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!!
