OMG Arte, CONGRATULATIONS! Wow I am so happy for you, yay!
Howdy everyone, miss me? lol
OMG Arte Congratulations!!!! I am so happy for you.
Does that only leave me TTC?
Way to much to catch up on so fill me in all the important stuff.
Had a great Christmas but am buggered from being in the car all day, L was a gem on the long trips but a bit of a sook most of the week lol. Will try and catch up a little.
Ha ha Oz...no i think it' us the 3 musketeers (hayley, you and me!) still standing at the TTC dock!!
Arte: well at least will is getting molars...i think Leila's teeth have gone into hiding. we only have 6 teeth!
Ange: totally jealous of your pamper package. i could sooo go a massage! where is this place tahth you and rainy go?
Rainy: no luck on the house hunting. the market has really dried up, no one is selling as ppl are no longer buying like crazy and the amount of auctions that are passing in is not funny. a house sold in Princes hill (3 beds) for less than 600K the other day. this time last year it would have sold for over 1 million. but yeah, as a result no one wants to sell. boo hoo. that's ok though as our rental just had a rise but not by too much so we are happy to hang out here and bide our time.
Cally: could it of been a viral rash? sometimes they are slightly raised and pimply looking. comes out usually after sustained temps...Leila had it and totally freaked me out LOL!
AFM: all ok here. a few broken nights which is unusual for L. so am feeling it the next day (man i have been spoilt!). i think it may be teeth but again not sure.
not much else to report. getting excited about the neighbourhood family picnic tonight. but that's about it!
Are you serious, its only the 3 of us left ttc!? WOW I cant believe how many of us September mummies are pregnant again. I bet I will be the last as we wont be trying until April 09!
Oz - Glad L wasnt too bad with the car journey.
Clare - Oh my gosh thats a big drop in price, did you try to bid on that house? Its the same over here with housing. You can pick up some bargains as a buyer atm, but sellers are losing out, and same thing people wont list with the market the way it is. However I work in property settlements and we have had a few sellers who have had no choice but to sell, being close to a mortgagee sale, and the buyers have got absolute bargains. We've also done a huge amount of mortgagee sale settlements lately, its sad I feel very sorry for these people having their homes taken from them.
Well I had grand plans to take miss M down to the beach this morning, but DP sold my car and its already gone. So I am carless, therefore housebound. My new one will arrive in the next few days, but we are waiting for the money for our car we just sold to clear, before we can pay for my new one. Oh thats another thing, soooo angry at DP, he told the buyers that they could take the car, even though the money hasnt cleared into our bank account & they told us they would bring their internet banking receipt to show they have deposited it, yet they didnt show up with it. Still DP let them take the car. DODGY, I hope to hell they arent that kind of people because I told DP I wont be marrying him if it doesnt work out lol. FINGERS CROSSED.
So its Dr Phil & Oprah today hehe
MM: oh i would not be happy with DH!! i hope that they are honest and pay up.
man i always forget about oprah and dr phil!! ggrrrr. i love my trashy daytime tv!! LOL!
and no worries on the TTC front we have decided to postpone until september 09...just hoping it doesnt take 18 months like last time.
Oz: i was also amazed at how well miss L coped on the long car trips we took recently. i think i was more pooped than she was.
anyway gotta keep this short and sweet as i am currently roasting 2 chickens, roast potatoes, making a bean salad, and putting together some dips and the like for tonight. DH is walking the dog. :clap:
omg arte did i miss a big announcement congratulations!!!

Noni - Poor Asha she hasnt been well for at least a week now has she? Hope the sample tells you whats wrong! :( Enjoy your night.
Clare - I hope so too, I'm a nervous wreck today. I cant believe he did that, he works in the car industry ffs! He of all people should know better. I am doing roast chicken, veges and salad too tonight and I've just popped a bottle of red in the freezer to cool it down quick. Our little party will only be a party for two though. The in laws were meant to be coming but arent any longer, woo hoo!!
I am beyond bored today....I seriously have been twiddling my thumbs and googling random stuff, in between entertaining M.
Just a quick one from me to wish Arte a HUGE CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!! You've made me so happy to hear that hun and a great way to end the year - here's to another September bub for you LOL!
OMG ARTE - big big big CONGRATULATIONS:dance:! Woohoooo! What a fantastic Chrissy present!! When did you test/work it out?? I am DYING to hear all the details! I'm guessing it will be an August baby? Leo's and Virgos get on like a house on fire! You have made my day. xxx
DH shopped until he dropped today in the young trendy mens section at Myer and bought a few ummm questionable items. Told him I'd have to take him to Harris Scarfe for some old man's clothes to balance him out LOL. Also got Missy E a cute-as mermaid outfit from Cotton On! We did the Ikea stomp yesterday and have some great ideas for Missy E's bedroom when we finally move in. Chafing at the bit to get home, really.
Well it's a quiet night in, we're still slinking around town, haven't seen all my friends yet. Thought about going to the family fireworks but we'll be able to see them out of the window and after E's terror-stricken tram ride last week don't want to risk the scary fire cracker noises! LOL So she'll be tucked up in bed while we enjoy some 98% fat free nibblies and play some games. Just wanted to pop on and let you all know I will be thinking of you and wishing you all a very happy New Year, filled with all your heart desires! xxx
Happy new year ladies!! 2009 here we come! Wishing you all a safe & prosperous 2009.
Well the money for the car cleared so I'm relieved to say the least.
Bursting at the seams atm, we just had a huge roast dinner, followed by double choc icecream much to M's delight and now a bottle of red wine. Feeling so full!
MD - Woo hoo go your DH!!!
Ladies .. sounds like some good NYE plans going there .. i'm sitting in bed, on msn with a few friends, have noticed Hayley lurking on f.b .. & there is only 23 mins in NSW to go ..

Happy new year!!!
morning ladies
happy new year to everyone!! hope you all had a great night, the 3 of us (or should i say 4 of us?) were all tucked up in bed asleep together at 10.30pm after a big indian feed :)
well i've started the new year in fine form. just went out to the driveway all ready to head out for the day, started the car....and had no petrol!
dh has just gone down to the petrol station to get me a jerry can. whoops!
HAPPY NEW YEAR GIRLS!!!!
just a quick one as BB is a bit slow today....
hope you all had a lovely night and welcome to 2009 ladies!!
here in melbourne it is freezing and raining. very different from the 41 degrees at midnight last year huh?!
happy new year all!!
i put some new pics on fb if anyones interested :)
Okay I think I am officially the worst BB member on this thread. :hide: I'm so sorry for being slack. I'm down in Brissie at mums and am on dial up again. Only just got my net sorted at home then had to regress back to the olden days of dial up.
Congrats Arty...so happy for you.
We may need to change the 3 musketeers though to a typical boy band of 4. We're soon to be TTC. We were originally talking about new years onwards but it might be postpined for a few months now. We're going to Fiji in April so maybe after that. Not sure yet. Gotta to have another talk with DH to see what he thinks. My brothers wife had their second daughter on Monday...Kayla Rose. Can't remember size but was a VBAC which my SIL was hoping for. Mind you she delivered in the theatre after Kaylas heartbeat dropped a bit. My SIL was pushing all the way up to theatre to avoid another c/s. They had a quick look before slicing her and the midwife saw the head.
Still waiting on pics Gracie from the wedding! Good news about DH (exciting getting to say that now, isn't it) standing up for you with the ILs, but bummer about the biffo. Must have just been another way to work off those frustrations. Would be good to have him back with you though now.
Can't remember much else about the rest of the posts...I told you that I'm a slack a$$. Just call me Dory after the fish in Finding Nemo....short term memory loss at its best.
AFM - Well Sarah is running, climbing, bobbing her head in some sort of dance move (will post on youtube (link on fb) once I get home on the weekend), she got some more words but I'm not entirely convinced that shes meaning them or just testing sounds out still. I did get the hint when she shook her head at me when I told her to lie down and go to sleep however. She was spoilt rotten at christmas. We gave her the wheely bug, some boikdo blocks and music table, a bookcase shaped like a dollshouse and some outdoor play things. MIL got her Iggle Piggle blanket time which is being carted everywhere (even down here to my mums), some ITNG plush toys, wooden toys as well as like 3 Little People sets. And thats all I can remember from her. She was spoilt for sure. I'll try to put those pics up as well next week.
Went to Ikea last Sunday and was happy with that, then Monday I went to Spotlight where I scored 75% off my whole docket. Didn't realise that until after, it was only supposed to be the xmas deccys but the cashier made a boo-boo. $100 worth of stuff for $20! SCORE! Headed to Bribie for a picnic on the beach yesterday (lovely but got bitten/stung by sea lice, owies), did nothing last night, had a family bbq lunch today and am heading to Whitewater world tomorrow with DH. Mums offered to look after S all day so that should be good as well. I'll be burnt but happy.
I think thats all for now...BBL if Dory thinks of anything else. TTFN
Oh Oh Oh...saw those pics Noni. Just gorgeous. Where does the time go? They were only just babies yesterday weren't they?
MD, I tested on Christmas day! Baby is due about 6 september, so probably two virgos. How do they get along? I am hoping to hold out to get my 09-09-09 bub but I don't like my chances of getting there if the GD strikes again - I have made a deal with the universe - I will take the GD again if I can skip the morning sickness lol
Thanks for all the congrats, still sinking in and now I am starting to have the 'oh my god what have I done' thoughts lol
