Its a rainy day here today. I went to the shops this morning thinking it would be better then trying to go on the weekend and after driving around looking for parking for 25 mins I gave up and came home, I guess everyone has the bonus money lol. Will try again early tomorrow.
hiya girls!!!! it's been awhile...found it hard to find a computer while we have been away...then BB went out of action
and so what have i missed.....
oh yeah, EVERYTHING!! LOL!
arte buys a house (and cashes a windfall...lovely suprise!!). ohhhh i am green with envy!
and Rainy gets hitched!!!! wow! congrats! sounds just divine!!!!! i hope that some pics may appear . i love photos LOL!
MD: big thanks for hanging out with us the other day! it was just lovely!! although, boy oh boy did i have a chocolate overload or what?!!! i was soooo full after our koko black experience!! (oh, and i lost the chocolate i bought! it musta fallen outta the pram...bummed!).
Oz: IKWYM, we ended up doing our shopping mostly in canberra as in melbourne ATM it is just too crazy.
SupaB: LOL! no, i am one of the non pregnant ones too!! have to say that i am way too run off my feet ATM with miss L to even contemplate the next bubba ATM. although seeing all these newborns lately does do strange things with my biological clock....
anyway, best be off to finish reading all the posts i have missed...
Rainy I will get the bonus at Tax time as I don't receive fortnightly payments. Do you have to go and change your name on everything now? I thought that was such a pain. I was just looking at your FB pics and seen the ones of L on the scales when he was born and thought awwww you will have another one of those photos soon but with a new bub.
I love looking at photos of when L was born, I cant believe he was ever that small.
Clare you lost chocolate? I would be devastated lol. Sounds like you and MD had a good day.
katie- yeah i have to start that whole hoo-ha of changing my name. cannot be bothered though!!!
i hope when the new one is born the scales don't read 4.6 kg again LOL
Rainy, you really don't "have" to change your name. You could just be a Mizz Forever like me LOL. I hope you guys at least got a night of honeymoon passion in before life went back to 'normal' again. . Anyway, when did you guys decide to skip the long engagement LOL?
Huge congrats to you too Arte. You are gonna love being a homeowner of a modestly-priced home!! (it's like an ad for emigrating to NZ you know). It sounds like it's got everything you need plus an acre! LOL
SupaB - nope not in Adel yet, we'll be arriving just before christmas and moving back into our house in Jan. It would be lovely to meet up for a coffee one day. Will pm you my phone number once we're all set up at the other end. xx
Clare it was lovely to see you, DH is sick of hearing how cute and entertaining L was! I'm dying to hear whether your DH was holding a suspiciously-Chanel-shaped package when you met up with him again LOL. OMG you must be devastated about losing your chocolate...hmm sounds like a good excuse for a return visit to me. Anyhow you're still a bit ahead of me...I got pulled over by the polizei on the way home and scored a $90 fine for not changing my rego sticker over. I mean, ...honestly!!! Go and Catch Some Real Criminals and Merry Christmas to You Too!
PP - Sooooo glad you like Robson, I was hoping to score him when E was born but no such luck. However he was very helpful and kind the couple of times i did see him so it bodes very well.
Well I'd love to stay and chat but DH is having a stress breakdown AND I've got to go and find our wet-weather provisions since H is supposed to be singing at the carols tonight but it's been pouring rain all day and they are determined that the show Will Go Ahead. *sigh*
Awwww Gee wizz! I have a day away and miss all the exciting news! G, you have me wiping away tears my love, it sounded like the perfect day for you and I wish more than anything I could give you a big hug and a kiss and tell you congratulations in person And oh how I would love to be a fly on the wall when your MIL finds out *mwa-ha-ha*!
Arte, well done on the house and the land price too!
H, I read something a while back that you wont have to pay the 1000 back if you underestimated your income. But even if you only get one dollar of FTBA, then you were entitled to it.
md- i would like to change my name though so that i have the same name as the kids. i really hate having to explain it everywhere, would be so much easier if we all have the same name iykwim?
we decided on the short engagement straight away- once we knew what we wanted to do, we just wanted to do it!
sherie- aawwww thanks so much, you've made my day
yes, well, PIL don't know yet.....
i think dh may call them tonight, or he may wait till he goes there at xmas to tell them in person.
apparantely mil is going through a really hard time atm, as she had to quit her job as she had upset so many women in the office there. she's just so toxic! ontop of that she had to find out that lewis and i aren't going to her house for xmas and that lewis is walking from dh's brother..
how's your recovery going?
Sounds like karma is biting her in the ass bigtime! Couldn't happen to a nicer person either Don't you dare spare a minute more worrying about her feelings when she finds out all your news second hand or after everyone else. She hasn't earned the right to be in the inner circle with you. Recovery isn't too bad now - I can bend over now at least, but it catches up with me at night though and I'm all achey. My gyno should call me tonight actually to let me know what he found etc.
thanks sherie- yes i agree with you that karma is finally catching up with her. i just wish i could completely cut her out of my life and never have to deal with her ever again. i'm sort of encouraging dh not to call her (v biatchy, i know) because i would love her to find out from someone else....as i think it would hurt more...i can't believe how manipulative and biatchy i'm being!!!! in the way though, i feel bad for his brother having to go back and deal with all the questions next week (he is living with them atm)......mmmm, maybe i should just get all you girls to write me heaps of 'congrats on your marriage' messages on fb and let it filter through to her that way....he he he, i'm so evil!!!
i really hope you get some answers tonight from your gyno. will he then be able to put you on a course of appropriate painkillers?
Oh yeah, it would be tough for your BIL having to deal with it, but if he's like most guys it will be like water off a ducks back to him. I don't think you're being too biatchy or anything, she's done some awful things to you and I think it would be a valuable lesson for her to learn that others think about her the way they do because of the way she has treated them - you reap what you sow.
Oh, pain-wise I'm OK, it's not been that bad that I *need* anything for it, its more just that I get really crampy, like a bad period pain and still just sore form where the incisions are, so it just needs time to heal and I probably shouldn't try to do as much as I do either LOL. And if it did get bad, I have a box of pandeine Forte here (which make me feel stoned LOL so it's not terribly smart to take them when I'm here alone with the kids kwim).
ahhhh i don't know katie!!!
what do you girls think????
i am friends on fb with dh's cousin and a couple of friends, so word would definitely filter through to her before dh got up there for xmas.
where's our gorgeous child of the universe md when i need her??? what do you think md, is it too wrong and manipulative to put it out there this way? i just don't want to stoop to her evil level this way.
i was thinking that if anyone wrote anything on fb, i would just quickly delete it..
dh and his brother are out at a job working late.
i think he's totally beyond caring about her or her feelings or her thoughts anymore. he just wants minimal drama in our lives.
yeah, maybe just leave it until he's spoken to her. it just feels too much like adding fuel to the fire. i'll give you the go-ahead in the next couple of days.
thanks for thinking of me katie xoxo
Rainy, I think that is a very wise decision to keep it discrete until DH has told MIL. You know the news is going to antagonise her (and it serves her right if that's the way she's going to be towards you both) but you don't need to be unnecessarily cruel about it, kwim? Plus in purely selfish terms it will come back at you for much longer and with a lot more bitterness if you go about it the wrong way (speaking from considerable experience with my own toxic mother). Sometimes it's best to take the middle path. xxx
Rainy, your wedding sounds lovely! I am soo glad you had the perfect day you deserve. I have been married nearly 3 years and still have my maiden name on heaps of things like my drivers licence etc, it is such a mission to change everything.
MD, how did you DH's op go?
Noni, you are due in early August aren't you? Can you aim to pop out your bub on the 7th? Then he can have a cool birthday - 07-08-09!
Trill, Mr A sounds like such a character!
W is getting so good with his fine motor skills now - he can balance on one foot and slide the other into his croc's, he makes me hold him up so he can put the key in and out of the keyhole in the door, he wants to clip himself into the pram etc, I know I have said it a million times but I am so amazed at how quickly he is growing up!
