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!
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*
