hi shell im amber. i have a beautiful daughter savanna who was born september the 9th
welcome to our group!!
on the subject of big brother... hubby when to the auditions last year and got through to the third round.
im not a huge fan but i can say that i like to keep up with whats going on day by day.
and yep i get sucked into watching eviction nights all the time.
friday night games are awesome when bored and got nothin to do i guess.
dunno if these new peoples look all that interesting though...guess we will find out
Hi Shelley, I'm another Anna in here! The other 'Anna' is Annie whom, like myself has a baby named Alexander! My little guy is nicknamed Xander though so everyone knows who is who in here. My bubba was an impatient one and came early on the 15th August... he's the oldest in the group.
Shellbell - Bugger about the auction. It does sound as though you need to re-evaluate where you want to live. I can't believe how much over the advertised price the houses go for.
Kellxx - Glad you had a wonderful birthday!
I'm not a BB fan really, but watch it 'cos there isn't much else on and it's pretty much the only time of the day that I sit in front of the box.
Lea? If we promise to say you're our favourite moderator, is there any chance you could make a link to the new thread when you're closing the old thread? For us lazies? That's okay if you don't!
I also have to say, that even though I don't watch BB cos I think it's rubbish, I've accidentally hooked myself on some other rubbish - Search for a new doll!
OMG freak out, I woke this morning with that song in my head Nelle.
Will bbl for personals, hopefully. I feel like I am only just managing to stay awake. I had trouble getting to sleep and then Eithan was up all last night and also decides wake time is 6am. So I am feeling pretty knackered today.
Welcome to the newbies, Eithan is the 2nd oldest, but only because I had a c/s.
Wow....20 mins lated I finally finished reading all the posts from the weekend. I cannot remember anything I read
Nelle: Hope you are feeling better. I am being councelled for PND, so I know how you feel re being a bad mum. I, in the past have full on yelled at Bailey and then fallen on the floor in a heap and just bawled my eyes out hysterically. DP has had to come and take Bailey away from me sometimes. It is hard being a Mum but at the same time the most rewarding thing on earth.
BB back on again. I am over it too but keep finding myself watching it. I cracked up when I heard there is no prize money. Suckers!!!!!! They really are in it for the experieince now hey?
News! Bailey has tooth number 5 which explains the two shirt changes per day from dribble and the grizzle grizzle all day long and the not sleeping too good during the day. He is almost crawling now. Must get the video camera ready.
I forgot Pricess Mary was pregnant. I think her little boy is soooooo gorgeous.
HAPPY ANNIVERSARY TO RICK & I - 13 YEARS TOGETHER & STILL NOT MARRIED! We don't care though coz we love each other, our baby boy and our fur-kid
HAPPY ANNIVERSARY TO VIXSTAR & ANNA**!!! Hope you get some lovin tonight!! lol

Welcome shelley! I'm Jodi, mummy to beautiful Nina she was another impatient one coming 2 weeks early, born 20 August, which just so happens to be our wedding anniversary!
HAPPY ANNIVERSARY ANNA & SCOTT, & VIXSTAR & RICK
We had a tragic night here last night, Nina was soooo unsettled. It's gotta be the teeth. Waking up at 11, 1 & 4. She's only just woken up now. We were suppose to be going to swimming lessons but I didn't want to wake her cause she would have been tired. She's happy now though, so it had better be a good day.
Morning ladies.
Bad night here. Jett went down at 7pm, woke at 8:15pm, 1am and 5:30am. We just got up a half hour ago but Im still knackered and I know he is too so hopefully he will go down for a nap before lunch and I can sleep too.
AnnaT- The funny thing is at our place that would actually be considered an alright night! Hope you get some rest though today, it is tiring.
Jodi- I hope Nina stays in a good mood. Good idea to skip the swimming, it might have got her overtired and grumpy.
Happy Anniversary to those celebrating. Vixstar, a friend of mine her parents were together for over 20 years and then just decided to get married then!
I loved BB, I've got a 3 mobile so I joined up to watch live feeds from the house.
Ohhhhhhh crappola I forgot about the MSN chat We've made plans to go out to dinner and a club with friends that night because my sister is coming down on Tuesday til Sunday - got to take advantage of a willing and free babysitter Oh well someone can fill me in on what goes on afterwards.
Shell - holy moly I admire you ladies who manage to live on nights like that every night! Its really thrown me for a six since he's stopped sleeping through, I feel so tired all the time.
Jett is watching 'The Backyardigans', anyone who doesnt have Foxtel and hasnt seen it - it is THE cutest kids show ever! I just love it, probably more than Jett. He stands at the TV and watches it, bopping along to the songs they sing (quite funky ones too). I highly recommend buying the DVD's of it if you can find them!
Think its time for my shower once Backyardigans is finished so Jett can hop in the bottom of it and get clean too. I feel pretty nauseous, its awful.
Oh Im a bad mother I forgot - HAPPY 7 MONTHS JETT!!!

Sounds like it was the night for no sleep.... arrrgghhhhhhh I'm so tired! Xander woke HOURLY all bloody night, and wouldn't resettled for about half that time. So basically, just as I'd drift off to sleep I'd hear this 'waahhhhhhh' across the monitor.
Thanks for the anniversary wishes girls. Aint gonna be no lovin going on around here tonight - gonna use the time for some zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
