Hi you all,
I just came off the phone... I was talking to Vodacom... 2 months and my debitorder did not go off. I spoke to them regading that, and they had a problem with my account details. Anyway that was fixed(1st month) 2nd month - they cant tell me what happened. I spoke to them on the 1st of June. They then told me that they will re-run the d/o on the 6. Ok today os the 7th, and it did not go off. Phoned them again. Then they said, my numer will be suspended if they don't get payment today.... They never phoned me or tell me that there is a problem. I was the one who contacted them. Anyways, then the lady got really nasty to me. Well luckily it is sorted now and account paid in full (manually)

I know I must just relax, but blikskottel.

We had a lovely day! Went to Jungle Junkies to play! Luwan was enjoying himself and had a ball!!! Then I went to the shops - I'm looking for a maternity costume... Ai, but it is winter in jhb.... No swimming wear in the shops.... But I ordered 1 via internet! Hope to receive it in a weeks time.

The swimming was cancelled this morning because the water is still to cold, but is getting warmer! Hopefully by Friday we will go swim again! Luwan miss the water!!

Lizel - sjoe R750 vir 'n koek? Hel maar dit is baie! Hierdie jaar sal ek maar my eie babking skills moet uitprobeer, want Leon se Tannie wat koeke bak is oorsee. Sy kom eers iewers in Augustus terug. Dankie vir jou input oor die naam! Albert is ook 'n opsie!

Marijke - bly om te sien dit gaan goed met jou!

Hi Vision, Nadia, Justine, Deja, Adele, Nayeela, MariB ((Ek hou ook nog die eeste van Edrich) Ek hoop so ek kan wen! )

Sorry if I missed anyone! Was reading the posts, but ai, this porridge brain is driving me crazy!!!

Hello

I just went shopping..didn't buy much, just a cheapy frame (Renier's Father's day pressie..cheapy because he made a point of telling me that he doesn't believe in these special days )

Haha..I'm so childish when I've got PMS

Vision..the Aero didn't help much..I'm 100% sure Aero's used to be much nicer back in the day! I should have bought a Top Deck Cadbury slab..YUM

Migs doesn't eat ANY sauce. (my fault..I never gave her tomato sauce or mayo!)

Marijke my pa-hulle het ook 'n baie aggressiewe labrador gehad, hy was glad nie aggressief met ons nie, maar het glad nie geblaf nie..net gebyt!! Hy't een keer 'n ou se arm (wat oor ons heining geklim het) gebyt en HY WOU NIE LOS NIE. My pa moes die hond se bek oopdwing. Die ander labrador wat ons gehad het was die liefde vanself, het vir almal gelek!

I tried the whole Puma-under-feet thing..it didn't work for Mig's wet cough? Glad that it worked for B though!

Sumaya, did I miss a video you posted? I also wanna hear twinkle twinkle!

Nadia LOL @ L who loves choc mousse

Sjoe Lizel, R750 klink vir my na 'n GROOT rip-off? Kan hul jou 'n foto wys van hoe die koek gaan lyk?
Watter tipe dokter wil nie vir 'n kind 'n stokkielekker gee nie???
Jip, ons kom volgende naweek deur. Vlieg die Vrydag op, en die Maandag terug. Gaan ons bymekaar kom?

Sorry for cutting my previous post short. The 'boss' came in and looked over my shoulder as I typed.... grrr!

Welcome back Adele and it's a pleasure, just sorry that I sometimes forget to send you messages.

Thanks to those keeping up to date with me every once in a while via bbm. Don't know why life suddenly got so hectic!

En Marib, ek moet nog vir jou ook terug antwoord 'n slag, moenie dink ek het van jou vergeet nie

About the dog thing. We must have the most aggressive Labrador ever. She hates people, i swear. Had a lot of problems with her and women especially but she LOVES Bianca, they play so nicely together, bianca is the only one that can get the ball out of her mouth without a fight. And she's an over the top watch dog. Hubby had a boerboel growing up, massive thing but gentle as can be. If you've ever watched Dog whisperer you'll know that it's not the dog but the owner hey!

Which makes me wonder since dogs and kids are much the same, whether it's not the child but the parents....thinking here about our own situation with B the last couple of weeks and sleep. The last week or so she's spent more hours sleeping in our bed than her 'whole' life combined. We have stopped TV from 6pm but she goes days without watching anything from the time she gets home.

I've had a lot of moments the last couple of weeks where I stood racking my brain and the only thing I'd come up with (and I told my mother this) "I DON'T REMEMBER READING ANYTHING ABOUT THIS IN A PARENTING BOOK!!!!" Like the day B's cousin Ben didn't want to get out of our car and B didn't let him get out. I was like: Do we take him home with us and the two toddlers win? Do we put our foot down and throw the child out of our car, but I've never even spent any time alone with him so I don't even really know my own nephew. Anyway, bloody books!

Hubby read 'parenting' advice on his 4x4 forum. B's had a cough now for 3 or 4 nights, a dry bark cough and someone on their forum said vicks under the feet when they go to bed. Lo and behold it actually worked, not one single cough last night!

Vision: B likes the idea behind the tomato sauce but doesn't want to eat it! And send some of your baking this way, then you don't have to eat alone.

Lizel: Damn, send some clothes this way!! I don't know what it is but for this season I've been seriously slacking. The school sent me a note the other day if I could please pack extra clothes to school. I told the lady, I'm sorry really I am but the child only has 5 outfits, so no, washing once a week is fine! I really don't want more laundry. I don't even need her cupboard anymore, the summer clothes are still inside so I never open it. I'm getting seriously behind!

Justine, dit is so cute van Jaydon en sy stink broodjie! Sweet man, hy raak nou groot, maatjies is belangrik, wil hulle nie wegjaag met stink broodjies nie!

Lonie, hope you slapped the doctor! Really, antibiotics for a tummy bug? Good thing you know better.

Sumaya: Had to listen to Zia singing twinkle twinkle little star again, it's just TOO adorable.

Jana: I must have missed a post about work, your boss still being difficult? fill me in or just BBM me later. Thanks for the late night chat the other day

Elrike: hoop jou rug pyn word gou beter. Die swem in die winter klink my maar bietjie koud, maar Luwan klink asof hy eendag ons nuwe Ryk Neethling gaan wees.

Claire: Is colby still as chubby as he was as a baby? You need to post a pic so we can see what he looks like now.

Sorry about the rest, I'm trying to catch up but I have to go get B from school now. Strange I miss her but when we get home I always think I should have left her there for a little longer But no, she's actually very well behaved (except at night) so can't complain!

I know I missed, Nayeela, Nadia, Charlene (although we keep in contact and I still owe her a message) and binks (hope you and hubby are enjoying him being home!) ah yes and skitter! (I knew I was missing someone!)

Adele...welcome back am really hoping that your photgraphy business becomes a huge success...

Justine...had to laugh at Jaydon and the stinky bread! Most cute

Nayeela...not entirely sure what I want for Laeeq's birthday yet..still thinking about it!! He loves teletubbies tho so am probably going to go with that...

Lizel...I honestly would blow the bank every month if I had a girl baby!! I would be broke broke broke LOL

Vision...L has not discovered tomato sauce yet but last night he discovered chocolate mousse

Adele I am so happy you are back to chat! Keep positive. Your photos are great.

Lizel I saw yoga pants at woolies yesterday - they were black. They are in the tracksuit sections. Dont worry I also spend way toooo much money on clothes for Bekah when she has lots already. And shoes - that is my weakness!!! Where did you go shopping?

Lonie you are clued up on all things related to food hey? Does it put you off food at all?

Marib - dont feel guilty if it makes you feel better. When I have pms I eat lots of chocolate and it works better than any painkiller Winter is the worst for washing clothes etc. it takes so much longer.

I picked up 2kgs cause I was baking so much and eating all my baking so now I am trying to eat healthy again but it is sooooo cold to be eating salad

Do your little ones like tomatoe sauce. Bekah wants tomatoe sauce with everything!!! She shouts at me for "sauce" when I give her the food

Justine I was just about to say he must have got a hectic smell when he opened his lunch box but egg mayo is yummy.
I understand you with the travelling. I found offices close to home and it is so much better!

ok good so I am not so terrible not wanting a 2nd child some days!

Lizel, my honest opinion, I think R750 is a rip off for a cake.
With all the parties I have had the most expensive I paid was R250 and that was for a 3D cars cake. It was enough to serve 30 portions and had the yummy filling.
