hi girls just a quick one from me as i am on day three of another bout of tonsilitis...will it EVER end?!
Rainy: congrats on reaching the full term! has the nesting started yet? i just saw on the news that we are going into the mid 40s on saturday...maybe a good day to take yourself to a day spa LOL!
PP: did you find somewhere to take N for his haircut? Leila also has long locks atm but we are making do with clips and hair-ties...but the inevitable is looming! :)
MM: my hens night was quite the un-event. leila was getting sick, it was the night before the wedding and she was with a hotel babysitter and she was only 6 months old so i was totally freaked out the whole night. went to a lovely restaurant though. other ones i have been to included dinner and then bars, and one was a high tea at the hyatt which was alot of fun.
Arte: good luck with the move. it sounds like you guys are pretty well on it tho'. not sure if we still get the cash...i heard today that the opposition are going to block the stimulus package (who needs infrastructure and job boosts anyway ppffft??!! LOL!).
AFM: well i am enjoying the new av! can't believe they found a tram! LOL! that is so awesome!
have been totally bed bound though with the tonsilitis. here i was thinking i had gotten off fairly easily with just a simple cold, but no, tonsils are all over it now. very hard to look after miss L when you have a raging temp, are running to the loo every 5 minutes and are about to vomit at any smell. oh joy. i wish they'd just rip the awful traitorous things out (do i sound bitter?! LOL!). so off to the dr tomorrow to start more useless pen injections. hopefully i wont be hospitalised like last time.
on the other hand, Leila is just gorgeous ATM. she too is getting frustrated when we dont get exactly what she is trying to say. but her comprehension of what we say is scary! :D we can now ask her to get her bib for dinner, or her socks and shoes and she manages to come out with the matching pair (the child's obsessed). also i am totally stoked as we have a rather wealthy family up the road and her 3 year old just had a b'day so we have inherited all the toys that she has grown out of. some of it is a bit OTT, but being the little miss, Leila LOVES the vanity set (with mirror!). i found her hugging and kissing her own reflection and saying 'bella bella' today LOL! :rolleyes: i am in soo much trouble when this child hits the teens it's not funny!
-
Oh clare- you poor thing. Do you qualify to have the nasty little offenders taken out? How many times in 12 months do you have to have it?
Arte- OK- no babies till after Tuesday. ;) GL with the move
MD- My name starts with A........ :p :Rofl:
MM- i saw some pics of a friends of a friends hens day. All the hens wore black and the hen wore a red dress, looked cool in the pics. Simple and easy too.
Got feet up watching TV, not alot to report. Had OB appointment yesterday, BP slightly up, nothing too concerning. Probably due to the fact i had to jump start the freaking car in the morning yesterday! :lol:
L is talking alot more in the last week, she was quite a few words now and lots of animal sounds. I love hearing her talk i could spend all day making her snort like a pig. It is hilarious. :rofl:
Although i vowed not to be one of those mothers that makes their child perform for other people, so i only do it at home.
-
Clare - Sounds horrible & painful, hope the antibiotics kick in fast you poor thing. As for L saying bella bella, how cute is that!
Falguni - Lol I know what you mean about 'those mothers'. Wow thats a nice idea for a hens theme.
-
Arte good luck with the move. How far pg are you now?
Clare you poor thing, I hope you get better soon. LMAO at little miss loving her reflection that is so adorable.
MM we didnt have a theme for my hens night. We had an adult toy party and just a few girly drinks at home.
Ange its a fantastic age isn't it, they are all just so cute and super clever.
Rainy study is on hold, dont really have anyone who could look after L if I was working. One day when the kids are older I guess, or when I can convince mum to retire and move up here lol.
-
Oz - I am the same with studies being on hold. Its hard when you dont have parents/in laws close by. What are your in laws like, are they near you? My parents just got back from a 6 month holiday, I missed having my mum around big time, & now they have just decided to move an hour and a half away, so devo!!! As for the hens night, they have decided to get everyone over to my joint (the weekend before the wedding...!) & everyone get on a party bus at 9.30pm to go clubbing. No theme its too hard.
Does anyone know how I become like a BB member & get an av etc?
-
MM both our families are in Sydney (where we grew up), we actually like being up here on our own but sometimes I get lonely and miss my family. My inlaws are ok, we lost MIL a few years ago to cancer and FIL is fine in small doses. I have pm'd you about upgrading your membership.
Off for a walk today and then I need to tackle the bathroom, the job I hate most in the entire world. I also have to set up the studio as I have a job this weekend, woo hoo some money.
-
PP, no giggling, she just says "Boo!" in her cutsie little voice! LOL
Rainy, just sign me up as Aardvark LOL! I've got DH listed as an Aardvark in my phone LOL.
Leanne, so good to have you back hun. Well done getting away with only one accident LOL - sounds like you think our Aus medical system is way better???
Arte, so have your fixed your fixer-upper or will it be a month of weekends (like ours! LOL). Yay how exciting (and tedious at the same time) to be moving in! Hopefully keyhole, tho they have warned me you can wake up with the slice and dice if your anatomy's tricky :rolleyes:. BTW I think NZ mild summer VS KRudd Money, kiwi wins hands down every time!
Clare, hugs hun on the tonsies. I was a chronic tonsie-sufferer in my childhood, sooooo know how awful it is. Tip to the wise: cry at the doctors, it might accelerate your ENT surgeon referral. PMSL laughing at your Bella prima donna there! SCORE on the handmedowns! I'd be putting the word out that you take clothing handmedowns as well - L could be set for childhood LOL!
Ange, where's the fun in not having L snort for the public? LOL E does this Incredible Hulk thing where she balls her fists so hard that she trembles all over, OMG it's hilarious. It's her regular party trick these days.
MM - go high tea at the Hyatt. You could always kick on at a bar later if you wanted to!! Oh just saw you're getting the parTAY bus! Oo that could get messy LOL. BTW - you can subscribe as a platinum member (paid subscription) - gives you an avvie.
-
Oh and I forgot the most exciting thing of all, I'm a GREAT-auntie! :o! My nephew's GF gave birth to a little girl (awwww!) late last night. All well. My stepmum was falling about laughing the other day because apparently everyone's too vain to be called Nanna or Grandma anymore, and my sis has opted to be a "Saffi" instead. LOL
-
Hey yummy mumma's ~
I hope someone remembers me, lol..
I'm so happy to see some of your are still here!
Your tots are just gorgeous, Scarlet is a total BRAT, well lately anyway *sigh*
I'm going to have a squizz at some posts & see if i can catch up on how you're all doing.
:dance:
-
OMG LP you came back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Where did you disappear to? I was worried about you, you were here one day and then never again... it is great to see you back!
Lots of us are still here!!

-
Welcome back LP!! How have you been?! We wondered where you had got to. Yep I hear you, I just think its the age that they are at.
Oz - Thanks for the PM.
MD - Congratulations!!
-
LP!!!!!!!!!!! You're back. :cheer: We were all so worried about you babe! What you been up to?
ETA - forgot to say, we're heading out shortly for Miss E's first day at Kindergym! *claps hands* Oh i'm so excited I can't wait! I know she'll absolutely love it!!
-

LP- where have you beeeeenn???? we were so worried!!!! tell us everything!!
md- lol at the aardvark, what a crack up!
what did they call the baby?
arte- best of luck with the move. i'll try not to have the baby this weekend, seeing as both you and my dh are busy ;)
it looks like we might be getting $1900 k-rudd
katie- what are you photographing this wknd?
i haven't cleaned the bathroom in months. my shower is supposed to have see-through glass but you can't see through it atm
clare- sorry about your PITA tonsills
not much going on around here today, went to playgroup this morning, i was so tired i was nearly falling asleep just sitting there. came home, had a brief nap and now i'm sitting here boiling hot again. we desperately need to get a full-on super strength air-con installed.
-
YaY! you do remember me!
I'm sorry for dropping off the face of the planet.
I came home one afternoon to a completely empty house, Shannon recieved some very bad news which caused him to have an awful nervous breakdown all of a sudden & went a bit off the rails, he ended up spending 3 months in hospital & we've had a very rough time, sold the house & now we're living in a teensy little 2 bedroom unit for a little while but we are all doing well now & life is better than ever.
I did drop in & read a few posts a while ago but things were still a bit messy.
MASSIVE congratz to all who are preggers again!!! You are brave, brave women! LOL
Scarlet is very happy & learning new things every day.
We have a pool here so i've been taking her swimming 2 or 3 times every day & she's getting so good at it!
We've had alot of medical problems with her since about 14mths, horrible unexplained rashes, vomiting, difficulty breathing... she just suddenly turned into a nightmare behaviour wise too & I FINALLY found out yesterday (after months of tests) that she has a severe dairy allergy so i have to cut out dairy completely for the next 4 weeks & then introduce some slowly to see if she can tolerate any at all. You would not believe how many products have dairy in the ingredient list!
It's amazing how much her behaviour has changed just from having no dairy products yesterday or today, so i'm very optimistic about it.
I have thrown myself right back into my artwork now, Scarlet has been going to daycare twice a week so i have time to paint, She adores going there & has heaps of little friends. It's so cute.
-
MD congrats on the new bub in the family.
Rainy I have a 7 week old little girl coming for photos this weekend. My shower sounds like yours. I still havent done it lol.
It is hot here today and all I wanna do is sit on the couch and watch TV but I have so much to do. I think one of you should give me an excuse not to do anything.
-
LP wow you really have been through a lot honey - what a tough time you have had. I am glad that SHannon is doing better and it sounds like you are all back on track. A friend of mine recently dealt with a similar thing, and i know how difficult that can be. do you still have your nieces (??) living with you? It must be good to know what's up with S, and it is great she is already doing better!
Katie - hmm what excuses cani think of for you. i usually cook when i am looking for an 'excuse' - still a chore but a more fun one...
-
wow LP you've been through a lot. great to have you back now, hopefully you can stick around.
katie- it's too hot to do anything.
this heat is killing me
