Gosh Hamilton isn't far from us, what about Hubby though? Or the distance won't phase either of you?

I'm jealous, wish I was escaping the mad rush at Xmas (although truth be told prob just as bad in aussie during the xmas season).

DP got me a new bed yesterday, he's picking it up the day after we move. My current Queen is COVERED in mould/mildew and so damp when you touch it so I have to dispose of it, don't wanna be taking it with us to the next place and still having the same health problems. Apparently the bed is an early xmas present/ a present to ourselves as it will be 'our' bed when we eventually move in together one day lol! Always gotta be an incentive with these males...

He will come with me, he isn't going to go back into the Army now.

I am going to look at other places as well, but Hamilton and Wellington are the first 2 I will look at. I like hamilton it isn't too far from Auckland but still far enough away for DH. Who knows I may get the job after all.

DP's parents are buying a house in Cambridge and moving there in the new year, and depending on how things pan out we may look at moving down that way too. I don't think Cambridge is far from Hamilton ...but don't quote me on that, have only been out of Auckland twice in my whole 22 years of existance ...and that was to Rotorua lol!!!

His Mum is constantly going on about how nice and lovely Cambridge is, nice little township and how she can't wait to retire there, lots of craft markets and cafes etc, sounds nice and relaxing. Auckland is highly overated and so bloody expensive! I think renting down those ways is relatively cheap in comparison too, I'm paying $280 p/week at the new place (and the old one) ...and both are tiny 2 bedroom units, with very small sections.

Best of luck with the jobs you're applying for! What line of work will your DH go into if he's not returning to the Army?

Thank, I have no idea what he will do, but if I stay here he may return to the books and study how knows.

Cambridge is lovely been there a number of times (well passed through).

Wow you pay more a week than I do a fortnight here in Waiouru, but then again a lot of people do.

I spoke with my current mananger and he was surprised when I asked him to be a referee for a job I have applied for in Trentham.

So we are moving from Waiouru, but back to Palmy. DH got a job down there and starts in 2 weeks. We are looking at moving down at the end of March so Andrew will only end up missing 1 week of school.

But today is 2 little people's birthday. Miss Charlotte and Mr Joshua. This time 3 years ago he was almost out of me (born 7.08pm), had a party yesterday for him with his friend Grayson and today as we had a power cut we didn't do much. Once the power was back on he spoke to the family.

Josh was measured and weighed last week at the dr's 104cm and 18kgs well of the scale for his age.

Sorry Belated Happy Birthday To Josh & Charley from us!

I got an odd message on here from someone asking me who out of the March Mums had blacklisted me ....im not overly sure what they were on about, hence why I came to see what was going down ...but alas I am still NONE the wiser?!?!?

Very odd.

Good idea on the chipmunks [party, always better when you're not left with the mess of it all. I'm just doing a small family gathering at our place for L, he hasn't had a party yet so it will be a nice change for him.

What are you all getting your kids for their 3rd birthdays?

?????? Steph? No idea why or what blacklisting?

Charly had a great birthday party, we had a freind with a huge blow up councy slide that you can attach a hose into and make it a boucy water slide... kids LOVED it! I made a heart cake and cupcakes. She is still coming back down to earth!

WE got her a barbie kitchen, a barbie jeep, she got some barbie jewellery, a barbie, clothes, pj's all sorts really! Was going to get her a bike, but changed my mind as she isn't really!

Haven't weighed or measured her yet, will go to plunket in a few weeks, she is about 11.5 kgs I guess, toilet trained, but not at night yet and has just begun at pre school (kindy)

Busy! but love it!!

Will keep an eye out for Ellas JK!!!

I have no idea why or blacklisting either Steph, sounds very random.

We got Josh a fishing rod, Thomas book and shorts and a shirt. He got cars and books and clothes from other people as well.

Just wanted to stop in and say Happy Birthday to Ella for yesterday! Judging by the photos on FB she's had a lovely B'day weekend!

Just over two weeks till its our turn here, I'm doing a mini birthday party for L with just my parents, bro, Nana, best friend & her partner and another good friend of mine. Was going to extend it to my aunties and dads family etc, but I know that they'll complain and claim I'm only inviting them to get a present out of them (that's what they did when my cousin threw her 1yo a party recently) so i'll abandon that idea. The kids got far too many toys as it is!

So know what you mean about overload of toys Ro, we're in a 2 bedroom unit and seriously, his room is full at the seams, as is my garage, my bedroom and the lounge is ALWAYS trashed with toys everywhere. The only time i can see my floor is when he's asleep and I get a chance to clean and put them away. I'm really starting to resent myself for going overboard when he was younger!

So do I have to ring Plunket to organize the 3yo check up? Coz if the past is anything to go by, i'll never hear from them otherwise...

Had the cutest moment today, left little man for literally 1-2 minutes in the car whilst I grabbed something inside. Brother & I return to find him with my Kit Kat Chunky bar in hand, half demolished, choc smeared all over his face, wrapper on the floor. And before I even got the chance to say anything he pipes up with a mouth full of chocolate 'I was just opening your chocolate bar for you Mummy, sorry'. Lol.

Awww how cute Steph.

Well I am going to ring Plunket here and see if I can get Josh seen if not I will see if our nurse will see him before we leave Waiouru.

Jish finishes DC this week here in Waiouru and has 4 weeks before he starts his new one in Palmy. Getting sorted for our move back home - both boys are looking forward to it now they know what is happening.

Well we have just come back from the specialist and in 3 weeks Josh is getting his tonsillis and adenoids out and grommets put back in.

Josh has had sleep apenea since he was 1 and his snoring is beyond normal. He checked his ears out today and I knew 1 grommet was out already as I have it, but he has fluid in that ear again so in they go again!!!

Looking forward to the surgery for Josh cos at least it will help with a few things Josh has at the moment and the adenoids coming out will hopefully stop the constant runny nose too.

Josh is loving his new preschool. Whenever I drop him off he goes in sits at the table has his yoghurt for breakfast and I say goodbye give hima kiss and a cuddle and he waves bye to me no problems. I love his focus teacher he has she is wonderful with him and the rest of the teachers are great too. They said Josh just fitted in really well.

I am enjoying my job - loving the internet at my desk, rather than having to go to another room to use it!!! I am liking the responsiblity I have been given and so far seem to be proving myself as my boss is impressed with what I have achieved so far.

Thats cool about your job, Becks.
Hope the surgery goes well for Josh. Good to hear he's settling in at pre school well. It makes things soo much easier, eh?
I'm thinking about leaving MH after almost 7 years. I only do casual work, but seem to be getting rostered on for more and more work and more and more weekends which I really really don't want to do as its all day. Rod plays golf and it means I don't get to see him really if I work a weekend day and if its a saturday I need to find a sitter for Charly while Rod coaches Jakes Rugby. Am so unhappy. Our new manager in training is a guy and hes a real blowhard. Everything that comes out his mouth is bullsh*t and lies and he is soo patronising. The other day he told me off for merchandising stock, because apaprently I wouldn't know how to do that. WTF buddy, I have been there for almost 7 bloody years. I feel a bit torn cos I love the manager, I consider her a good friend, however I feel a bit taken advantage of cos she knows I find it hard to say no to her in terms of work, and I know shes stressed out cos staff are dropping like flies and positions are hard to fill wiht peole wioth the right calibre, but in reality I really only want about 8 to 10 hours a week. Argh. Oooh big rant.
I had to fight and argue and swing a favour inthe end to get Charly seen by plunket as apparently they don't do 3 year old checks any more unless you are "at risk" (read young, poor, single or brown). I am at risk of bloody hurting her, so I told them that. She is very very naughty. She is soo stubborn and will not budge an inch over anything and its hard hard work. I resent her often becasue she is such hard work., She argues and backchats and just will not do a damn thing. When shes good, she is oh so good,but unfortunately she is not good alot!!! I have been given a referal to barnardoes to find out some ways of dealing with her.
Her eyesight I picked up is ot good and we saw a specialist who only checked her eyes to humour me as apparently he dosen't like seeing kids under 4 because they don't follow instructions (you are telling me, buddy!) Turned out she has astignatism (I felt like saying to the Dr IN YOUR FACE OLD MAN!) and she has glasses now and has had them for a week and I noticed the difference immediately.
She weighs about 12.5 kilos and has really filled out. Probably more now, she never stops eating. Has 3 huge bowls of cereal a breakfast and hungry an hour later! Making up for lost time. She is 92 cm, so still little, and still looks petite and still very very cute, which is her saving grace.
Am going to get her hearing checked next as she speaks very very loudly and alaways says what? You have to talk loud to her too....mind you I yell at her alot too, so maybe she's not used to normal volume, lol.
She still gets very sick, catches everything going, but remains happy most of the time. Love pre school and heading towards night time dry, too. Loves drawing and her dolls and cuddles, and since getting her glasses has become very good at puzzles! Very musical like her brother. Comes out with some very very funny sayings. At times a real delight! Am dreading teen years if this is anything to go by!
Wow a novel and a big old Rant!!!!

It'll be all good though, Becks, and lucky he's not apprehensive!
Just found out yesterday that lil miss has glue ear, so we will be heading down that road too, i guess.
Enjoying the new job?

I am loving the new job, they have given me flexi hours to work in with the boys so it is great.

Surgery went well, however they discovered Josh has the chicken pox during the surgery. When we got to thearte the anethatis(sp?) noticed he had a scratch on his chest, and I hadn't noticed it. They must have looked some more to find spots on his arms and tummy. Surgery was finished and he was confined to the room for the rest of the hosptial stay. We are at day 3 and the pain is kicking in and the not eating and drinking as well.

Recovery nurses thought I was a nurse as I was so relaxed seeing my child wake after the op and I knew about the drugs he was being given, but when it is general number 4 for your children you get kinda used to it all. And it helps I have a friend who is a ICU nurse and I helped her study for her drug exam I learnt a few things too.
