Daily Chit Chat

I went to the tip shop and got a new helmet (Chloe), 3 interesting small boxes, 4 homemade hankerchief with embroidery for $5.50 and Chloe got a soccer ball, Taszo collection book and a japanese teddy (so cute) $2.50.

Took dad home helped my sister reconnect on Facebook and played with Coby

Visited Tash to get my Avon order and she had a few goodies for me Caron left a beautiful card and some embellishments for me

On the way home we could

Today went so fast I had so much to do since last week I only got the basics done cos of the sickness in the house.

I was naughty and on FB did 2 friday night sales on different website but so much cheaper even with postage and registered post included instead of going to Spotlight, Regal Craft and the other scrap mortar building I don't like the lady...So these Australian ladies have got my business, I was going to wait till then end of the month budget but I wee bit of a wind on something and thought why not I deserve it LOL

Arvo ladies spent a hectic day with my sister, nephew and dad...he had a good talking to the doctor and the doctor has said he needs to pull his pants we are all grieving for mum (went in with him this time).. his medication for depression has increased and the doc is organising with red cross to have a bus come to the house take a few people for an outing then lunch then they will drop dad back home....because as the doc said if he lays in bed every day he will waste away....and the warning was that if he refused to go on the bus the doc will get the health services in then dad will need to go into a home (I think the talking to was good as dad talked all the way back home in the car he normally doesn't say anything!!!)

So happy for you Julie great to see a straight talking dr. Hope your dad is out and about soon.

thank you

Sounds like you had a pretty busy weekend Mel.
We took our boys to Disney On Ice last week and they absolutely loved it. Our 5 year old kept asking if he could go on the ice too! Then we took the free tram ride around Melbourne and saw where the ice rink is, so we told them next time we go to Melbourne we might be able to go iceskating.

We are off to the cinema to watch Cars 2 tomorrow. 3 very excited boys are having trouble going to sleep tonight though. I was reminiscing with my friend that when we took our kids to see the original Cars, my almost 8 year old was only 3 and my 5 year old was about 6 months old and was in my sling the whole movie. Seems such a long time ago now!

Mel, I tried to look at your video but got the message "This video either has been removed from Facebook or is not visible due to privacy settings" If you haven't removed it, we may need to be added as friends to see it. Look for me on the S2P page and add me as a friend if you want.

We are heading across to Deni this week to look at rental houses, only 5 weeks to go before we move so I'm starting to get a bit panicked, but once we have housing sorted, I think I will feel much calmer.

hi i just changed the setting you should be able to see it now please let me know if u cant

disney on ice would of been so great to go to have a great time at the movies

i hope all goes well and u find you rental house soon

Thanks Mel! Fingers and toes crossed we get this house, as there is really nothing else that we like, or at least from the looks of the photos of them.
Steph looks like she had a great time. How did Anya go? The bar she was holding onto is a great idea. I guess it lets them get used to how it feels on ice before them having to work out balance as well.

My sore throat has turned into a voice that comes and goes
A filling came out have an appointment on the 29th July
Doctors apoointment tomorrow and I have a huge bruise on my back not sure how or when I got it

Came home unpacked groceries Chloe went to a friends place in the units laid on couch as I had a headache awoke not long ago went to unit to collect Chloe and apologised...Chloe and her son playing very quietly (he has aspergers) and she got to mow the lawns outside she is very grateful

Hey ladies, we went over to Deniliquin this week and we now have a house to move into! The town has only this year reopened a rice mill and just last month put on 30 new workers, so there is very few rentals available. The first house we looked through was absolutely filthy and so we were very discouraged, but we had been told to look into teacher housing by someone who knows of Steve's transfer and so we inquired about that and were accepted! We thought it may have taken forever to be told yes/no as it was a government dept and a Friday arvo, but they got back to us really quickly and it is so much cheaper than what we were expecting to have to pay. Plus they will let us into a 3 month contract with a view to extending it, if we havent been able to sell our house and buy another before the months. We thought we were close to the school here, (we walk through the police compound and then across the road) but we are even closer in our new house (just have to cross the road)! The boys are all excited about their new school which we got to have a good look at and meet the Principal and we have bought them their new uniforms. We also had a play at after school care which they will go to one afternoon a week, and looked through the long day care centre where Hamish will go. 4 weeks to go until Steve's transfer, so it is such a huge relief to have all these things worked out.

Congratulations Belinda thats a huge bonus and saving money too ..better with not far to walk to school either

Melody sounds like you was scrapping up a storm!

I went to kmart to buy 4 more scrapbooking albums, trousers and cards. Met a lady that was just getting into scrapbooking and wanted to know what she should start with so showed her the basics and then asked if I could call around tomorrow and show her the basics of scrapping

I must have made an inmpression didn't know her at all before but now I am getting my off cuts ready to go for tomorrow and she said if I was in trouble finding her place text her and she will wave to me from the sidelines

Went and saw the lady that I met in Kmart she has the knack with colours and she is a bit of hoarder so she says she won't need to outlay much on scrapping

New fridge arrived its amazing has a light inside the fridge (goes to show how old our other one was)

I am amongst pizza boxes and parcels not sure what is with Australia Post but I have got all my purchases off FB arrive together I am in LURVEEEEE

I am off to cook dinner beef green curry with asian noodles

Mel, that portrait pic of Steph is absolutely gorgeous! Would certainly make a lovely LO.

recovering from a 24 hour wog that i am sure was gastro

WOW WOW WOW

I got happy mail and everything absolutedly GORGEOUS...Sianne your so talented with the cute envelopes for the ATC's...I see christmas has approached onto our cards ...thank you for letting me know LOL
