I think I got scammed 2008-03-08 16:16:33 DS16: Mum, there’s something wrong with the modem
Me: My connection is working fine
DS16: That’s because your laptop is connected through the wireless router but mine is connected with a CAT5e and a blah blah blah
(this is where I phased out because it’s all mumbo jumbo to me)
Me: How much? *opening my purse*
DS16: How much you [...] Read more:think
More memory to scrap? 2008-03-08 16:15:42 I have been trying to organise all the photos I have saved on my laptop so I can start digital scrapbooking again. At the moment, my ‘pictures’ file is a mess and the OCD is kicking in so I need to organise it so it’s easy to find the photo that I want to scrap.

Designer jewellery 2008-03-07 19:21:49 I wear my wedding ring, engagement ring, eternity ring, two sets of earrings, a bracelet on each wrist and a belly button ring. I don’t like wearing necklaces because I don’t want the baby pulling on them. So when I was asked by aunt what I would like for my birthday I was tempted to [...] Read more:Designer

So many photos were taken but I’m only sharing a few with you The weather was perfect until the party had finished and we all went inside.

Drug rehab is the new black? 2008-03-13 16:13:22 It is such a shame that you can’t buy a magazine or newspaper without at least one story about a celebrity going into drug rehabilitation. But I was pleased to read that Lindsay Lohan is taking her problem seriously and is turning her life around.
My girls adore her. They love watching her movies but I [...]
Some people are just plain rude! 2008-03-12 17:56:50 Well that floored me!
As you know, we’ve recently celebrated some birthdays in the mummified household. Well, yesterday I received a phone call from a older friend, whose son happens to be my son’s godfather. Instead of saying hello when I answered the phone, she right away asked how come her grand-daughter (the godfather’s daughter, who [...] Read more:people

* yellow baseball cap
* white feather boa
* red felt
* two googly eyes
Did you guess what I’m making?!
It’s Easter
Hat Parade time and we got a note home from school that the parents need to help make the Easter hats this year. (Usually the kids make them in class, with the help of [...]
Happy 80th birthday, Dedo! 2008-03-15 20:06:55 My grandfather turned 80 yesterday! The whole family gathered at my grandparents’ home for a celebration. When asked what he wanted for his birthday, his wish was to have his entire family there and his wish came true!
My aunts, uncles and cousins came from Sydney, Canberra, Victoria and locally to help him celebrate his [...] Read more:Happy
Bad Timing 2008-03-15 01:46:23 Ah, it’s so nice to have some time to just sit down, relax and read some blogs. It doesn’t happen often so I’m not sure how long this is going to last but I’m enjoying it nonetheless. I have something like 863 posts waiting for me in my google reader so I might just slowly [...] Read more:Timing
Travelling cousins 2008-03-15 01:31:15 I’m so envious!
While at my grandparents’ house today, I heard that two of my cousins are planning a holiday overseas. I joined in the conversation just as they were discussing travel health insurance. This is the first time that they are travelling with their children, who are just toddlers, so they want to make sure [...] Read more:Travelling
Adding to my places to go list 2008-03-18 18:29:43 I’ve been armchair travelling again and have decided that I would love to take the family to New Zealand.
We’re all fans of the Lord Of The Rings Trilogy. It would be unreal to see where the movies were made and to see the little hobbit houses! Taking a day tour to see the beautiful [...]
Teens and mobile phones 2008-03-18 18:03:52 Our three older babes have mobile phones (cell phones, for you non-Aussies :P). They are not on contract but have prepaid accounts and the babes have to either earn the money to get credit for their phones or they use their birthday/Christmas money. I originally started buying them the smallest amount voucher each week or [...] Read more:Teens
Here you go….one Easter Hat! 2008-03-18 00:37:55 OK, so the Easter
Hat Parade is on Thursday and we’ve been working on DD7’s Easter Hat - which is going to be a chicken.
First of all, we bought a baseball cap. We looked for a plain yellow one but the closest we found was an Aussie one. We used yellow acrylic to paint the [...]
Popcorn! 2008-03-20 23:52:00 I was cleaning out our kitchen cupboards this morning and I found not one, but two popcorn machines! I have no idea where the other one had come from. I can not remember the last time we used a popcorn machine to make popcorn. I always buy microwave popcorn because it is quicker and less [...]
The baby got her ears pierced! 2008-03-19 21:30:28 We got the baby’s ears pierced on Tuesday. She got them done both at the same time and she nearly screamed the pharmacy down but as soon as she got a lollipop, she was fine…lol
It took me 2 days to get a half-decent photo of her ears!
Need advice about message in a bottle 2008-03-19 21:27:35 OK so I need some advice!
I bought these message in a bottle
invitations for DD7’s Pirate Party and inside each bottle is the invite, an eye patch, a pirate ring, a skull & cross bones sticker and a little satchel of sand.
Now, my question is this:
Do I empty the little satchet of sand into the [...]
How to stop the kids from bickering 2008-03-21 17:50:57 You wouldn’t think that you could hurt yourself on a mini trampoline, would you?
I was happily minding my own business, bouncing away to Gwen Stefani when two of my children started bickering in the hallway. I turned to tell them to quit it and somehow lost my footing, falling not so gracefully to the floor.
Yes, [...]
Upgrading our outdoor furniture 2008-03-21 17:50:40 I noticed in the junk mail that came today that outdoor
furniture is on sale at the hardware store.
We have one of those green plastic table and chair settings at the moment but I would love to get a bigger, wooden setting - with more chairs! When we’re all outside having a BBQ there’s no [...]
Parenting a teenage girl is hard 2008-03-21 17:49:49 Disclaimer before we start: I’m tired and I feel the need to ramble so if this post seems to be all over the place, I apologise.
My eldest daughter has just turned 15. It seems that all her friends have the same attitude that she has - that they can do whatever they want and curfews [...] Read more:Parenting

Not just a mum, but a plumber too! 2008-03-21 16:42:19 The one thing I don’t want to hear on a public holiday when it is going to cost a fortune to call in a tradesman (if they come out at all) is one of the kids saying “Oops!” and then “Mum, the bathroom fixtures have fallen off!” Rushing to the bathroom expecting the worst, I [...]
Step families 2008-03-24 18:17:39 My dad remarried after my mum passed away. So not only do I have a sister, but I also have a step-sister and step-brother.
It has been a tough 8 years or so trying to blend our families together. There has been a lot of frustration, arguments, falling outs, and hurtful words over the years.
My [...]
Birthday parties…how often? 2008-03-27 18:35:04 We don’t work on a set schedule as to which year the kids can have a birthday party with their friends. If we don’t plan one where their friends will be invited, we always do an afternoon tea with the family, or offer a “drop in” invitation for icecream and birthday cake.
We do of course [...] Read more:Birthday

Now I don’t have to….. 2008-03-27 00:52:49 ….tell him where to go!!
DH has been talking about getting a GPS device because with his job, he travels around the Sydney and South Coast area and often travels by himself. So I went online to do some shopping comparison in priced before we headed for the shopping centre.
I came across a site called [...]
The boy is allowed to drive! 2008-03-26 04:04:11 DS16 passed his drive
r’s knowledge test today which means he is a learner driver! I’m so proud of him! He came out of the examination area and gave me a double thumbs up with a huge grin on his face…Wow, my first born is now legally old enough to start driving!
So instead of heading home, [...]
I’m sorry 2008-03-26 02:24:07 In regards to my “step families” post, I want to say thank you to everyone who commented. I have decided to password protect it because I didn’t want it to become a word war.
I found how easy it is for words to be taken the wrong way and how quickly things can get out of [...] Read more:sorry
