Kristie Hope you have a great time trick or treating, sounds like fun. Its nice to splurge a little on yourself so dont worry about spending too much money.
I am not sure I will be able to make a weekend away in Dec. I wont have any annual leave left and no money to go away with. I have to pay school fees on the 17th Dec ($700ish) and then with xmas we are going to be cutting it fine.
If its not too much trouble, could we make it a new years thing??? Otherwise I guess I will need to make the next one.
So excited for Jordans bday on saturday. All his kinder friends are coming to his party at mcdonalds, he is so excited about it. Jamie and I went and bought some last minute stuff for him. More ben 10 DVDs and then clothes.
I completed 2 tests today which is good only 1 more to go and the year is over YEAH. I so cant wait for this holiday this year has been pretty full on.
-
Sounds like you all had a fab time I only wish we could have been there.
My cousins little boys b'day was good, though the kids went for a supposedly supervised walk int he rose garden. They got kicked out, as they were picking the roses OMG DS can back with two and was all excited he'd picked them for me! I had to hide!
Hope your exams went well Tracey
Kristie good luck with trick or treating. We arent going but will be stocking up in case anyone calls in here. I hope we get some last year I had loads of things ready and no on e called so I had to eat them all.

Hi!
What a beautiful day!!!
Tracey - Bugger you won't be able to make it away - cindy said it was only going to be $15 per person for the night??? I'm happy if everyone wants to do it in th enew year though - but we still have to have a night out for chrissy dinner though!!!
Yeah for Jordan's b'day!! I hope he has a great day - sounds like lots of fun!!
Congrats on having nearly all of your tests out the way - what a relief it will be!!
Rach - Glad to hear you had a good weekend as well - we missed you!! LOL about halloween - I think I ate quite a few last year as well! LOL!!!!!
We've had a great week - we headed out for dinner last night and got 2 free movie tickets! We were going to watch the movie last night but none started at the right time so we'll go another time! Mum babysat for me which was ok except she never leaves - LOL! Oh and she go there super late so I'd already fed the kids...I haven't much to do with her lately and have found that it's in my best interest to keep it that way...keeps my sanity a little more when I don't talk to her!
AND
Michael found out he's getting a 10k pay rise next year - WOOOHOOOO! Will be so fantastic with another mouth to feed!!! A bit of a relief as well as things get pretty tight around here at times!!!
Am super excited for Ethans b'day next week - a friend is bringing over one of those plastic play gym things with a slide for only a bit $$ and he's getting a ride on bike for inside and only a couple of other bits and pieces!! He really doesn't need much - LOL!! We're going to Knox tomorrow so Louis and Dylan can choose a little $10 toy for him each as well!
Anyway...better go and hang some washing out!!!! Chat later!!
-
Rach how has your first week back at work gone? It must be hard! Has neil taken time off work?

Hi!
Wow Rach!! How's Neil gone with his first week at home full time??? That's a huge transition! I hope your going ok with it all...xoxo
Had a great time today for Ethan's 1st birthday!!
Cindy - How's charlotte going at home on her own? An early night maybe??? How cute Tori's having her first sleepover!!! Was great to see you guys today - looks like the girls had lots of fun! Thanks heaps for the gorgeous pressie as well...
Have a huge day tomorrow heading up to Euroa for my Nannas 94th b'day...should be nice to catch up with all the relo's though...
-
Howdy folks.
Well we have had a full on week, DS2 starting solids, and DS1 bday
Hope all the travellers had/are having fun!!

Hi ladies
well school is officially finished (classes anyway). All assignments complete and handed in and exams complete YEAH. I have 2 weeks of placement starting on monday which should be good, we are going to another nursing home but its all experience.
Holiday was awesome, we had a ball and the kids loved being away together. If I had to hear where is jack or where is channy one more time whilst we were away I was going to go insane LOL Jordan got home sick with about 4 days to go but he was ok. Liam loved it, he loved all the thai people.
so looking forward to xmas and the new year, cant wait to see what its going to bring.
Krisite I am so excited for you all to be having a new little boy. Jayden is an awesome name. I think he will be perfect addition to your gorgeous family.
Rach wow at Neil being a full time stay at home dad, hope he is going ok. Its hard when dad is home full time. I know when Jamie was home I got a little jealous at times.
Alex and Nikki hope you are settling back into normal life again
Take care
-
Hi!
Rachael - Wow, sounds like you had a huge week last week! Hope you survived through it all ok!!
Tracey - So glad to hear you guys had a great holiday!! Yeah at finishing school for the year - hope your placement is going well!
A big hi to everyone else!!
We're well here - just a bit tired but that's nothing unusual - LOL! My tummy's popped out heaps and I feel so big and fat - LOL! I can't believe I'm 5m p/g!!
Boys are well - Ethan's walking and Louis and Dylan are their normal cheeky selves...Love my boys...they drive me crazy sometimes though - LOL! Ethan is the most cheeky at the moment - gets into so much mischief just for a reaction but he gives the biggest smiles it's hard to get cross sometimes...gosh these boys are going to walk all over me as they get older!! LOL!
Hey - are we going to catch up for dinner out before christmas??? We should probably get on to that!!
Chat later!
-
What a busy week i have had!
I dont even know where to start with it at the moment, might have to come back another time to get it all out, I have to be up early to take char to the hospital for surgery tomorrow morning so i hope that once that is over i can relax into my holidays - i dont actually have any more tupperware for the year now so i am on holidays!! Oh except for the denta surgery where i have to start interview people again!
-
Hi!
Cindy - How did Charlotte go? Hope surgery went well and she's ok!! Poor little munchkin....
Hopefully you will be able to chill out a bit more now that some of the pressure's off with school and tupperware!!
Is the undercoverwear stuff in yet??? Are you going to Kristy's party next week??
We're up at Bonnie Doon which is great but I haven't had a break really...Michael went shooting this morning and then has headed off with his dad and brother for a drive so I'm a bit annoyed I haven't been ablet to have a break (for soooo long!) kids will be feral tomorrow from lack of sleep I'm sure and then he'll probably want to go out tomorrow night as well...might have to put my foot down...I'm finding myself having a very low tolerance level at the moment and I hate taking my tiredness out on the kids...I just really feel like I need a break mentally...
Anyway, sorry for the vent!!
Hope everyones well and gearing up for chrissy - I'm soooo excited!!
Chat later!

Hope everyone is well.
DS1 broke or fractured his collar bone yesterday - hopefully one of you nurses can tell me the difference - we didnt know til he woke up screaming and in tears in the middle of the night. Neil took him down to the hospital and they said his collar bone felt "funny" and to bring him in for xrays this morning, which is when we found out he'd injured it.
He has been pretty good though, getting used to only using one arm, hes lucky its his right not his left (hes left handed) so he can do a lot of things.
The only think they didnt say was whether he wears the sling - its a collar and cuff thing - to bed? I thought he must so he has it on.
Other than that, we had a good time away in South Australia for the last few days.
DS2 is doing well he is commando crawling and standing up pretty well when held. He is a huge eater too much easier to feed than I remember DS1 being. So far. lol.
-
Hi!
Poor Milo!! I hope he gets better quickly!! Glad to hear Oscar's doing so well also!!! He must be getting so big now!!
We're all good here...
-
Thanks I hope so too.
Yes DS2 is huge, hes almost as big as my cousins 14 month old :o
Im trying to talk DH in to moving to Mt Gambier, would be a much better home for the $ (smaller house but much more backyard), and a much much more cruisy lifestyle. So far he is not sold though. Still working on it. Somethings going to have to give though becuase I wont go on like this it's doing my head in.
-
Wow Rach - That's a big move - how far away is that? What would you guys do for work?? I can understand wanting to downsize a bit though - not really worth all the extra stress sometimes! Good luck with getting Neil on side!!
-
Its about a 5 hour drive, just over the border. My cousin and his family live there.
Quite a few SA government agencies have offices there, theres a job going at the moment that I'd love to apply for but even if we decided to move, we couldnt do it until at least july due to the way our motrgage is structured (fixed rate & breakfees). With the way rates are going though, by then it may not cost us anything to break our fixed rate.
Its a shame cos the job sounds really good.
-
ohhh racheal,that is terrible,poor little milo.
wow,oscar is growing so quickly now,he will be 1 before you know it.
all is well here,harry has had 3 boughts of tonsilitis in as many months,so he is seeing specialist next month to talk about a tonsilectomy.not sure what they will say but he has 7 recorded episodes on his medical file so we will wait and see.
all else is well.harry will be 3 on monday.
work is good and everyone is is alive and kicking.
starting to look at prices for a trip to bali this yr.im very excited that chan starts 4 yo kinder this year,she didnt do 3 yo so it is a big deal to her.
school hols have been great so far,we have had lots of little adventures.
hope to see some of you soon
-
Hi Nikki!
So good to hear from you! Poor Harry - sounds like the best thing would be to get rid of his tonsils?? Good luck with it all!
OMG - I can't believe he will be 3 on Monday - that's CRAZY!! Where on earth has all that time gone?? I remember going to your house after you had him and being so excited to have cuddles with him!
How exciting going to Bali!
Yeah at Channy going to 4yo kinder! I'm sure she'll have a ball! Louis is very excited to start kinder again as well - he has the same assistant from last year so is super excited!
I'm just trying to get myself organised at the moment - both for kinder and for when bubs arrives. Seem to be going along ok - have been getting the flylady emails and although I don't follow everything they say it has helped me get into a bit of a better routine (although I'm still a long way from being properly organised!)
I'm feeling good but just a bit cranky and short with the kids...I've pretty much been like this in each p/g at this stage (as Michael so kindly reminded me - LOL!) It's not nice though...sometimes I just get a bit over all the fighting the boys do and the not listening!! I get sick of my own voice sometimes...
Ok...Chat later!
