Its me! I am back. Finally back online wireless. We have moved house since speaking to you all last and its been hectic! I have been continuing one day a week working and TAFE is NOW finally finished for the year. Oh boy, never ever ever doing 2 modules at the same time. There went my life, let alone dealing with a little miss tapping at my keyboard and changing the settings the minute i turn my back. ha ha. T is doing so good, walking now bit wobbly, and bumping her head she has 3 bruises at the moment, but she is fairly talkative, saying daddeee (fav) and mum, she said apple once, says girl all the time when she sees a baby. i am thinking of buying a plastic dolly toy thing for her as one of her friends had one and she thinks its the ants pants.
i am so glad to see u are all well. i CANNOT believe all you guys are pg again!! seriously is it everyone except for me? Well guys CONGRATULATIONS to you all. I am jealous and not jealous at the same time. ha ha does that make sense. we have been so busy to even talk about it, let alone dtd. lol lol.
marydean - r u in adelaide now?
pregpan - wow congrats chic u did it!
Is anyone finding out this time around? i reckon i would. i won't be playing hero if it happens to me again. lol. c-section all round. but i don't have to think about that do I?
I miss you guys!!!! will be logging on more frequently now.
hi supa! so lovely to hear from you and little miss T sounds delightful!!! time has passed so quickly, i cantbelieve all our little munchkins are 15 months... wow!! glad tafe is done for the yr, you did have a lot on your plate... i know what you mean re the typing and the little ones playing w the keyboard, my laptop is N's FAVOURITE!
Trill - i havent had N's hair cut yet, it is v long but bc it is curly it just looks like a big unruly mess... rather than majorly long. when it is wet it comes half way down his back LOL! we have a tradition that we dont cut boys hair til 3yo, but i am not sure we can hold out that long. it adds to the amt of ppl who think he is a girl thats for sure!
LOL PP! Well I guess it's blue blue and more blue for him then. So when you do finally cut his hair, do you have a ceremony or anything? (i'm so sorry if that sonds ignorant)
Oh hey you SupaB! I vaguely remember who you are T sounds just gorgeous. I loved my girls when they were that age and all girly (now they are just *precious* iykwim ) So are you back at TAFE next year too?
Supablondie - Hi & welcome back. T sounds like she is doing really well.
Pregpan - Good luck with holding out to 3 years, I hope you can make it. Thats a sweet tradition!!
Trillian - I should have taken M to the hairdresser as well for her cut, but silly me thought I could do it lol.
Havent left yet obviously. All packed and waiting for DP to come home from work and for M to wake.
Just have a quick question really I dont know if you ladies can shed some light....its regarding the $1000 bonus. Much to our suprise we have been paid the money into our account, big shock as we are sure we dont get Part A, but anyway who's complaining! Anyway the q is, if by tax time it turns out you have earnt too much, do you have to pay back the $1000? We estimated DP's income at an amount thinking it would be right, but turns out by tax time he will definately make over the amount, so we have underestimated. I'm just sick of always paying back the money to the government, our estimates are always turn out to be too low when we thought they were reasonable lol. We paid back our benefit at the end of the last financial year, I feel like calling centerlink & saying dont bother paying us the $20 piddly crap that you give us a fortnight, it does nothing, and at tax time we have to pay back a huge lump sum iykwim! ANyway that turned into an essay....
MM, can't help you with your tax question, but I hope you have a great trip and M's ears don't give her any more trouble
PAP, lol whomever made up that tradition obviously didn't have kids with hair like Noah!
Trill, good to hear you are feeling better. Isn't this just a fantastic age! W is so much fun.
SupaB, good to see you
Well girls, it has been a long time coming
but I am excited
to finally announce
that I.....
have bought a house!!!!!!
Our offer was accepted and we move in early Feb. It has 4 bedrooms, a sunroom/office, a sleepout and is on almost half an acre. It needs a bit of work but nothing too major, I am quite excited. And we had a lovely theoretical windfall when the bank double checked some land we own and found the value has changed from $50k to $125k - I didn't even know!
wooooooo hoooooooooo arte! congratulations!!!
lol re the hair, you are right they cant have haid my boys locks... but then again you see a lot of pretty young jewish 'girls' who are actually spunky 2.5 yr old boys!!!! i'd like to hold out bc it is a tradition i like but i just dont think i can do it - he looks trendy now with his got out of bed look... but another 21 months may push it... we will see!!
hayley - sorry i dont know re the tax. i think you woudl prob have to pay it back... but i have no idea!
ha!!! you girls crack me up!!!! i knew you'd love this one
ok..ok....
well, basically we went to the registry office at the old treasury building this morning and did it! it was absolutely beautiful, so relaxed and the celebrant was lovely and funny.
dh's (ooohhh, i like the sound of that!) brother came down from sydney and we also took my best friend to be our witnesses. my dad looked after lewis.
after the ceremony we went out for a gorgeous lunch in the sunshine at a historic restaurant near our house with beautiful gardens/views. then we all came back here for drinks on our new deck and my dad came up with the little man. my bf's mum came up with a big bunch of pink flowers and a bottle of champers!
now lewis is crashed out from his big day at grandpa's place and dh and his brother are out the front working on their boat LOL....seems like a perfect day all round to me!
