it is raining bucketloads here. more rain than i've seen here all year.
Trill, yep that's the one, it's a bit embarrassing tho cos I go shopping there all the time and realise I'm wearing their clothes LOL. I like the sound of the camping, hope the weather turns right tho it's looking like it will be cold and yuck here too.
Ginger, we've had heaps of rain, the shed flooded a bit. :( I was too sick to care at the time so no doubt I'll be cranky when I investigate the damage.
I thought it would be the same one. I love going in there and being able to buy the smallest size in the shop :rofl: makes me feel so much better about myself. I'm in two minds about the camping mainly because of all the extra crap we'll have to take LOL.
G, you can send some rain my way.
trill- wish i could send you bucketloads of rain
everyone send me your non-rain-vibes for next sunday please
does anyone know where i can get a shaun the sheep figurine for lewis' cake?
G - I don't know about Shaun the Sheep, but you could use a Little People sheep.
md - that sux that you're not feeling great. I hope your feeling much better by the weekend.
Trill - will the whole family go to the party with you?
Clare - Leila is so clever being able to speak 2 languages. Glad you're having fun :)
oz - how very exciting!!! I can't wait to find out who tiniest Oz will be!
noni - I love Best & Less clothes for the kids. They seem to last the distance as well.
Ginger have you tried the ABC shop? Otherwise you could try the trick of sticking a picture on some cardboard, backing it with alfoil and slapping it on the cake (ice around the edge so you can't tell). I'm full of cheaty-birthday-cake tricks aren't I PMSL!
MamaPan is in da house!!!! thanks for naming me MD.
Ginger - no idea where you can get one (or who he is LOL!) But MDs ideas sound good to me...
btw have you been into MIMCO lately - they have a nappy bag there that i am coveting...
i thought you may like it too - though is exxy...
MD - nooo on the lurgy, i hope you dont have to postpone, though miss e wont mind i am sure..its been a year of postponed bday parties in your house this year.
Sherie - did you get any of the storms we had here the past few days? the party sounds like fun.
Katie - waaaaaaa hooooooooo on contractions... hope to not see you here early next week iykwim. what do tyou have planned for your romantic night? i wouldnt normally ask LOL bu since you shared info yest.... ha ha
Noni - i agree cotton on can be exxy for what it is sometimes too... but some of their stuff when on sale is bargain - like i got tshirts for N for $5 and $7.50.
we have a working bee this sat at the kindy so i am off to buy some plants for it... i am looking fwd to it, love how thekindy is such a 'community'.
saw fame at mums and bubs movie this mroning - was a bit disappointing.
i have made a standing arrangement now with my friend from school (who i bumped into at paed) to walk around the lake each monday morning. hope i will lose some weight from it and gainmotivation. though we made the plan while wolfing down muffins and lattes after the movies!
MamPan (love the new name btw) nothing special planned for my hot date, just dinner and then ice cream on the beach. Been so long since we a child free dinner. I tend to make all my exercise plans while stuffing my face lol.
Jaz loving your FB pics of H the cheeky monkey.
MD I hope you feel better real soon, what a shame if you have to cancel the party.
G send some rain our way, our grass is so nice and crunchy lol. I would try the ABC shop for Shaun the sheep.
Trill hopefully the weather is ok and you can camp. Would you have to take loads of stuff though?
No contractions or anything today but managed to get loads of housework done and watch Packed to the rafters. L should be awake soon so we might go play outside int he sunshine I think .
Mamapan - I think the name change is beautiful :) That's great that you have a walking buddy. I'm missing my daily walks with some of the mums from school.
Oz - I love Packed to the Rafters. Such a well written and acted Aussie drama.
We are all going and we are taking the kids bikes too - plus the big esky :rolleyes: chairs and if we do camp out the tent, plus sleeping gear for us all and clothes etc. I think it will just be too cold though.
G, I saw in the ABC shop ages ago that they had little Shaun the Sheep figurines.
PP, you can always have a skinny coffee and share your muffin with N ;)
i went to 2 different abc shops and couldn't find one..ggrrr
i like your idea md, but we're making a paddock cake so we were kinda hoping to stick a shaun in it iykwim? hhhmmm what to do????
mamapan- haven't been into mimco for ages. is it on the website? i'm wanting a storksak emily bag. a certain hot mumma by the name of angelina has one LOL
oz- date sounds lovely. i think it might be just the thing to get things moving LOL
i went to the playcentre today and ran into janie (sez). kinda cool seeing bb people out and about randomly.
dh is dying my hair tonight, wish me luck LOL
MamaPan - I love it!!! :D
Rainy is the party this Sunday or next Sunday? If it's next Sunday we can all keep an eye out and first person who spots a Shaun can post it to you!!! Otherwise you could get creative with some fondant???
have a ring around some bakeries that do cake orders as they may have a figurine
G - you could print out an image and laminate it (not sure if you have a laminator though - i got one for $30 from Woollies) put a toothpick on the back and stick it in the cake. If you don't have a laminator - i'm happy to do it for you and post it down.
I am the fondant queen at the moment, been working on flippin 'jup jup' for the past few days now lol. Ah well it will all be worth it. Must say MD that is an absolutely awesome idea WHY did I not think of that to begin with!? Ahhh! I guess you have more years of children's bday cake making experience than me hehe
MD - I hope you get better & you dont need to post pone the party :(
Just wanted to pop on for a quick 'hi', off to get ready for BEYONCE wooooo!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY JACK hope your day was wonderful
Happy bday Jack!!
Hi girls!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY JACK!!!!!
Oz: OOHhhh lovin the idea of those contractions! yipeeee!
MD: boo hoo on the not so good feelings. i am sure that it will pass before the party...with all those good energy vibes and healthy energies surrounding you ATM NUTTIN can get you down!
G: is the rain falling in melbourne inner too? egad. it all happens when we are away! dust storms and floods...how very apocalyptic LOL!
MM: i cant wait til i can FINALLY make DDs cake lol! only a month and a half late!
Mamapan: loving the name! it looks and sounds fantastic. i have visions of sexy elven women!
AFM: well i have been hit with tiredeness today. i think the adrenalin has worn off lol! but that said i did buy the coolest stroller for leila today. a little chicco runabout that is the most gorgeously bright sky blue. love it! have been enjoying the good and cheap coffee and the GELATO!!!!! mmmmm and soooo cheap! one waffle cone only costs AUD$1.60
tonight we will be hitting the shops for some retail therapy. i want to stock up on summer clothes for leila (they have sales ATM what with winter around the corner for them). and also, do want to buy a few wee things for me lol!
well shopping last night was a big success, well i hope it was haha only tmw will we know that for sure haha.. we bought her one of those motorbike look alike push along bikes from big w, she really loves her bike but is always complaining she cant get it going by herself yet (smart trike) and my dad has a motorbike she is very interested in so hopefully it will be a hit, we also got her a winnie the pooh tin that has 4 books which are a combination of colouring books and stories, 4 felt pens to colour with and a story cd, my nan and pop sent her $30 so with that we bought her this great itng set i found at target which had a bowl,cup,plate and bonus drink bottle for $20 which i know she will be very excited about and a hat with elmo on it because she really needed a new hat for summer.. then we got to the groceries to buy stuff for the cake and dh spotted a wot wots dvd so we bought that too haha.. we did pretty well tho only spent $55 and then the $30 she got given on presents all up which is quite controlled for us lol on a bit of a budget tho!!
gosh i realised this morning tho that i didnt buy eggs lol so i either have to con my mum into bringing some round or wait till dp gets home (around 6pm) to start the cake! how annoying!! ahhh well..
G - when do u need it by? have u looked at the online ABC shop? or on ebay? if not the printed version is a great idea or the little people sheep like someone else mentioned.. i love shaun the sheep!!
mamapan - love the name!! woot!!
md - wow some good cake ideas there :) how are you feeling now? any better? hope theres no damage in the shed from the water!!
hi to everyone else :)
Yeah when I saw it on the news I wondered how many end-of-the-worlders would be dusting off their signs LOL. Yay for cheap gelato (just the way it should be).:
how very apocalyptic LOL!
MM - oh I am sooo dead jealous - I *LOVE* beyonce (even tho I dont normally follow that kinda music) she is one awesome all singing all dancing power chick! You'll have to tell me how it went!
Noni - sounds like you're getting v. excited about A's birthday...she will be thrilled with those prezzies (esp the motorbike) & sounds like you've done well on your budget too. :) Bummer about forgetting eggs (there's always something isn't there).
Leanne - how are your sick chickies today?
AFM - still having symptoms (totally over getting up in the middle of the night for the coughing :() but feeling like my energy is finally starting to pick up a bit. Going shopping today to get the last of party bits & bobs - will decide tomorrow if we're postponing or not.
md - hope u dont have to postpone the party, ive been sick like that for ages, the middle of the night coughing is the worst!! yep am very excited about tmw lol.. mums husband is bringing eggs after he finishes work at around 3 lol may not be up all night making cake after all haha!! yep i am queen of forgetting things!! i also forgot wrapping paper and balloons lol but dh can get those tonight on his way home coz we dont need them till tmw..
Trill, lmao, looks like some of your topsoil has made its way over here! Did you say a while ago that A is a size 9 shoe? Jeepers he must have big feet!
MD, so glad you are starting to beat the bug. Hope you don't have to postpone the party.
Ozstar, I am soooo excited for you. How cool is it waking up in the morning wondering if today is the day you are going to meet your new bubba.
Ginger, I think of you every time I see Shaun the Sheep lol, how painful it must be to watch it as often as you do
Hi to everyone else, not finding much time to post lately
Can someone tell me if I am just hopped up on hormones or if I am actually insane but the other day at mothers group someone announced they were pregnant - I was holding a 12 day old baby and I was jealous! I am already thinking about next time even though we are only planning on having two...
hey everyone:)
humpty is finished.. have some pics up on fb.. bit unhappy with the mouth but otherwise its good..
worried about the weather tmw.. supposed to be windy..
Arte, yep, we couldn't get over to visit you ourselves so we thought we'd send a little bit of Oz over for ya! LOL And yes I think you are definitely hopped up on hormones LOL.
Noni - OMG that is one awesome Humpty cake! You must be soooo pleased (and excited about tomorrow!!!) :clap:
BTW - I got a parcel today from a mysterious "friend" - it's a gorgeous necklace with my girls names and their birthstone beads on there too - anyway I"m hoping it's one of you lovely ladies and not some random BB stalker I've picked up along the way LOL. So you better fess up...
AND while I'm at it...I *think* I've been RAK'd (no idea when)??? WHO DID THAT?
Geez Md - sounds like Christmas is coming early for you! Your present sounds lovely.
How are you feeling this evening, and how is sharing your home going?
noni - your cake is awesome! great job!
Arte - being pregnant is wonderful isn't it. I understand why you were feeling a little jealous, even though your beautiful bubba is so young. How is W going?
Happy Birthday Jack. :D
Humpty looks cool Noni, nice work!~ We're having a humpty cake too, but the WW one with a wall and humpty is an egg! I've made humpty and will make a cake tomorrow. We're going to pretend it's her birthday on Sunday!
Arte- i too was jealous of people who were about to have a baby or had a baby younger than mine. It was short lived and must be due to those hormones!!! I just enjoyed my labour so much that i wanted to do it again, so felt a bit jealous of women about to pop.
MD- Gee, i hope you're feeling better and the party goes ahead.
I've got a bit on atm, so not around as much as usual. Hope you'll all forgive me. :p
Lu is very excited about her birthday, she keeps opening a shoe box and looking all surprised at what she's just hidden in there. And says 'Happy birthday"........ lmao.
LOL Arte! Definitely the hormones! Well if you have my topsoil I hope you make good use of it over there :rofl: Nah, he's not in a 9 yet, but nearly in an 8! His sz 7 sandals for summer wont last the distance I don't think and I only just brought them.
Oh so you've only just noticed you were RAK'ed as well MD? ;) I'm glad that you're feeling a bit better though.
:rofl: at Lu Ange!!! That's hilarious. I hope she can maintain the surprise come her birthday LOL. I was just thinking of you today too and how I hadn't *seen* you for a while - great to know you're still alive!
arte- you have no idea how much shaun the sheep i have watched. i think i can recognise every episode ever made LOL
i get super jealous of pg people. i think it's because i know i'll never be pg again...boooo hoo
ange- that's so cute about lu and her birthday surprise.
md- that present sounds gorgeous.
Ok, well it wasn't a crazy stalker after all...but the mysterious friend is embarrassed about being thanked publicly so I'll leave it at that. You know who you are gorgeous lady, thanks!
Ange, I had that humpty cake when I turned three (and still remember it)!!! Best cake my mum ever made for me, tho one year she did this huge old lady who lived in a shoe extravanganza for my sister - but I think she popped a foofer valve or something making it cos that was the last decorative cake she *ever* made LOL
Ginger, never say never :hug:. I feel the same way about Pingu as you do about Shaun except we only have 1 DVD's worth so it's the same 6 eps over again...and again...and again! LOL How are things out on the mountain, still wet?
Thanks Jazah for asking how things are in the house, it's going quite well, it's a godsend having that caravan in the driveway. Tho poor DH is exhausted and needs a big rest & me being unwell while he cooks and cleans for everyone has not helped.
Trill I know I"m a bit embarrassed :redface: for not noticing earlier. I was prolly on post-gallbladder-ectomy drugs at the time...a pathetic excuse is better than none I guess:lol:
Anyone got exciting plans for the weekennd?
hello girls!
you're all probably in the land of zzzzz, but hey, now i have free reign mwah ha ha ha!
Arte: soo the hormones LOL!
Ange: i used to get so jealous of pg women and also younger babies too! i think it is the hormones...
Sherie: size 8! wow! i swear there are days when i think Leila will be in 4s forever LOL!
MD: no exciting plans here. DHs mum is having her birthday party tonight. its going to be awfully boring as her friends are all philosophers who dabble in medieval dance lol! egad.
G: ahh never say never! I was an oops baby!
Noni: hope Ashas party goes well tomorrow! i probably wont get on until later that night...so wishing you all the best!
AFM: all good here. spent the morning doing a wee bit of shopping for DD. have bought a couple of books in italian, some wall stickers for her room and a gorgeous little smock style dress for summer. of course i didnt buy anything for myself :rolleyes:. will have to do it though as i will regret it if i come back with nothing lol!
we are enjoying the warm summer weather i must say. and the long days of sunshine...ahhh cant wait for summer back home!
happy birthday asha!!!!
MD are you feeling better now? Will the party still go ahead (or have I missed thta above somewhere?)
Noni your cake looks awesome. Well done.
Clare I wanna come shopping in Italy lol. I hope that you have a glass of wine in your hand at some stage while you enjoy that sunshine.
Ange Lu is adorable!!
Arte I am sure it hormones lol. Mind you I am already sad that I wont have a giant bump soon. I am super excited to meet this little bundle though.
Hi to everyone else!!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY ASHA!!!! have a great day gorgeous girl
clare- you had better buy something for yourself while you're there. let me tell you, you are not missing anything weather-wise while you're there. it is 10degrees and pouring bucketloads. they are predicting a massive hail storm for this arvo when the grandfinal is on and the temp will drop to 5degrees....
md-glad you found out who your lovely present was from. it sounds so gorgeous. what does your dh think of all the people that love you from cyber-space? is he impressed that you've made an impression on so many people? i would be :) what's the latest on the status of the party?
oz- i'm so excited to see your birth announcement. have you guys got the name 100% sorted?
trill- i bought lewis a new pair of shoes this week and i had to get size 9! so A has got a big-footed friend LOL they are a little too big but the 8's were way too tight.
AFM- Ange and i met up at a diiferent playcentre yeaterday and the kids had lots of fun. jimmy had a big sleep while we were there so didn't get to spend much time with his gorgeous girlfriend Sas, so we''ll have to meet up again soon to keep the matchmaking happening i think LOL
G that weather is crazy!!! It isn't as warm here as it has been but it is no where near 5 degrees. We have a definite name for a boy (I think) and 2 for a girl, picking girls names is so much harder.
Clare-i am so jealous i can hardly bring myself to read your posts! Man i wish i was there eating and shopping too!!!
MD- It took me 3 nights make humpty. A lot of effort for a cake with no party. lmao. But he looks COOL.
Yep, i can confirm that Gingers little L has good sized feet, i can also confirm that his new shoes are ACE! Electric blue, i want some for me!!! ;)
Katie- I'm getting pretty excited to hear your BA too. I know i commented on FB, but that is seriously the coolest family pic i've ever seen. We're coming to the goldie one day just to get that shot done! DH's feet tell a good story too, they chopped his big toe off to replace his thumb, (that he chopped off!) So i think it would be cool. I think you should call your little girl Ginger!
Trill- i too laughed at the dust storm in the city. Thanks for thinking of me. :D xx
AND...... Happy birthday little ASHA!
Off to make the wall. ;)
Happy Birthday Asha!!!!! I hope your having a great day sweetie!
Ange, has he really got a toe for a thumb? I was up really late the other night and saw one of those 'amazing' medical shows and they did that for a fella too. Good luck with the cake making today too.
G it's really cold and windy here today too. We had another duststorm last night and every now and then it would rain so I have to clean the windows today because they look terible with the dust set on them from the rain.
Clare, my Niece is only just into a sz 5 and she will be 3 in January and she has such tiny little feet. My girls were like that too - they only needed a 5 for the length at this age but because DH and I both kindly passed on such wide feet they always need the next size up.
MD, I didn't want you to feel embarrassed :hug: I guess at the time you joined was the same time all the RAK was being done so it would have been easy to miss. That's so lovely for someone to send you such a gorgeous gift. Is the party still on for today?
Oh and I have to say HAPPY BIRTHDAY to Maddy for tomorrow because we will be out all day and I wont get a chance to say it tomorrow. So I hope you have a wonderful day precious girl!
Not much happening here today except for it being cold and windy and like I said above I will have to clean the outside windows because they are just filthy. I reckon it would have been worse last night than it was the other day for dust as it was a lot windier last night and there is a thicker layer of dust on the car today LOL. And I will have to get all the folding chairs out to see how dirty they are so we can take them tomorrow. Other than that I am hoping for an easy day curled up with my new Dan Brown.
Just jumping on to say Happy birthday little Asha Mashy moo!!! Hope you have a wonderful day and I bet you love all your pressies and the gorgeous cake Mummy baked for you!! :birthday2:
Also want to say a big Happy Birthday to Supa B's Tia!!!:birthday: Hope you're having a lovely day!
Still undecided about the party, feeling well enough to do it but DH has been coldy and the weather is going to be FOUL tomorrow...What to do???
Clare I was PMSL when I read about your DH's mum's party - sounds like my kinda scene (esp the medieval dancing ROFL)- does this mean you have to wear a pointy headdress with a scarf coming out the top?
Just popping on to say HAPPY BIRTHDAY ASHA!!!!
Noni the humpty dumpty cake looks so good, bet it tastes yumo too. Bet Asha was thrilled with it.
Must run, doing a million & one things today getting ready for M's bday tomorrow. So not having a party next yr lol
Happy Birthday Asha!!!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY ASHA!!! hope that you and your friends ate the cake so all the kings horses and all the kings men couldnt put humpty together again!
G: eeeeewwww! The weather sounds really foul. although i do love a good storm...
Oz: ha ha! i loved my bump too! felt really sad when i thought that it wouldnt last LOL!
MM: when is Ms party? tomorrow?
MD: thankfully no pointy hats but rather boring convos on the politics between rival medieval dance groups and their "bastardisation" of the dances LOL! i just decided to ply myself with the vino and eat until i fell asleep on the couch. it was hard pfffftttt lol!
Ange: trust me, i wouldnt be too jealous. the ILs are all mad. completley bonkers. so i try to go out often, little harder now with DD as she needs her sleep. but am def enjoying the wine and fine foods.
AFM: mmmm prosciuto! oh and the FIGS! they are so delectable! DHs dad has an olive grove and we went there today and i ate figs straight of the tree...the tree is like a century in the making so imagine!
the party was ok in the end. i just drank alot of wine and fell asleep LOL! today we are catching up with friends which should make things more fun (family can be soooo complicated...so not used to it anymore!)
A great big Happy Birthday to Asha! Hope you've all had a wonderful day Noni. :)
Clare - sounds like you're having a blast! all that yummy food and wine!
md - hope you're all feeling wonderful when you wake up in the morning :)
Trill - have fun at the party tomorrow. Hope the weather clears up.
G - did you find a Shaun?
