Babies Born October - November 2005 #21

[Pandora]

I finished my level 2 first aid course today! yay. It was today and yesterday, and work paid which was a bonus.
I reckon my work has an unsually hight percentage of qualified first aiders, there would be at least 40% of the employees if not more.

Cindy - they poured the slab this morning and we are meeting with our site manager (who we've nicknamed XXX the dodgy site manager based on a friends experience) on Tuesday morning to go over the plans, timelines etc.
Also dads friend does site inspections on large projects, and has offered to come along to all of our stage inspections. He said if anything is outside the guidelines he should be able to spot it, and we shouldnt make our stage payments until the problems have been fixed (This is wher the 'dodgy site manager ' comes in. Someone I know had the same guy as us and still had unresolved problems that had been identifed months earlier, when they got the keys!)

So thats a huge relief that there will be someone who knows what to look for!

A valuer is coming over on 1st July to look at the house. I want it on the market and to be sold, and us renting ASAP as is will be a lot easier on the finances, but am worried about being able to get a short term rental, so might have to look at a 6 month settlement or something like that - I guess I will talk to the RE guy about it when he comes.

Milo has been watching a tv show called 'in the night garden' and is a bit obsessed. MIL said he is mesmorised by it (normally he just lets it go on in the background except the wiggles) so I got him some of the books and he loves them.

Kristie, I think I need some letter/alphabet books where the kids can trace letters, do you have anything like that in the range (Im thinking DK probably). Milo knows most of his letter and can pick out the right one if we ask him, and tells us words that start with that sound, so I figure I should be encouraging him.

Dora - Im getting tix to that tomorrow morning, SIL wants to take her nephew so we will go together cos the kids are the same age and get along really well, well as much as kids do!

okay, sore neck..its still not 100%. off to have my scrabulous move then bed.

does anyone know about what happened to the 2 toddlers on the news and the mother being a bb member,what happened who was she?

[Pandora]

no? I havent heard anything about it? What was it?

Hi!

Well, we only had 2 people through our OFI today but 1 of them came back a couple of hours later for a second look so I assume thats a good sign...I so hope they put an offer in!

Tracey - Glad you had a good day with the boys! Ooh I hope your brothers wedding went well! How fun! I haven't been to a wedding in ages! Yeah at shopping as well!

Rachael - Thats great your work paid for first aid training! I really should do something like that...I have no clue...
Yeah at your slab being poured - how exciting! Thats so nice you've got someone to go over it with you - an expert eye is always as good thing in that situation! I hope it all goes smoothly for you though!
With regard to renting - I wouldn't tell them you want a short term rental...there's such a demand for them at the moment I would be surprised if you'd find something...It's easy to get out of rental contracts - you usually just have to pay a week or 2 extra to give them time to find someone else...check with your real estate agent of course but we did it when we were renting in Bayswater and we finished it early...
LOL - I'm so not a fan of in the night garden! I think it's crap but my boys like it as well...I always turn it over (does that make me a bad mum? LOL)
Yep - we do have some great books - they can use like a whiteboard marker and then wipe it off and do it again! Louis loves it and does some really good letters now! Did you have a catalogue still? Do you want me to send one so you can have a look?
Yeah at going to Dora...I'll just have to see how the finances go at the moment...

Nikki - Yes, I stayed up last night reading the thread on it...yep - it used to be a mum on BB but that was when she was a nice mum if that makes sense...It's soooo sad and heartbreaking....the details are awful. Kelly has removed all her posts and links to baby photos etc now...too many people were doing searches apparently...
I know they've been charged with counts of torture and murder I think???? Something like that...There's a thread in the news/current affairs section...
It is just so sad and awful...the poor babies...how could anyone do that to their kids...Apparently they weighed only 3.5/4kg when they were found...urgghh...the suffering they must have gone through is to hard to think about...
I do find it odd though that no-one realised something was wrong...The dad - living in the same house - said he hadn't seen them for 6 months - WTF?????
Anyway...I'm going to stop now as I'll just rant and rave about it....

Having a quiet night tonight....Chat later!

[nicole mckay]

yes i found the thread her name was cheeki28 did any of you chat with her,i cant recall ever posting with her but she was active when we were all prg with our last babies,she was also prg with her twins.
i am having a very hard time emotionally after reading about it all.nikki

[Krisvee]

No Nikki, I never chatted with her I don't think...

I just find it all so hard to comprehend...there seems to be so many unanswered questions as to how it could happen...
Those poor babies...

[deancey]

I too cant beleive anyone could do that to their kids especially someone from this site. I guess something drastic must have happened in their lifes to end up doing this to their kids. I cant comprehend how anyone could cause their kids any suffering.

On a lighter note, my brothers wedding went well yesterday. The boys were so well behaved. Jordan didnt have a day sleep and did really well. Liam just slept thru the entire day unless he was being fed.
Liam has been doing so well with his feeds, he is now going 4-5 hrs, he even went 6 hrs overnight last night I was rapted.
Jordan is doing so well with TT also. He spent the day in undies yesterday and didnt have any accidents. I am so pleased with his progress.

hope you all have a nice night ladies.
