MD - So envious of you meeting Guy!! He seems like a really nice guy
Arte - Who the hell steals meat!? LOL! He must feel like a bit of a fool now
Katie - Yay for Z's first trip to the beach, she will be a little surfie girl before you know it lol
Clare - Oh no at least your DH got the hint and took L along!
TT, I havent started yet either & to be honest I dont even know where to start. Do you just use the pull up nappies first? I have no idea.
Girls we have our nephew's christening this coming weekend, and DH & I are the godparents. No idea about any of this christening stuff, however I need gift ideas! Help?????? He is almost two so I cant get like a silver baby rattle etc
Also do you think its inappropriate of me to wear a white dress? I am so low on formal wear I have nothing else to wear. Its a gorgeous summery witchery dress, but white as white can be.
MM- re the toilet training I just put Livi in Undies. The white dress sounds lovley and will be fine. I bought my neice a jewellery box for her christening.
MM, how about one of those silver money boxes? I think you can get trains/aeroplanes etc. Apparently the burgler has been caught stealing meat a few times lol. It is quite common here because we are in a rural area so heaps of people have freezers in outbuildings that have thousands of dollars worth of meat in them (from home kill animals)
Jazah, yay for the new babies coming into your family! How exciting. How is J going now?
Ange, how is L with Sas these days?
Clare, sounds like your DH made a good choice taking L with him lol
Is this the weekend that MP and Cally were meeting up?
hey everyone,
just got very wet walking asha to daycare lol.. thank god i went with the pram that came with a rain cover coz i havnt seen double pram raincovers in the shop before lol..
had a good weekend, just a bit of shopping and then some of dh's family over for dinner, i made jam drop biscuits and chocolate slice during the day and am now wishing i didnt coz i am sitting here with it calling me from the kitchen hahaha!!
alls well with tt here, ashas doing really well, only one accident on the wkend and that was last night while she was eating so cant blame her for being distracted school today tho so who knows what will happen there..
arte - how is w now? poor thing!!
mm - we used those training undies at first u can get them in packs of 3 from big w where all the other tt stuff is.. theyre the same as undies just a little more padding so its unlikely poo will slip out onto the floor and its a smaller puddle to clean up if they do a wee, sometimes no puddle if its a small one.. theyre the same as undies in the regard that they will still feel wet.. if u just wanna start slow but u can just put her on the potty or toilet as soon as she gets up in the middle of a nappy change and before she goes to bed.. and ofc praise her heaps if she does anything but sending them between nappy changes as well can be an easy no pressure way to start.. sorry i kinda went on a bit there didnt i lol!
katie - aww first day at the beach! she is so adorable! have been looking at the pics on fb!
leanne - yay for a day with no accidents!!! glad the boys are better now too!
jaz - thats such a cute idea re the teachers day gifts!! do u think i should get something for ashas pre-school teachers or its not the same thing?? am still agonising over xmas gifts for them will prob just go with chocs lol so lazy!
clare - well done on making him realise and take leila!! men are so clueless sometimes!!
hi to anyone i missed
hope everyones having a nice day
Yes, MP and I had coffee (and a super scrummy raspberry / white chocolate / coconut muffin) yesterday. Unfortunately N couldn't come as he was sick and J was coming down with something so she has had to cut her holiday short. Was good to see her though and hoping we can catch up later in the year when she next pops down.
MM - my stock standard christening gift is a lovely cutlery set - I *always* buy the wiltshire kids ones - they have a bunny/ducky/dog/teddy engraved on the handle. I bought one for my DD when she was baptised and they're still going strong, have stayed in lovely condition etc. Because you're also godparents I think it's your job to also buy a really lovely bible stories book or bible (if the family is really christian) but if the family is really more secular find a children's book with stories/blessings etc from many faiths or about guardian angels or whatever your belief is. White dress perfectly appropriate.
Clare our DH's have been excelling lately haven't they LOL. Except mine made up for his sins by coming home and moving all the furniture around after I'd mentioned it *once* only so I'm a very happy wifey now LOL. Good luck with the BIG MOVE - I'm so excited for you (can you tell??)
So glad you got to catch up Cally & MP - bummer about the kids being sick though! Always rotten timing, isn't it?
Arte - far out at the meat burglar --- that just begs belief doesn't. So glad he got his just desserts and I hope the insurance comes thru for you. Will your DH have to go to court as a witness or anything? I hope W is better soon, that much poo is never fun for anyone.
Leanne - LOLing about your Shannon Noll moment, I hope your friend had a good laugh too.
Jazah gosh you're a wonder woman doing the housework when H is asleep - that's my blob-on-the-couch time LOL. You must be going great with the weight loss, you sound like you're still really motivated. WTG. I love the CD idea, I'm sure he will *love* it. Re the party, don't panic, just start making lists!
Noni you're really our frontier woman when it comes to TTing - well done! Jam drop biscuits and choc slice sound yum, tho I'm having a giggle remembering how you never used to cook and now you're a regular domestic goddess!
AFM - Still coming down from the excitement of my brush with celebrity LOL. Missy E has just learnt how to do kisses to get the real kissy noise, so she's being going around making random kissy noises all the time LOL. My gorgeous little girl!
Arte: ah, so that does make sense that a person would try their luck at flogging the meat...still, sounds so bizarre to steal THAT much meat in one go LOL! (that said, DHs Dad had $10k worth of olive oil stolen from their lockup too, crazy stuff).
Oz: ha ha ha! ah fresh air on young babies, works a treat to have them sleep and no doubt the sounds of the waves were also rather soothing.
Jaz: i reckon the cd sounds cool! i am certain the teacher will find it gorgeous too!
that is a big event to hold!! but i guess if it is all combined then you do save on the invites and food...it is on the same day right??!!
MM: i reckon a silver moneybox idea is a good one....and the white dress will be perfect. if you are nervous on the whiteness, just accessorise with a nice light and colourful scarf/wrap or bold necklace.
Leanne: that is so awesome that you got to meet to Oz! glad the boys were able to fight off the temps without too much worry and you were also able to enjoy your special time away.
AFM: well, feeling alot calmer today. amongst the chaos i realised that i hadnt eaten all day yesterday .
it's official: leila is totally in love with a boy from kindy. and he totally loves her back LOL! they are sooo cute together. they hold hands, cuddle and KISS! ha ha ha! and they always run off together and read books or play trucks, leaving the other kids to eat their dust LOL!
that is awesome news about the TT...i am sooo stoked that you used the terry pants from BigW cause i just bought a pack a couple of weeks ago and am waiting for the warm weather to start so we can rip em out LOL!
