bub I will feel bad. Help! Wish the world wasnt one big waiting game!!
SP i really hope my cycles go back to normal now, 1 plus about not b/fing anymore i can take my meds & not have to worry about K getting the side effects. So hoping i can get it under control before i need to goto hospital.
Corelly thinking of you & hope things work out for the best. No Wii fit for me either i'm so lazy atm.
Jane K was a boob addict, i'm kinda shocked she dropped her feeds suddenly. Maybe she knew i was getting pretty sick.
SP I have no advice but i can offer you lots of :hug:
SP - No advice from me either, but big :hug: and hope the spotting just stops.
JM - :ROFL: Chinamen always get picked on, don't they?!
Mo - Thanks. I'm crossing everything that things will work out too!
