[nicole mckay]

cindy,i need 4 tickets for wiggles,are you going to get them at 9am tomorrow cos they will sell out really fast cos it is a small venue and i think tickets will be limited.
nikki

[cindyb]

I will be getting 20 tickets - i think about 15 of them are actually gone but i still havent heard from kristie or tracey or rachael -actually rach i dont think i have mentioned it to you coz i sent a text and i dont have your number! And Nicky thinks seh will eb able to get rid of more so we will confirm numbers later and everyone can just transfer the money n my account - i have already given mum the money for them all!

Will let you know how i go with bookings nikki!

[Pandora]

Cindy - That's okay I know you dont love me anymore! ha ha ha
no I didnt know. No dramas though cos my brother's DF got tickets this morning and rang to see if I wanted to go. We are going on the friday at 12:30
I will PM u my mobile number for next time.

Milo slammed his finger in the door at creche on friday, the nail is black and GP says it will fall off soon. poor little guy, it didnt bother him until around bedtime when the throbbing must have set in. he sleot for maybe an hour and then he was up til 1am crying, in our bed watching a wiggles DVD until the panadol finally kicked in. It seems to be causing him less pain now thoughwhich is good, but its looking more yuk by the minute.

Hmm I dont think I have any other news. REALLY busy at work today and tomorrow so I figured I'd get the slow cooker out for dinners to make it easier..yeah right I had to do 30mins prep before I even turned it on
And managed to splatter something on my top, and not notice til I got to work. *sigh*

[nicole mckay]

cindy thanks for getting the wiggles tickets,please give me your account info and how much i owe you and i will put it in straight away.what date is it also?
kristie,i need to get the invoice from you so i can collect some money before the due date for the books that were bought from my book look.i need a total for my order aswell.thanks guys.
nikki

[cindyb]

Hey guys!

Rachael - i still love you!!!! Hows the tupperware going?

Nikki- the tickets were 19 each and you got 3. I will email you my bank details, i have to send them to others too! I am soo annoyed it sold out so fast, i had to call so many peopl back and tell them they couldnt come!

I got so caught up with friends and babies the other week when I told you my friend had her baby I can't believe I got my best friends bubba and my friend's daughters bubba girls names mixed up. My friend Amanda called her bubba girl Maddison Paige and my friends daughter called her bubba girl Georgia. Georgia has 2 middle names and impossible to remember what they are exactly. They aren't exotic names, simple everyday types of names. Oh boy...

Well, I went to the doctors today, and I have dilema's. Can you remember how I went for surgery, and they took my tubes when they removed my cysts? Well, my doctor and I had a chat, and he tells me that even though I spoke to a half a dozen of the doctors after my surgery at the hospital and they all told me they had to remove the tubes too, I have been told via documents my doctor got from the hospital that only 1 tube has been removed. Now, I'm very confused! I see the gyno doc on Thursday, and I'll be demanding answers. If I don't get her directly and get one of the lackys, I'll be demanding to see her. I've heard a few women at the hospital say the same thing, that they still have something, she has claimed to have removed. I still have sex with dh without protection because we thought nothing could come of it all, but now I have to stop and think...oh heck, can I actually still get preggers! Sorry if TMI.

Melissa

[nicole mckay]

melissa,this could be great news for you then......i think?
if you still have one tube then your dream of giving benjamin a playmate could be alot more possible than ivf which as you mention is very expensive,whatever the outcome i hope that the news will be what you want to hear.
good luck with your appointment

Hi Guys

well we are home and its nice to be home. Jordan is fast asleep in his bed and looks so comfy. He went straight into the backyard and played with his car when we got home and then into his room, it was like everything was new, SO CUTE. The flight home was good, it went quick enough. It was full of families though and some screaming twins, I felt so sorry for the parents.

CIndy Glad you ended up getting tickets to the wiggles. Dont feel bad you couldnt get more, they sold out SO quick.

Melissa I hope you get some answers regarding your tubes and what they actually did. Can they not do an u/s to check?

Krisite Hope you are feeling better. DOnt stress over weight gain. You always look fab after having the kids I have no doubt you will loose anything you put on.

Rachel I hope Milos finger feels better, poor little tacker.

Well will prob start clearing out wardrobe for Liams room over the next couple days, not back at work till friday I have to say that the TT is going really well we are having few accidents now and I realise we have only been at it just under 2 weeks so I am really impressed. Who knows, we might be fully there in 6 weeks when Liam arrives.

Hope you all have a nice night and would love to catch up some time if anyone is free.

[Pandora]

Hi guys.
Glad the holiday was good Tracey.
Milo's finger is looking more swollen and yucko by the day. It seems not to be bothering him though, but I'm worries that if might get infected and I wont know?
Is it worth taking him to the chemist to look at? Do people still do that - my mum always tells me to do that before going to the doctors.

Well the past 2 days he has only had one TT accident! He isnt necessarily telling us when he wants to go , but we ask hima nd he says yes, and every time he has said yes he's doone something, where as before he just wanted to fill the bowl with paper and press the button. Seep times will possibly take a lot longer as there is a family history of delayed night time dryness on DHs side, but its only 40% probabilty, so who knows.

[deancey]

Gee ladies it is very quiet in here, I guess you all very busy

I am savouring every last moment today as back to work tomorrow. Only 5 weeks to go though so thats a bonus.
Eating easter eggs at the moment, so yummy.
Mum and dad came over this morning to see Jordan as they missed him whilst we were away. My dad ended up having to play tea parties and cars with Jordan ( he loves it though). He also showed off and went to the toilet LOL
I have been checking out wiggles tickets on ebay, they are going to crazy prices though, I think Jordan will have to miss out this time.

Take care everyone

Yeah, I'm not pregnant, wooot!

Sorry had a bit of a scare this week and we are so not in a position to be having number two yet, with the house stuff still a bot up in the air.

My cousin is though (well his wife is) so thats awesome news. they are due late september/early october I think - she was 13 weeks on Tuesday.

TT for Milo is still going well which is good, and the blood blister under his black nail burst yesterday so the swelling and pressure is gone and its white again, just waiting on it to fall off now. I am worried though, there looked to be considerable damage to the nail bed (thats where most of the swelling was) so Im hoping a new one will grow but a bit unceratin at this stage.

Nikki - I hear you on the husband part. that girls night out or weekend is sounding better by the second. Have a fun time at the wedding!

Where is it? I got married at witchmount..was nice except for the MC..ugh..I dont want to remember the mc..

have a great weekend everyone!

[nicole mckay]

oh crap you got me there racheal, i miss read your post and i thought it said that you were prgnant.
we are going to galli,it is actually for a 60th birthday for one of the girls at my work,it is a suprise so she doesnt even know.cani throw in a date for dinner girls?
how about May 10th,i know it is getting close to traceys due date but we are only going out for tea!

nikki

[cindyb]

May 10th, lets do it! I have put it in my diary already...

[Pandora]

May 10th sounds good to me.

[deancey]

Nikki OMG another kid at your house, you are a certainly going to have your hands full. I am sure you will manage it though. Glad to hear James had a good bday, wow he did get spoilt.

Rachel glad the TT is going well for you. We have a few good days and then a run of bad days. I am sure its normal though ( please tell me it is.....)

Cindy I am not sure if I can make Charlottes bday as I work on saturdays and wont finish till atleast 1. I will let you know how we go.

Krisite hope you are doing well. How is the planning for Dylans bday going?

Well had a good day at work, time went quick which was nice. Only 5 weeks left of work THANK GOODNESS. I am taking nearly 4 months off this time, I only had 3 months with Jordan. I will be back at work sept 1st and then Jamie is taking 4 months paternity leave ( paid ) so the boys will have one of us home for about 8 months which is nice.
Jordan had a bad day with TT yesterday at his nannas. This morning he wet himself 3 times dispite Jamie saying he kept putting him on the toilet. I hope tonight and tomorrow go better. I guess we will get there. I am adament I dont want to get back into nappies so we will have to keep at it I am sure it will sink in.
We are starting Liams room this weekend, finally. We moved the single bed from my friends to my mums so he can take our queen bed. Then I can clear out the wardrobe ready for the inside to be done in a fortnight. I also want to put a feature wall into Liams room so will paint that either this weekend or next.
Take care everyone
