Bath it must be so hard to be watching her go though this stage, I hope you can work out what the best thing to do for her... but just remember there are dead **** boyfriends where ever you go, and taking her away from the situation might just make it worse, as she may get it in her haed to run away... for her this feels like LOVE and first love at that, she will have her blinkers on and think your just " out to get her" and dont understand what she is going though as you are old and have never felt like this about anyone... I am sure you have heard it all from her so dont intend on saying it again... I hope you can open her eyes enough so she can see him with a clear head....

But that said I have no idea what the right thing to do is... I am not looking forward to the fast aproching teen years...

Mel sounds like you had a wonderful birthday... what a great way to spend a birthday then eating chocolate with good friends... I might just have to look into doing that once I am back in Melbourne...

Nic you will be fine on your own, sounds like you are enjoying have the work to do... I have been a SAHM so long the thought of having to work scrares the crap out of me but know the day is fast aproching that I too will have to face the world of work again, not that I have any skills to do anything...

Not much happening here, I am in our new house, which is very small but has 4 bedrooms so cant complain too much, but the town! OMG it is sooooooo not me... there is nothing much here at all, the woman keep to themselves, and stick with the mine site that their DH works for, and as BHL is a contrator and not company they dont talk to me much at all, but it truth I havent tried I just can be bothered anymore, I dont want to try to make friends pretend that I like their town, when really all I am doing in counting down the days until we can get out of here, ever BHL who was saying before we moved her 2 years is now saying as soon as we have enough to get us a house deposit... so I am that is will only be a year but dont want my hopes up... on a good note though where he is working he has found out that the company works 7,7 and earns what he is on now, so if nothing else works he will just work for them when we move and FIFO from Melb...
Apart form that, the winkies have settled in well, but they always do, Kai is unwell so we havent really dont too much yet, but once she is better I am going to look at going to the gym as they have childcare, so will go there once a week and try to get my legs in better shape than they are now...
