Morning Ladies


Simone good luck with the interview!!!

Helen my friend got so annoyed with doctors especailly when they said grommets were needed that she took her kid to a homeopath gp. She never looked back. His ears cleared. The important thing to remember with homeopathy is that it takes a bit longer but it really deals with the cause so good luck. If there is just fluid then this is certainly the best route to follow for now. x

mandy I replied to your message. Thanks. xxx

Your sister is going through so much at the moment. She must just want to move on I guess which is understandable. Wow on the business woman of the year applicaiton. That is awesome!!! As for cam, he will settle down i am sure. Some kids are just really rough and Dylan also gets stroppy and pushy at times.

Lelani the more I think about this the more I am worried about you and your situation. We will have a good talk next weekend at my house. Hugs to you .xx

Lisha saw the pics on fb on the trampoline. Looks like fun.


AFM Can't believe this bronchitis is taking so long to go away. It doesn't help that we are all sick and probably passing germs back and forth. Well dylan is okay for now, but Neil is home now. Dylan slept well last night thankfully and came to our bed this morning at 5 but went back to sleep until 7 which is amazing. I think he wakes up so early because Neil does. Damn. Got a busy day ahead today. Chat later ladies.

Hi ladies,

i have been hesitating to post for some time now, and eventually thought I should, so here I am...

Simone and Mandy congratulations on your pregnancies, all the best...

Zee I am so sorry for what Z is going thru at school, I also believe that u shud trust ur instincts, will the day mother take her back if it doesnt work out????

Lelanie dont even know what to say wish I could just hug u, what ur going thru is a lot for a person to handle I am sorry my dear, I pray that u find the right solution for u and family...lots of love

PFairy I also applied for the Unabridged BC and never recieved any SMS but I called the HO in pretoria and they told me that my certificate was ready fro collection at my regional office...so why dont u call them

Lisha when are u leaving? hope Shrey adjust well my friend holding up thumbs for u..

Helen hope Nina gets better

To all the ladies who dug me out, I am so grateful and u know who u are, God bless u

I was not too sure as to wherether i still fit in into this group or not since i had been absent for such a long time, I felt a bit left out, like I no longer belonged here, no one said anything its just a feeling I had.

As for me, well I am no longer leaving as was scheduled, apparently, there is no 'budget' for my position at the Mission, now u wonder how come head office didnt know about this, now my post will only be available in Dec when a colleague in my rank is coming back, but even that is no longer guaranteed cos the HR Director has not written this down as confirmation and in my line of work verbal commitment doesnt work one needs a written one, now my gut tells me that the position is now eyed for someone else and they will break it to me towards Dec just as they did two weeks before I was to leave.


for me it was never about Washington I just need to go where ever where my child will be catered for medically and make money come back buy a house and car, get a good school for my child thats it.

Amo is great talking a lot still using nappies, he is so comfortable in them, Amo poos and doesnt even say anything, I mean I will only tell by the smell otherwise, he continues his business with poo, I am taking him to daycare soon hope he settles cos I am moving out of my granny's house and we will be there alone with no support system whatsoever.

Sorry for such a long post.

morning girls

you guys are really such awesome friends!!!!
Thank you so much for not judging & for being so caring xxx

mandy, that's my biggest worry.....i dont really know if things will get more stable rhen now, & after easter with everyone talking to m about how he yreats c, even his own mom, it just confirmed my thought that he feels there is nothing wrong he actually got quite upset with his mom & sister just because they asked him to not scream at her grrrrr

now i know that i also sometimes scream & loose my temper with the kids, but afterwards i feel like shit about it, where he just feels that he hasn't done anything wrong i'm so frustrated because i dont want to say something about it to him, coz then we'll just have a fight again & then c feels that it's her fault

sorry girls....there i go again....all about me

mandy, hope you're sisters ex moves out soon!!!!
Can just imagine what a relieve it will be for her & then she can start healing xxx
congrats on her nomination!!!!!

hope you all have a super day xxxx

AFM - I enjoyed our holiday in PE, Cameron is a very loving and happy little boy, but boy is he trying to assert himself ! He is quite aggressive and doesnt realise his own strength! This combined with his little cousins stubborness ( Mia is 7 months older so she is 3 now) .. and the two of them have such an absolute love hate relationship. So while cameron is starting to be happy to play without me, if he has someone else to play with, if it is someone his own age or thereabouts, it is a constant war! luckily the biting has stopped ( I HOPE) but he pinches, smacks, kicks, pushes and is generally rough! So I felt like a warden alot.. I think it was good for me to see him in action for me to help him get over it.. I think part of it is his personality. He is an extrovert and wants to be the centre of attention, but he has to be taught to tone it down and respect others!!!!! so there was a lot of teaching going on!! His cousins love him dearly and they all had a ball having said that! When Cameron went to hug Mia goodbye she said, NOOOOOO, I dont LIKKKKKKEEE YOUUUU!! but then as we walked away she said MOMMY where are they going and Jen said Joburg and she siad, Mommy I dont want Cameron to go back to Joburg!!

Hello Gals

Firstly Lelani - my heart goes out to you. What a difficult place for you to be in. You are feeling like Chanel needs to know about her real Dad, but my thought is that something like that can only happen in a loving and caring and STABLE enviroment.. so yes, I agree that your aim should be to investigate telling her but only after you and Marius are feeling strong and happy and when you get Marius to realise that Chanel needs him in a different capacity, and perhaps someone needs to define for him what that could be and what you want it to be before you can really have a solid idea of how to explain this to Chanel for maximum acceptance. I also think that your fisrt priority is finding the RIGHT therapist. Sometimes you meet with one that you dont feel is right, and since you know Marius will be difficult its going to be a good idea to research who you should see and then see them alone first. You are very brave for facing your fears and please know that it is your nurturing, loving self that wants to bring peace to all and that is awesome. One day at a time and a little rescue remedy each day.. Only you will know if the timing is right for Chanel

Simone good luck for your interview!!! and sorry you didnt get to start aqua arobics as per your facebook status last night!

Helen - the homeopath sounds interesting! Holding thumbs that it works.. how wonderful to find a cheaper less chemical filled med.. if it does the trick that would be great!

Nicole - the fire engine at the school sounds AWESOME!'

Ally - how exciting about Penguin.. you know my thoughts, they would be lucky to have you on-board!

Julz - sent you a msg on facebook, did you get it? How are you, didnt you say you were still feeling quite sick last week? and so you tried to have a calm week end?

So my sister is doing okay.. she is quite relieved that she will get some sort of resolution in her life with him moving out.. we just all wander if he will actually move out - as he has no where to go and no money to do it. The two of them signed that he would move out this week end and that she would pay him out so that she doesnt have to sell the house.. so if he doesnt move out, she can change the settlement amount etc but she really just wants it to happen now.. She is holding herself together but she has a lot of deep seeded anger in what has happened to her and her children understandible and I know she cant worry about herself while all of this is pending.. she has to focus on the kids stability and emotions - but each day for me is a day closer to her being happier and being able to get on with her new life with a new hope.. which she so deparately needs!!

In the midst of all this, my sister has been shortlisted for Business Woman of the Year and had her panel interview on monday which she feels went well. She did previously call them to pull out, but they insisted that she had a great chance and they wouldnt have it!! She just amazes me She has also just taken over as National Ops Director for her company so they have added CPT and JHB onto her plate to manage!! with no increase yet.. but in the hopes that it will mean a large increase in the next few months..

okay this post is getting too long.. see what happens when i am not here for 5 days

Helen hope the homeopathic stuff works for Nina xxx

Simone keeping fx for the job interview xxx

Nicole aww man K is too precious. Can picture him squealing because they want to get him off the truck lol. Definitely sounds like a lovely school.

Nicole thanks for the info on eggs. I had to giggle at the image of K being dragged off the firetruck!!!!!!!!! ha ha ha ha

Sounds like a great place:-)

Did you and DH make up?
