Bath, the following week is looking better for me, too. My mum's got a friend from O/S visiting Oz for the first time and she'll do the Melb component with her next week, before taking her to Sydney then back to the country. The following week is the week before my sister gets here and all is well for that week!
Sorry about the previous post - was typing one handed, with Kimba the friggin (I mean, white) Lion playing in the background with Oscar's running (loud) commentary!
Must run cause I am at work but Tali I can imagine how you must feel!
Jealous of your meet up, girls
Me - good for now, still a bit sad (surprisingly) about the m/c because I should have/would have been 14 weeks pg but now but ah well. Back at work, DH hoping to start a Master of Teaching this year and we are planning moving to the country once he finishes Maybe Warragul, maybe Bendigo, maybe someplace else.
Will we be neighbours, Rory? We're looking at Warragul, too for you andwhat you are feeling for now.
Gotta fly and get ready to see my horse with the boy...
Maya thanks I would love to see your new place, and yes my parents do live in Inverloch, we wont be able to get down to Melbounre until next summer, which I think is half my problem, guess its good I will have a weekend away to see my Family in Feb...
Rory BTW I am loving all the 80's flash backs you are doing on FB, I hope you keep them coming... Oh if I was you I would choose the sth eastern coast, very pretty down that way
Mel where are you, your normally always good for a long post, expecally when we are all a little chatty...
Well lets see, BHL has been talking more and more about moving out of Mackay in a years time as he knows I hate it and he isnt too fond of it himself, plus he is getting quite annoyed with his job, and is thinking of doing the course that will get him on the oil rigs, or a course that will get him to be a electirition ( as he is navy qualified but not civvy so needs to do a few more mods ), but all this is leading to us moving away from here, he has even been thinking about moving us back to Melb, ( will just have to get used to the cold weather and choose a house with better heating ) but I will not get my hopes up this is something he will have to decided himself as this is it we can keep movig around it cost us way too much plus Zayden will be in High school in 3 years so he really needs to be settled for those final school years...
Geez I have missed heaps!!!! I didn't get an email about new discussions until today. I hate it when I miss so much! Sorry girls
Our NYE was brilliant. Had 3 other families come over for a bbq dinner and swim. It was so stinking hot, everyone spent ages in the pool. Then the big storm hit and everyone wanted to stay in, DH turned all the lights off and they all watched the storm in the pool. It was pouring down but they didn't want to move. It was great watching everyone have so much fun. Most of the adults spent time in the spa, it was weird sitting in there while it was pouring. Then it got really windy and stuff was blowing everywhere. The bigger kids got to stay up till midnight and then they were asleep by 12.15!!!! Poor things. Littlies went to bed around 10ish, and put up a bit of a fight.
Bath - I love the tightrope! Chelsea is really good at it. I was hopeless when I first started but getting the hang of it now. Skiing, not so good Sebel, you lucky girl! Sounds divine! Enjoy.
Maya - Earthly Treasures sounds great. Hope we can find a day to suit everyone. I have been checking out your pics and T is getting so big! Those cheeks are filling out, love chubby cheeks.
Ali - HAPPY 30th BIRTHDAY!!! I hope you had a great day Monday (you spring chicken!!!).
Tali - how fantastic for your sisters, you mum and dad must love having all these extra grandkids. My poor MIL will only have my two, BIL is not married and still lives at home (he is a bit of a loner) and is now 45 and not likely to marry or meet someone any time soon. I feel so bad for you, feeling so home sick. But Feb isn't far away, and you will have the best weekend. You should spoil yourselves and go for a spa treatment before the theatre. You deserve it. Thanks for asking where I was - its nice to know that I am missed
Rory - wow, a treechange for you too. How exciting. The Junies will have to make the pilgrimage to go and visit you all - that would be fun!
With regards to our meet up, I am on holidays until 19th Jan (and loving it!). I can do anyday next week, except 15th (Chelsea's birthday). And either Monday or Wednesday (week of 18th). Fingers crossed we can get together. Maya, I will bring the muslins for you!
Had my niece stay over last night and took the kids to the Collingwood Childrens Farm today, which was great. The cafe was delicious!!! The kids got to hold guinea pigs and go and pat goats, cows, sheep and pigs. Marley got the most excited when she saw the resident cat lol!
Well that should be enough to keep you reading for a while lol!!!!
Just very briefly as I really need to re-adjust my bio clock and get some early nights in!
Rory: !!! A tree change! Can't wait to hear more about that! I've lived in Warragul and like Mel said it would be great of you and Maya lived close so we could have regular pilgrimages The train goes there I believe...
Meetup: What days are your prefs Maya? Rory: are you sure you can't join us? Do you work every day? Can't wait to meet T-girl!
Tali: Well, with climate change maybe Melbourne will warm up just enough to be tolerable for you... but no doubt I would have moved to Scotland by then!!! Hope your BHL finds a job he's happier with.
Sebel booked... leaving on Friday back on Sunday... going to be hot apparently... yay for being somewhere with aircon and an indoor pool for the weekend!!!
At the moment I'm good for any day next week
Yep, train goes to Warragul. Hoping to see a property next weekend that is in Strzlecki, so getting into Sth Gippy territory. Hoping to see a horse breeder on Sat about a breed that Paradise Lost put me onto in a thread here on BB last year! I want DP to see the horses, just so he knows exactly what I'm talking about so that he has a basis for yea or nay...
Mel - good to see you back on BB, I'm used to seeing you on FB and wasn't as astute as Tali to notice you hadn't been on here for a while! The muslins would be great - it's definitely muslin weather, huh? NY's sounds like it was ace - but it sounded like it was gonna be ace when you told us what your plans were Were none of you afraid of lightning strike??
Both kidlets asleep and I should make a start on some sewing before it gets too late. I had a horrid day yesterday and I can't believe how normal I feel today. DP reckons I've run myself down with too many late nights and sent me to bed early last night, so it must have helped!
Gonna go now to see about this sewing and to look over the Sect 32 I was sent about this other farm thingy Chat soon!
ETA: Wed next week no good - just got a new diary and entering dates into it, got an ABA thing on

Bath - have a ball at the Sebel and yes, it will be hot and you'll get plenty of use in the pool (pity you aren't staying till Monday, its going to be 41!).
Maya - yes, did think about lightening strikes, but nobody else seemed too! One of my friends DH is scared of storms. It was strange as I'm used to kids being scared but not adults and he wouldn't go in till the storm passed!! What breed are you checking out? Hope DP likes what he sees. Fingers crossed for your new property.
How about Thurs for a meet up? Its not going to be hot, about 23 I think?
Rory - could you "wag" work and join us????
I had to take Chelsea to the dr yesterday as she has this build up of wax in her ear. And it won't budge. Tried Waxol and various other drops but its not softening it enough. She is having trouble hearing so thought dr better look at it. Thankfully she can see to the ear drum and no infection which means she can still swim (one of the first questions she asked the dr!!!). But now she has to go to a ear, nose and throat specialist to have it removed!!! $150 for the visit and it will probably take him about 5 mins to get out. Dr had to ring around so many as they are all on holidays. I was tempted to try and get it out myself but its too far in and I don't want to damage her ears. She just wants it out.
I also went to the dr today for something I have been putting off for ages. I've had bad big toenails for a while now one is getting so painful I need to take panadol before bed to stop the pain. Its excruciating some nights. DH and other friends have been on my back to get them looked at and I finally did It appears I have a nasty fungal infection but they need to grow cultures to work out what which takes 4 weeks!!!! She gave me some antiobiotics which may alleviate some of the pain. I had to go to pathology to get clippings taken from both nails and scrapings. I nearly hit the roof when she tried to cut my sore one - Chelsea was with me so I cried "SHOOT" when she hurt me!!! Chelsea thought that was rather funny!!!! Then the treatment could take up to 12 months to work. The medication she wants me to have is really expensive, but I can get it on PBS if they can prove there is a fungus present. Then I can get it cheaper which is a relief if I have to be on it for 12 months!!! At least its something and my toes maybe on the road to recovery - fingers crossed!

must feel!
Maybe Warragul, maybe Bendigo, maybe someplace else.
as he knows I hate it and he isnt too fond of it himself, plus he is getting quite annoyed with his job, and is thinking of doing the course that will get him on the oil rigs, or a course that will get him to be a electirition ( as he is navy qualified but not civvy so needs to do a few more mods ), but all this is leading to us moving away from here, he has even been thinking about moving us back to Melb, ( will just have to get used to the cold weather and choose a house with better heating ) but I will not get my hopes up this is something he will have to decided himself as this is it we can keep movig around it cost us way too much plus Zayden will be in High school in 3 years
so he really needs to be settled for those final school years...
Sebel, you lucky girl! Sounds divine! Enjoy.
