Maz- try shutting the door, it whats i had to do to get annika to go to sleep
she gets up, kicks it and screams blue murder until she spews everywere......im gonna kill her!!!!
Maz- Oh dear, she is persistant. BTW i love your ticker pic.
Hm i have just found a technique that works for Teleah!!! with cleaning up. I tell her i have put the clock on and she has til it soges ping to clean, whatever isnt picked up goes in the bin. I have never seen her move so fast. Plus she is telling annika to help her cause she doesnt want her stuff in the bin.
maz - I love your ticker pic too!
chrissy - I wish I could help you out somehow. But I do enter all the car competions, in the hope that one day I'll win a car big enough for you all, and I'll send it down to you! Maybe, just maybe I'll win one day!
nessa - that sounds so cute about Teleah racing around cleaning up before the clock goes ping.
I just watched the replay of the Hewitt match (tennis that is) from last night. Man, what a good game. I love tennis. I'm so annoyed at myself that I didn't go down there this year.
Aww you shoulda come Jodi, would've been great to see you! (Helen, can you believe I'm STILL spewing I missed you? :p) I only watch the tennis for Marat Safin. :redface: And now he's out, so I'm just not getting into it this year.
Hey big hugs girls, it's so hard not to let money issues get to you, when money is what we use to do so many things!! We've been blessed with an interest free loan from the inlaws for the car, which we chip away at. :)
Can you get creative Chrissy, if the kids are bored? A walk/scavenger hunt? Sand sculpture comp?
My little vent would be that Rans and I get pocket money we allocate to ourselves, his goes on video game stuff, and I buy tupperware or stuff for the house/family! Saying that though...that is kinda what I'm interested in...who would have predicted I'd get so much joy from organising food in plastic containers?? :p I'm already angling to put some baby bonus towards tupperware...I figure it saves me money in the long run...I'm so forgetful, I found a tupperware container with grapes in it when we got back from hols, I didn't even remember putting it in the fridge! And the grapes were still good!
Anyway, that was a mini vent that turned into a rave about tupperware...perhaps I have a problem. :D
Mercy Maz, at the tantrums that turn into spewing!! You've got a right drama queen there! :p
This has been a chattery morning, howdy to those I missed! Hope everyone's day is good or getting better! xo
Jodi - I was feeding Mateauz and watching that match...dame it was good! I normally fall asleep on the couch feeding him that time (3am) but I was glued to the t.v
Ness - pmsl at your technique...I love it! will keep that one in the memory bank I think
Nelle - oh god that would peeve me too. Jed gets $70 a fortnight for his dame ciggies so I feel I can spend the same amount on what I like. It usually ends up being material or cloth nappies but heheheh. Jed was lovely and bought me a ring yesterday. Its got 10 diamonds in it, one for every baby we have made with love together.
As for the pic.....Sammi (raven) came up on friday and I let her go snap happy. She took the most gorgeous pic of Mateauz but im waiting a few days until I change my ticker again ;)
weould someone like to come and nurse a little boy who wants me to hold him flat out today...i reall need to pee!
I splurged yesterday on a whole heap of Tupperware. Haven't told Heath yet, I don't think he'd understand why I would spend $300 on plastic containers!
ETA: congrats on the ring maz!! That is so sweet of Jed. I'd love to see a pic. Pass him over to me maz, I'll have a little cuddle with him
Aww what a lovely idea for the ring Maz. Lol about the cloth nappies, I was spending so much of my pocket money on cloth nappies that Rans introduced some pocket money for River too, so I wait very impatiently for that to build up and that goes on clothes and nappies. :) Not much there atm, cos of his Baby BeeHinds layby that is finally paid off now!! I'm not even sure how much longer the medium nappies will fit him - the downside of laybys I guess.
Yay for the Tupperware Jodi! What'd you get?? Lol bout telling Heath! Rans used to whinge, but I've noticed subtle changes, like comments like 'just put it in tupperware, it won't go off then'. :p
funny you should all be talking bout tupperware I was telling Jase last night what I plan on doing with the babysitting money (BTW she starts tomorrow vent to come :mad:) 1/4 for avon, 1/4 for tupperware and 1/2 to got owards my new lounge, the avon I wont need that much a week so extra for mags etc
vent : I think the mother of this little girl thought I was going o supply food and milk she is paying me $5 a hr like hell, also she sent me a list with the girls routine etc, and down the bottom it has toilet training the child turned 1 last weekend :doh: anyway telling me we put her on toilet at this time, so I sent a polite email saying you are supplying *** lunch snack etc ?? also as for toilet training ummm I think I will leave that to you we aren't there yet and I wouldn't have a clue what to do, so hopefully she doesn't get annoyed
then I said Jase oh well who cares i am the one doing the favour not her, if she doesn't like it she can find someone else, but I am not a daycare mum or childcare worker I dont think I should have to toilet train someone elses child WDYT!!!
anyway we went to rocky yesterday I so wish we were ready for our new lounge I actually sat on a lounge and went OMG this is the one, it was perfect except the color we would prefer chocolate where as this was cream/latte color but it was so nice, nice solidish arms I hate pillowtop arms 2 recliner in the 3 seater to die for :)
rach - I reckon the email you sent was spot on. Like you said, you're just babysitting not a childcare worker. You shouldn't be expected to toilet train a toddler, especially one who's only just turned 1.
I think Heath might be warming to the idea of tupperware. I was telling him that you girls swear by it too, and told him why, and he said 'oh, so things actually last longer do they'.
I'm going for a swim, too hot inside.
Guess who has a cloth bum!!!!!!
Thought i might try some out on missy.
Fun fun Ness! What's she wearing?
Negotiated with Rans to borrow some Baby Bonus money from our savings...it's a bit complicated, but the moral of the story is that I can shop for new baby/house stuff NOW, instead of with a 2 week old! I'm really happy about that. :D
Do you remember when we were expecting our last babies and planning what the Baby Bonus would go towards? I'd forgotten how exciting it is - even if most of it this time is going into savings, I still get a bit to play with!
LMAO, Rans just came in and pulled my arms in the air, and I said how good it felt to have all the weight of boobs and belly lifted and my back stretched, so he thought he'd try and help support the boob weight. :p He's been sent to go get me a hot milo and some brownies that i baked last night now!
Wow, is it hot there Jodi? It's pretty humid here, but not too hot.
I AM NOT LOOKING AT TUPPERWARE!!!!!!!! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!
Jodi - I should send you a pic of my pantry...its all tupperware and I love it. Makes life so much more easier. Look on ebay aswell cause I got a heap from the US and it ended up being 1/2 of what I would have paid for it here.
Rach - I use to babysit and got paid $5 an hour...stupid me included food but the kid only drank milk....I cant believe she expects you to toilet train her child for her.....nerve really and I agree with Jase......if she dont like it bugger off! How long would you be babysitting for? Would it be a permanent thing?
Ness - you go girl!!!!!!! I was very naughty and just bought some funky ar$e material from Spotlight....im getting the itch to sew again! Lady brids and bright zoo animals.
Nelle - PMSL at Rans...he sounds so much like Jed....poor bugger I wont let him near my bb's atm..their for practical use only now ;) WTG on getting some fundage early to
BBL his majesty heard me talking to Wilhelm
Time for a new thread everyone
