Oh Nikki....big big hugs...I'm not sure what to say...what a tough time you've been going through by the sounds...don't beat yourself up about smoking - you'll get there - you can't deal with everything at once!!!
I think we really need to get together so you can have a good venting session!!! There are some things that can't be really talked about properly through a computer thats for sure...
Obviously it sounds like your at a big crossroads right now with some big decisions and directions to make and that is never an easy time...
Love you lots and if there's anything I can do in any way please let me know...I really think we all need to come over and give you a big hug though!!!
I'm happy with whatever you want to do for the kids birthdays - trains will go down a treat with my boys so it's all good! LOL!
Visitied my uncle last night which was really hard...I held it together pretty good until having to say goodbye to him at the end...it's all just soo unfair...
I didn't picke up the kids to like 7.30pm though and by the time we grabbed some dinner on the way home and got them to bed it was after 9pm! I fell asleep straight away on the couch as well! I felt so drained...
Louis was feral at kinder though from having such a late night...they're both asleep now though which is very nice!
Otherwise, just chilling out for the arvo I think...Chat later!
we do swimming mondays and jamie is home so friday would be better for me if thats ok.
We went to the local kinders today to see about enrolling for 3 yr old kinder, looks as though I left it too late to decide I wanted to send him. I am going to a few more tomorrow after playgroup to see if they have vacancies but I am not holding my breath. I wish I had of got motivated earlier.
Krisite SOrry to hear about your uncle and I am glad you were able to be as strong as you were. Glad the boys are asleep for you though so you can rest after a late and hard night.
Nikki HUGS DARLING I am sorry things are so rough for you at the moment. A catch up is well in order with lots of coke and chocolate I am thinking. Please come over or I will stop in if you need some ears to listen to anything.
I have just registered to deliver catalogues/newspapers in my area. the extra cash would be nice and also the exercise is much needed. It will give me an excuse to get out of the house with the pram or if bad weather I can leave them with my parents and do it myself. I hope they have something avail which is close by.
OK well I will wait to see what you guys want to do next week.

Tracey - Bugger about kinder...I just put Louis' name down at our new local kinder yesterday! She said they were nearly full but should have a place left - I hope so! Good luck finding a kinder!
Good for you delivering the newspapers/catalogues! Can I ask if it's any good pay? I always heard from people it wasn't really worth it but if you think of it in terms of getting fresh air and exercise then I guess the money's a bonus!!
Krisite they are going to call me if they have something in my area, i only left my details. I wont do it if the money isnt good. I am hoping about $30-$40 for an hour or 2 work would be good. I am going to use the extra money to pay some things off.
Friday works for me, is that cool with everyone else and WHERE did you want to go? I am happy to travel
Friday the 25th is when settlement is meant to happen but that just basically means picking up the keys any time after friday so i should be free! WIll be moving the following week though.
We might be going away the sat night as i am doing a party in Fish Creek (not far from wilson prom) so we thought we would make it a family get away at the same time!
On that note - Al quit his job today - he is starting at Subaru (again) mid august! I cant believe his timing really - like we dont have enough to think about and now we buy a house and he is atarting up a new job which means not much money coming in for a few months! Its lucky we are getting good tax refunds this year and have savings or we would be stuffed! Boys boys boys
I have no ideas of where to catch up, i am hopeless with that although kristie i have found somewhere for us to take our munchkins in berwick - great park! Went there today.
maybe we can meet at a play centre somewhere kind of central?
LOL at Al and his new job! I'm sure you guys will cope ok and will probably be a lot better off in the long run!! Still a lot of changes coming your way thats for sure!!
Sounds like a great idea heading away for the weekend if you've got to go all the way down there anyway!! Will be nice to do something all together before the big move!!
Yeah at a great park in Berwick...there looks like a really good one in narre sth as well...and I'm dying to try out the playcentres in fountain gate...Have you been to any yet?? I think it's lollipops that looks really good - well, the website does anyway! hehe.
With regards to meet up next week though...my house is prob too small to accommodate everyone but I think it would be nice to meet up at someones house maybe if we all want to get in a good gasbag...sometimes it's harder when we're out and about to watch the kids and have a good chat iywkim? Anyway...just a thought...
Must do food shopping today, we've run out of nearly everything...gosh these boys can eat a lot! LOL!
My place isnt much bigger than your Kristie but I am more than happy to have everyone over if they want to travel that far - we could go down to the playground at the end of our street!
It is great for the little ones- nothing high and only a 30 second walk from our place - we basically live there!
well i can offer up my place again but you all just travelled out here, its up to you guys I am easy.
Well todays playgroup was good. Jordan had a good play and then my dad came for a visit and wore him out more, he went for a sleep about 3. Liam has just gone down for a sleep also so a few moments of ME time again Yeah.
Cindy WOW at Al leaving his job. I remember when Jamie came home and told me he had quit without discussion. I was nervous but it all worked out. I am sure you will do fine.
Someone has to decide where we are meeting I am terrible at making decisions so will leave it to someone else.
i will be away,i hope you all get to have a great catch up.thankyou for your kind words.harry had his immunisation yesterday and did well,actually i gave it to him,LOL that is only the second child immunisation i have done.he was rewarded with a chup a chub.i took a personal day off work today.i actually had a lovely day.i had my hair cut and coloured and then went shopping all by myself.I really needed it and feel alot better today,i really do hope this week away will help me and grant rekindle our lost love cos it is at crisis point,not his fault.4 kids and no family to ever offer help or time out for us has taken its toll on our relaitionship.i beleive that you need to refual the fire to keep it alive and unfortunantly our fire died long ago.it has proven to be an impossible task to even find any kindling to try and even get a spark happening.maybe the cold snow will help me to WANT to light a fire.
nikki
Guys, I'm happy to travel wherever.. And I will offer to meet at my house too..But if u guys don't wanna travel, that's cool.
Nikki, I really hope this time away gives u and Grant some time together and being away from everyday life helps spark some fire for u.. And so glad to hear u had a great day today. Have a great time in the snow..
Tracey, isn't it so lovely when they end up sleeping together for a bit... I so love that time of the day!
Well I am freezing so I am off to bed..Nick is watching the Tour de France(he loves it!) so prob won't get to sleep for a while yet!!! Might have to bribe him with sex to turn the tv off!!!hehehe
aw Nikki
Ive been trying to think of the right thing to say for the last couple of days, but I dont know what it is. I kinda have some idea of what you mean though, unfortuntely for me.
I'm gald you are taking some time out for you (today) and your family on your trip away. I hope things work out the way you want them to.
Actually, I will most likely be home on Friday.
I'm getting a painter in Thursday and Friday next week and am planning to be home one of those days, with DH being here the other, so hopefully its friday.
I cant travel very far though, at least not in the a.m., it will depend what time the painter is done (its a friends DH), and what time the RE come parading through the house.
I've spent the last 90 minutes scraping pain from the roof. She sms'd me and said "the more you strip, the cheaper it gets!" LOL
I'm putting up some photos of the house progress int he gallery so I will link to them as they go up.
All well here with the kids...my uncle is expected to pass away over the weekend...had to be taken to hospital last night after having a funny turn thing...so so sad...I worry how it will affect my dad as he's his last close relative...he has another brother and half brother but one lives in qld and has cancer also and the other is up in corryong and is not all that healthy either after spending his life as an alcoholic...
Anyway...
Nikki - Wow at giving Harry his immunisations! Glad he coped well! Good for you having a day for yourself!!! I really hope your time away goes well and you can get some things sorted out...big hugs!
Do you think we should put off our catch up until the following week when Nikki's available??? It would be really good if we could all try and catch up...just a thought - otherwise I'm more than happy to head over the other side so Rachael can come!
Rachael - yeah at getting painters! I hope everythings ok with you and your dh as well...it's such a hard time these baby years...it's so easy to get caught up in life and not have time to focus on each other...
Gosh...your so good doing all this work on your house...I so not a handyperson...I'm absolutely useless with my hands...
Well, I don't know - I'm not good at decisions either...someone just tell me where to be and what time! LOL!
