Tracey - we should be able to make it! Soooo glad to hear you did well today! I got my letter from the tafe yesterday and i have made it through step one and they have invited me to the information and course registration day and also i will be sitting the exam that day too! We dont have to do it untill we have been kind of accepted already, they take the top 50 people. I am really nervous about it though, not the test, doesnt bother me i was alright at maths etc and did it in yr12 even (although the example test online showed me that i am a touch rusty!) I am really worried (gonna sound stupid) that i will actually get in to it! I cant in my head work out how the hell i will be able to actually do the course as in time wise with work and everything considering i dont have anyone to help out with the girls! Hopefully it will all work out!
How long till you find out if you are in?
Kristie - i cant believe how fast your settlement has gone! Also your pregnancy! My golly gosh!
OK, got to go, charlotte is not 100% tonight and neither is al- whodo you think is the biggest baby?????
-
ok random post..the people at work were talking about desserts when one person pipes up with 'You've got a liitle kid RAch, have you heard of a dessert called "poos and wees" ?
OMG the name was enough to gross me out!!!
Apparently its all the rage, you make yellow jelly with polly waffles in it - like a groos out version of frog in a pond!!
-
OMG too Rach! How gross! And no I have never heard of that dessert either! Who comes up with these things?? And I'm glad Milo's teeth are ok too... Both my boys still face plant on a regular basis!
Tracey, my email is: alexandragoodwin@hotmail.com And we should be able to make it to Liam's christening. But we won't be able to stay for a long time cause we have to leave for QLD very early the next morning... And it's up to you to decide about the formula luv...Maybe just leave it for a few more weeks and if you're still real buggered then give it a try??
Nikki, sounds like you had a fab day hun!! How great to learn all that in a day!!
Cindy, how was your walk? I hope you enjoyed exploring your new neighbourhood..
Kristie, you must be loving these all night sleeps hey!! They must know that their new lil brother will be waking you up soon, so their letting you stock it up hey!!!hehehe
Well, I've been without a computer for a few days cause ours got upgraded and fixed... and it is now back and faster than ever..YAYAY!
Nothing much going on in our household lately..I've been very busy working and I've only just got time now (at 11.57pm!!) to post here...Its madness!
Anyway..better get some sleep and some energy for playgroup in the morn.. Night all!!
-
Hi!
Nikki - Glad you enjoyed your day and that you're excited by learning all that stuff - thats great!
Cindy - Yeah at getting past step 1 and having to sit your test! I'm sure you'll manage to find a way to do it all if you get in..might just have to reprioritise a few things maybe...
LOL - hope you're "babies" are ok...
Rachael - that dessert sounds gross! LOL! I can imagine kids loving it though...
Alex - I'm sooo jealous your off for a nice holiday! Not long to go now!
I hope they know I need my energy as well! LOL - although I don't think so...Louis is being strange at the moment...doesn't want to play away from me - he has to sit right near me or play on my bed while I'm on the computer - he's not like usually so I think the packing and talk of the move must be unsettling him a bit...poor munchkin...
Hope you get some time to chillout soon!
Off to do some shopping today and I really need to start organising stuff for our move - post redirection and start calling up some utilities to get them disconnected/reconnected...I'm so not organised with any ofthis stuff...I'm sure we'll move into our new house and I'll have forgotten something important! hehe. I'm not used to all this!
Chat later!
-
Cindy are you applying for cert IV also or something different? How exciting that you may also be going to school at the same time. If we are doing same course we can help eachother and rack Nikkis brains LOL. I hope Charlotte and Al are feelng better, I think Charlotte would be a better patient that AL, men can be sooks when sick :)
Kristie good luck with getting all the house move organised, I think I would forget about 5 things for sure.
Nikki How exciting learning to do plaster casting...that would be very handy. HOW cute for Corey to pretend he has broken his arm.
Alex glad you are back online, i suffer withdrawels after a few days.
I worked extra day today so I am working 3 days straight I think I will be tired. Tomorrow night we have jamies cousins 30th bday, will be early night for me as I have to work in the morning. Cant wait for sunday, I AM SLEEPING IN.
Gotta get some control underwear for my dress for jamies party. I am not looking forward to shopping for them. how embarassing.
night all

Hi!
How nice was the sun today? Windy but so warm..the boys had so much fun playing outside...
I had a headache for most of the morning but picked up by the arvo. Michael's up at his parents for the weekend helping out with stuff so it's just me on my lonesome! hehe. Going to visit my friend Bean tomorrow - they've moved into their new house which is super exciting! They're out at Gembrook on like 15 acres of bush - it's such a beautiful spot and the kids love going there and seeing their chickens...
Tracey - Managed to get all the house stuff sorted out today - we even have our new phone number already! LOL! My mums trying to freak me out with how much of a big deal the move will be but I'm just not worried about it...it will all get done and I'm not that impatient that I need everything unpacked the weekend we move in...I'm happy to plod along...as long as the important stuff is organised...2 weeks to go today!
Gosh - sounds like you definitely need a sleep in on Sun morning! Don't work too hard! LOL - I bought some of those control undie things to go under a dress a while ago but you could still see the seam of them so never ended up wearing them - ...ended up going bare bummed! LOL! hehehehe.
Hope you're all well - it's super quiet in here - enjoy your weekends! Chat later!
-
Tracey - nah dont be embarrassed go to DJs or Myer and let the nice old ladies sort you out :)
Well I am sitting around procrastinating. I dont know how we will ever get packed, let alone move the stuff. Neil was supposed to organise a skip for the weekend but didnt.
Im thinking of getting it for GF weekend and having a bbq come working bee.
Also, id anyone thinks they might make it along to my linen party, bearing in mind its now sat night 20th Sept at 7:30pm can u let me know.
cheers!
-
Hi!
What a beautiful day! Had a gorgeous day out at Beans - the kids loved it and got filthy! Having a sleep now - they're wrecked! As am I after going to bed way to late last night...
Rachael - I'm sure you'll get everything done! Sorry I won't be able to make it to your linen party...we're starting to move that day so it will be busy busy I'm sure!
OK...Dylans woken up...chat later!
-

racheal i will be coming to your linen party i cant wait.
kristie good on you for not letting the move stress you,i always get stressed when we move but that is only because i put too much pressure to have it all done the weekend i move in..LOL
we had a great day today the weather was just devine,we spent the whole day in the front garden today doing all the retaining walls around the garden edges the same as the back.i also cleaned out the whole garage as james wants to move back out there now that it is getting warmer again.we took the little ones for there 2nd swimming lessons today,last week they both screamed through the whole thing it was awful so today we left half an hour earlier and swam with them first and harry absolulty loved it,he really enjoyed all the activities but c was still very aprehensive having ash(the male instructor) grant stayed by her side but she hated it when ash took her away from him to do her stuff.she will get there soon i spose.corey is better now,he ended up on prednisolone cos his asthma was shocking.both the boys are at birthday sleep overs tonight and the babies are in bed grant and i are watching the footy final.

-
lol nikki we posted at same time, jamies party is next weekend.
I am glad nickelodeon rang, means i submitted the form correctly. I hope they get to go, I am sure they will LOVE IT.
enjoy watching tele with grant
-
I am over packing. I am tired all the time, so actually doing anyting makes it ten times worse! I told Neil today that I just want to get everything out of the house and in storage, i'd rather sit on the floor and eat off disposable plastic plates if it means the packing and moving get done faster.
well ok i wont pack the couches or dinig table before the party next weekend, but otherwise its a fire sale. Everything must go! :)
I caught up with my mothers group, albeit for an hour this morning we too the kids to a playcentre. Its in an industrial area thats not too well known so it was great they were the only kids there and had the run of the place. Milo loved it.
Then my brother and his DF took Milo to a bbq at her dads place in Narre Warren so we had the afternoon to pack/move without having him underfoot, or worrying about him feeling bored or left out. He had a great time and did not want to come home when I went to pick him up.
-
Hi!
Having a lazy day...been getting headaches each morning for some reason...might need a massage!
Nikki - Sounds like you had a great day out in the garden! I'm sure the kids will get used to swimming soon...Hope Corey improves soon...
Tracey - Yeah at Jordan getting into kinder...I called up the other day at the one I put his name down in Cranbourne and they said he's 103 on the list and they're only offering places for 98! GRRRR ! So hopefully a few people cancel so he gets in! I really want him to go next year...
Rachael - LOL at eating off plastic plates! Hope you get some stuff done today...Sounds like you had a nice day yesterday - must have been nice having a kid free arvo to get stuff done...sorry to hear your so tired...early p/g's a killer!
Well, I'm waiting for MIchael to get home and I'm sure he's going to get home late on purpose so he doesn't have to deal with the kids...I'll be so cross though cos he knows I'm over it this weekend...
Oh well - probably should have a shower...LOL!
Chat later!
-
OMG I AM FINALLY BACK ONLINE!!!!
My puter packed it in last week and my brother has had it since thursday - we had over 150 viruses on it!
All good now and he has given us the latest in everything!
SOrry, got to go, i will endeavour to do personals tomorrow and actually catch up on what everyone is doing!
-
Hi!
Cindy - was wondering where you'd got too! Omg no wonder your computer packed it in - LOL!
Just noticed your ticker - your worse than me! Hehe...
-
Hey..
Rach, I should def be at your linen party luv, I think I'll need a break cause we have a party at a playcentre that afternoon... It starts at 7.30 pm yeah?? And I'll bring some nibblies for you if u like?
Sorry for the short post guys but Nick is home today and I have to jump on him to do stuff around the house...or it will never get done!!!
I'll pop bak on later tonite to chat properly...
-
Hi!
It's soooo quiet in here! All good around here...been waking up every morning with a headache that disappears after a couple of panadol but I'm a bit over it! Starting to feel a bit sad as this is our last week of activities before our move...Dylan had his last gymbaroo today and Louis his last play with Ryan...I think it's just a bit of the unknown with our move that has us both a bit anxious...have we made the right choice? Are we going to like it? I'm sure we will but it's just a bit of a funny time for us all...I'm actually starting to feel a bit emotional now about leaving our little house that we've had so many memories and has been our first real home...Silly I know...
Yesterday I met up with a couple of the girls from the April forum and we took the kids to a play centre which was great! The boys had a ball! I don't know why I didn't do it more often over winter...
Cindy - Have you been to any of the play centres in Narre yet???
Alex - LOL at trying to get Nick to do work...Michael still hasn't painted the back of the bathroom yet where he patched up plaster and has so much stuff to do before we move...I'm not going to nag him though cos it has to get done and he'll no doubt get himself in a state before we move...
We just found out our settlement time for this place is 11.30am on the 26th but haven't found out the time on the new place yet! Gosh...we could be homeless for a while! LOL! Michael joked that we've got the garage remote for the new place so we'll be able to sit in the backyard at least - LOL!
OK - hope your all well! Chat later!
-
Alex, yep 7:30 on Saturday. You can bring something if you like? I hope we still have the dining table and Neil doesnt pack it! lol
I will PM u (you too Nikki) with my address.
Kristie, what is it with 11:30 settlements? lol that the time our last 2 have been!
Cindy I am glad your computer is back in the lad of the living.
Milo fell asleep half way through his story tonight! He was sooo tired, they had a break up party at playgroup and after that MIL took him to the werribee zoo.
-
Hi!
Rachael - LOL at Milo falling asleep! A sure sign of a big day! I hope you have an early night to! How are you feeling? Any morning sickness?
Louis has his last kinder in the morning...we're catching the train from Mooroolbark to Lilydale as an excursion! LOL! I'm sure he'll love it!
Hope everyone else is well! Chat later!
-
i should be having an early night, but i'll probably chat all night on msn.
no actually being sick, but lots of feeling naseous and blergh! I have orderd some of those preggie lollypops off the internet, they better come soon!
-
Rach I hope your linen party goes well I am sorry I cant make it, its Jamies bday and we have his party. How cute of Milo falling asleep listening to his story.
Alex I hope you got Nick to do all the stuff you needed
Well i am working overtime thursday so tomorrow is my only day with the boys and Jamie. We have jamies party saturday and our cousins boys 1st bday on sunday, its going to be a busy weekend. I also have my parents coming back from europe on friday night so we are going to the airport to meet them. i cant wait for dad and mum to see the boys they have been gone for 6 weeks and i am sure they have missed the boys like crazy.
i am off to bed after all saints as i am knackered
XX
-
Rach - can you email me your address??? i might be able to make it sat night - depends on when al gets home....
Kristie- we havent been to any of the playcentres out here yet - got a park over the fence so we tend to just do that! Bit of a home body these days..... will be good when you are out this way though! although you will be stuck at home with 3 kids driving you crazy soon!!!
I think i am getting sick - i feel relly blurgh.... I hope not though, its bad enough with cha having an ear infection and tori a throat one at the moment!
OK, i am off to bed - early night for me
-
Hi all!
Benjamin has his daycare photo's today. He's going to be the real boy in the pictures with the scratches he's required on either side of his face in the last week. Friday was a scratch from the group leaders nails as she tried to catch him from hitting his head. The 2nd one on the opposite side they are unsure of, yet it is very similar to the last one....hmm...I got no paperwork for it either. They are getting slack on writing up incidence. Tisk Tisk Tisk!
Rach - We've got the linen parties doing the rounds up here atm too. Good luck with yours
Melissa
-
Hi!
Louis had his kinder trip today which went well...the poor little monkey is getting sick again...seems like just a cold this time - runny nose and watery eyes...I can't believe after having the flu though he's getting another cold...I just hope it doesn't do the rounds with all of us!
Rachael - Sometimes fruit tingle lollies help as well...
Tracey - I hope you enjoy your day today! Wow - you are going to have a busy weekend! Will be great with your parents getting home...
Cindy - I forgot about your park! Beats paying for a play centre! Hehe. Lucky our house will be kid friendly with lots of space so plenty of room for having people over! I so haven't thought practically at all about how I'm going to manage with 3 little ones just yet! I'm sure it will be fine...
Melissa - Aww poor Benjamin with his scratches! I bet they'll turn out gorgeous though! How are you feeling?
Can you believe our little babies are going to be 3 next month??? CRAZY!!! Where has the time gone??
Both boys are in bed again (a sure sign Louis is sick...) should probably have a lie down myself...Chat later!
-
OMG my computer is driving me crazy!!!
Nothing more to say!
Oh, except hi melissa - how are you?
Also NIkki - where are you???
-
Hi..
Yeah, I second the fruit tingles Kristie!! They were a godsend in the early months preg with Toby.. And also Gingernut biscuits worked wonders when preg with both boys..think its the ginger in them that helps with the nausea..
Well I hope everyone had a lovely lovely day today in the yummy sunshine and I hope it is just as nice tommorrow morn cause we have our playgroup end of term party...
I'd better get myself to bed soon cause I wanna wake up early and get some washing and other stuff done b4 the boys wake up....and believe me, for me to get up b4 about 8-8.30 is a miracle!!! I do love my boys sleeping in for their mumma!!!
Good night all you lovely ladies!
-
hi all.
kristie i hope louis gets better quickly,could it be hay fever?
melissa how are you,i hope u have healed up well.
corey had his footy presentation last sunday,we were soooooo bludy proud of him,he came 5th in the votes for best and fairest which is awsome but then they gave out 4 huge tropohys for outstanding effort and corey got chosen for most consistant player of the year.we have noticed that he has really settled down the last 3 months,he even said he feels he has grown up.
tracey it was so great to catch up with u and jordan yesterday,they really are great little friends arnt they.
as we get closer to the puffing billy day i will write up a list of things we will need and we can all choose what is best for each of us to bring.
cindy how are you,what course did you eventuially apply for?
hope the girls get better soon.
-
Hi!
Cindy - Are you around on Sat morning? If you are I might do a quick run in to drop off that book to you and pick up the tupperware lids...we've got the final inspection of the house at 9.30am and then off home so MIchael can start moving into the garage! Woohoo!
Alex - Yeah on the boys sleeping in for you! My boys were like that although the mornings are getting earlier now as it's getting lighter...Louis was up at 6am this morning - wtf? Although he's been having day sleeps cos he's sick so that won't be helping his night sleep...
Hope you have a nice time at playgroup this morning!
Nikki - No - he definitely has a cold...Looks like Dylans getting it too now...I can't believe it after just having the flu...we did go to the playcentre on Monday though so I suppose thats going to be an easy place to catch it!
How great that Corey did so well with his footy! Woohoo!
Sounds great about puffing billy - I'm sure it's going to be a fantastic day!
Was going to do food shopping this morning but don't want to drag the kids out...I have woken up with yet another headache - it's been going on for a week now and it's really bugging me...I should go to the dr I suppose! LOL! I've got my midwife appt this arvo so I'll mention it to them...Mums coming around to watch the kids for me since Louis is sick. She's also going to clean the oven for me and pack up some of the kitchen! I haven't once cleaned my oven in this house - mums done it every time! LOL - probably cos I've spent half my time in this house p/g!
Just made a big bowl of yummy fruit salad which the kids are devouring...better not give them to much or I'll be changing nappies/have Louis on the toilet all day! Hehe
Hope you're all well!
-
Go Corey!!!
Yeah Kristie i am home sat morning! NO prob if you want to leave the boys with me while you go look at the house if you like - would be like having 2 sets of twins! Sounds like fun actually!!! Bring it on baby!
I am seeing Nicky tomorrow - the poor thing is ready to pop - she is 36weeks now i believe!
-
hi ladies
well another overtime day out the way and I am glad i dont have to work saturday so only 1 more day to go. I havent had much luck expressing at work the last couple days, no let down however i do at home so have managed to keep the 3 bottles in the fridge. I have to make more conscious effort to drink water i think.
Nikki It was great to catch up and i just love how well the 3 kids play together. They are just too cute. I am considering changing my name though, all those MUMs can drive you bananas LOL. I told Jamie you spilt the beans on your little consipracy the other night, he laughed and said you got to see his warped sense of humour.
Krisie I have NO doubts you will handle the 3 boys you are a super mum with awesome patience, I only wish I had half of your patience sometimes. LOL at not cleaning your oven, if you can get away with it go for it I say
Alex I hope you got your washing done. I wish my boys would sleep in, 1 day they might, prob when I want them to get up and go to school LOL
Cindy I hope you guys are feeling better, its terrible when the household is sick
Melissa You should post some pics of Benjamin on here so we can see him now. Are you a facebook member???
take care have a nice night
XX
-
Hi!
Cindy - Thanks for the offer, but we're excited for them to see the house as well...we can show them their bedroom and the backyard etc - get them a bit familiar with it before the big move! I can't believe it's only a week away!
Wow - Nikki's getting so close! Say hello for me!
Tracey - Bugger at all that work...I imagine it would be hard to express at work. I've never really been any good at it so have avoided it really...although the boys haven't taken bottles either...
LOL - you haven't heard me go off my tree than?? Gosh, I don't feel like I have much patience sometimes!
Had my midwife appt this arvo...all is good with bubs and me...I don't have another for 4 weeks! They're not that bothered in seeing me much but I suppose thats a good thing!
I'm off for an early night...I'm expecting the boys to wake up a bit with their runny noses...
Chat later!
-
tracey we got the nickolodean tickets....YAY!!!!!!!
they are just going to love it and they are so excited they both asked me to say thankyou to you.
nikki
-
Had my dating scan on Wednesday, and official EDD is now 10th May - mothers day! At least I might get a present this time! lol
Not much else to report, lots of packing and moving things happening.
We're going to see Dora on Saturday then Milo is going to a birthday party on Sunday - Neil and my brother will move us wheile we're gone!
-
Hi!
Nikki - That sounds like fun for the boys!
Rachael - Wow at being due on Mothers Day!! LOL at getting a present! Sounds like a big weekend planned - you guys always sound so busy! I can't believe how many social events Milo goes to! LOL!
Had a rotten nights sleep...Dylan is def sick now as well and woke up 150 times...he ended up in bed with us this morning but as soon as Louis came in at 6am he was awake too...I tried to get in an extra snooze for me but not much luck today...
I'm babysitting Lachlan this morning as well so hopefully they all play nicely - LOL!
1 week to go until we move! Woohoo! Chat later!
-
racheal,do u mind if i bring my sister to the linen party? i will also bring some nibbles.
r u actually moving this weekend? is the house finished?
-
Hi All!
Tracey - Yeah, I'm on Facebook.
Well, I've been going good. My surgery cut was sealed up until the beginning of the week. Got an infection under the skin and it decided to break free on Monday, so I have a yucky oozing hole half way down my scar line. Now I'm back on antibiotics. Ho hum....
Melissa
-
Oh no Melissa...what a bugger...hope it gets better soon!
-
Kristie - I hope it gets better soon too...
-
Melissa - you poor thing! Its never ending for you guys! It has to get better soon surely!
WHats everyone up to this weekend? We are being boring - apart from me having 2 parties sunday which i dont want to do but hey- they might be a hit - i am tryingto move one of them to monday night..... i still feel crappy - have just ordered pizza online - how lazy are we all getting! You dont have to even talk to anyone to get food delivered to your door and you just put it on your card!
Kristie - did you want me to have the boys tomorrow for you?
-
Nah, your right Cindy! We're going to take them so they can see the house as well! We thought the people would be moved out but apparently they're still in the process so they'll have rubbish everywhere...never mind!
I'll drop in quickly on the way home - probably around 10-10.30am to drop off your book...I will have to just run in quickly as we've got heaps of organising to do once we get home and I'm out for Mums b'day on Sunday so tomorrows the only real chance...
Sorry to hear your still feeling unwell...LOL on the online pizza - gosh, I feel like doing that but I'll go an chuck some pasta on and put a jar of sauce with it - LOL! Not very exciting but it will feed us...
See you then!
