Hi!

I'm first!

And I have nothing very exciting to say at all....

It's very quiet in here though!

Chat later!

[cindyb]

OHH im the first in here!

Thanks again for yesterday kristie and for having the tupperware party too! I realised today when i was doing my paperwork for TW that i dont have your sisters details - could you email or message me her address etc for my paperwork please?

NOt much happening here today - didnt get to bed till 2am coz tori was coughing so much she ended up chucking everywhere which meant she got all upset etc and then by the time we got her sorted out charlotte woke for a feed!
Weaning is going alright at the mo. i have cut out one bf so far and will cut out anohter tomorrow probably - i am rather sore today so i am really hoping i dont end up with mastitis! On that note, i might go jump in the shower while the girls are sleeping and see if i can get them feeling any better

[Pandora]

oh Cindy I hope you don't get mastitis. I am sure you will be fine.

Milo had a really good weekend, lots of footy kicking and playing at the park We went to Rinwood Lake park for my firneds daughters birthday, it was alittle cold but the kids all seemed to have fun. Neil took Milo shopping for skateboards yesterday, which apparently he loved! they idn't buy any thankfully, and neil thinks he wants to get one next christmas (08) for Milo. I still think 3 is too young, I don't care if its a kids board or not!

I went and had a look at a mazda 6 to replace our commodore. Its a V4 instead of a v6 so should save us a bit on fuel, and of course importantnly its much prettier in my opinion!

Hi to everyone else! Hope the m/s is either non existent or bearable Tracey!

[cindyb]

Rachael - Al sells new nissans for a living but they have a used car department too, di you want me to see if he might have a 6 on the yard? He would be able to do you a good deal if there was one! Thats if you dont specifically want a new one that is! Just say the word. I would need to know details though like auto or manual etc...

[nicole mckay]

HAD A LOVELY WEEKEND.did lots of gardening aroung the pool area and generally had a good day.i am soooo bloody tired i could just drop on the floor right now.

[Pandora]

Thanks Cindy. My brothers best mate works at Werribee mazda, so we'd probably go through him first, but if they have nothing newish 2nd hand I'd definitely keep Al in mind.

I am going to a sales meeting tonight at the d'ship closest to me, to see what I think. TBH I have been thinking about it and getting to the meetings would be a lot easier close to me, even though I miss out on the convenience oft he warehouse, you are SO lucky! I'll see how I like it though, if there are any bad vibes I will swap to millennium!

[cindyb]

NO probs on all fronts there Rachael! Tina did say that if you were to join and for me to get any 'recongnition' for knowing you/ introducing you, also coz you have already spoken with tina about it all, that if you want to go through the one near you she is still meant to 'introduce' you to that distributorship. coz you made first contact with TW at my AP & have spoken with her and she has records of it and would have logged it on the system bla bla bla its just so they dont double you up in the process i'm assuming! Aparently i will get some sort of gift for introducing you too! (not that that really matters to me AT all!) Its a bugger there isnt a warehouse near you!
I am going to the meeting tonight too, its the release of next months specials etc tonight so should be a good one!

NIkki- are you still doing your rounds this week?

[Pandora]

OK, I will make sure that I let them know
I hope you get something good!

[cindyb]

i have no idea! i think if you join up the way tina is saying then you actually join our team even though you are through another distributor. That wasy tin will still be your manager as such which is good for you coz she isnt a pushy one and will let you do your own thing rather than putting any pressure on you to sell and do a million parties etc!

[nicole mckay]

yep still doing rounds this week ,got out nice and early again today but i am sooooo tired i am actually going to bed shortly.
nikki

[deancey]

Not much to report from here. MS seems to have gone for now just really sore boobs. I am wearing sports bra for more support. Ended up telling everyone at work today, couldnt help myself LOL I so cant keep secrets.
Rang the docs to get blood test results and she had only commented on the 1st set which were good. I rang twice and each time they told me to ring back. I was so annoyed. I think I will get my referal and then give her the arse. I think I will do all my care thru the midwifes this time instead of share care. I dont like this new GP.
Jordan has had a new haircut, I cant remember if I told you. Its so short. He looks like a spunk. He is still coughing a bit but the nose is much better, no more snots.
Playgroup tomorrow, last one for the term.

Nikki glad to see your rounds are going well. Are you free to catch up over the holidays?
Cindy good on you for doing well with the party. I am hoping to get some outside orders for our party. I am not sure that we will have a lot of people.
Rachel good luck with the car shopping.
Krisite how are your parties going?

Well off to watch tele I am knackered again tonight.
XX

[nicole mckay]

nikki

[deancey]

Nikki I am happy to come to your place. I am free tues and thursday as usual.
Just got my blood test results and they are great. HCG levels increasing well, they were 550 at 4.5 weeks so I am pleased, the went up from 200 2 days prior.
Getting ready to watch all saints tonight and then off to bed early, work tomorrow.

[nicole mckay]

[Krisvee]

Hi!

We had a quiet day today...Louis woke up last night with a temperature and was not happy at all...panadol seems to have fixed him up but he's just not really well...was very cranky and teary this afternoon. Dylans well...we actually had a great night last night! Woke up about once for a dummy and then feed at 4am and then up at 7am - I wish it was like that every night. He's still very unsettled in the evenings until around 9.30pm though...
I had another party last night which went well - Was a make-up party which I loved!!! I did a make-up course a few years ago so felt quite confident which was good.

Cindy - Poor Tori coughing so much (and poor you up so late!) Hope your boobs are ok and the weaning is going well. I've been falling asleep feeding in the middle of the night so I think my supply has boosted up again cos he just uses me as a dummy for about 30min when every other time he's only on for about 5min if that...
When's your next party??

Rachael - Glad Milo had a good day at the park - I was wondering how it all went - Alexis was saying she was going to have it there no matter what the weather!! LOL at the skateboard! Can you imagine the scratches, scrapes and tears?? Not for me either just yet...
Yeah on looking at Mazda 6's - I think they look great!!! Hope your tupperware meeting went well!

Nikki - Yeah on the garden!! I got a new front garden this weekend - Michael put in a whole lot of plants - so exciting!! They'll all take a while to establish but it will look great I think! Hope you're getting some good sleep - I can only imagine how exhausted you are with all that you're doing right now!
I'm happy to get together in the holidays...
Ooh how exciting Kerrie's having a little boy!! I asked Louis the other day whether he wants another little brother or a little sister and he said sister - hehehe. I'm sure the next one will be a boy though!
I'll give you a call tomorrow about the party Fri night! I assume pm will be better for you - I'll try and call around 7.30pm

Tracey - LOL on telling everyone -you're as bad as me!!! hehehe. You'll have to put up a new ticker picture of Jordan and his new haircut!!
Yeah it's going well...I'm looking like hitting my target this month which means I go up into the next earning bracket. I think it's a bit harder getting the sales opposed to tupperware but I really love the products so it's definitely the one for me! Although I was very excited to get a $120 off someone last night!!
Glad you're feeling well! How exciting that your having another little bubba!! I'm so excited for you!! Yeah on your hcg results!!

Chat later!

[cindyb]

Tracey - great to hear the test results were all good! I ned to talk to you about your tupperware party and what you want to do at it. There are a few options like cooking demo or i dont know , there is a heap of things we can do rather than having me just stand there and natter on about plastics! I will give you a call on thursday!

Kristie - you are doing so well with your parties! You are very professional at it! Yay on hitting your target. Looks like i will hit mine too and be able to get some bonus gifts! My next party is on Thursday night in bloody mill park of all places! I still havent worked out what we are going to do at that one either! Very slack of me really! It will be a fun one though coz all the girls from school are going to be there so will be a mini reunion of sorts! It does make me nervous though that i will know everyone!

Nikki & Rachael - i might drop your tupperware off to kristies on thursday of friday (if you dont mind kristie) and she can leave it wiht you firday night nikki? SOrry i cant make it that night, al has some sort of work function at nissan head office in the city which sucks.
Nikki- i wore the top you got me for my birthday today and EVERYONE commented on it - people always do.

Went out or lunch today for my sisters birthday which was lovely - we are going to look at having our reception at the restaurant we went to too coz the food was amazing!

I am going to go to bed my loves, i have got myself all packed up for my day at work tomorrow- the house looks like a bomb has gone off (tornado tori!) but i dont care today, i am way to tired tonight. I even fell asleep on the couch this arvo and woke to tori tipping a full big bag of chips on me! Little terror then let the dog in to eat them.

My boobs have settled down now, i am still really sad about having to wean but she is so much better with her sleeping during the days now that it has to be the right thing to do. I have cut out 2 feeds so far and on friday i will cut out another, she is stretching to 4 hourly between feeds now which means i am getting more done around the house for a change (tonight the exception however)

[Pandora]

Cindy, thats fine with me as long as Kristie and Nikki are OK with it.
Kristie, I'd have thought the body shop sales would be easier actually, becuase there is a lot of stuff at lower prices.

Well, I think Milo has got conjunctivitis, I'm going to ring Alexis in the morning, cos I don't know if that means he could have given it to the other kids, I dont know about incubations periods and things...
