Oct/Nov 2008 mommies!

Hi ladies

Lisha dstv is torturing us cause still not off! Finale of jerseylicious tonight...so maybe they know I really really wanna watch it! Lol

So glad your gran is doing better! Seems she is improving daily!

I think all the kids are feisty now that they suffer from verbal diahorrea! Lol

Nelria...bible study was once off...mom's rotating. Ttc was chatting there, but taking a break from there now.I think they prefer it as well due to the 'controversy' with one of their friends.you've missed too many posts for me to fill u in!lol Yay on lea and the bed! And read on fb Xen is skydiving?? Lol

Vix you're gonna be an aunt! Exciting!!! Congrats to your sister:-)

Helen the bugs won't leave your kids hey? Shame man...hope Oliver doesn't get too sick:-( keep us updated re: Nina!

Nicole still waiting for that influx of tips?lol *cheeky aren't I??* house sounds like a bargain! I hope we'll snap up a bargain when we can afford to buy!

Lelani...grrr at Chanel giving u hard time...eish...these kids! I saw with my 13yr old cousin on Sunday...moaned to make tea for her mom...I said how can u say no?? They'll only know when they're moms themselves what they put us through....whether lying, sneaking out, not listening, bad grades/not studying or not wanting to make us a cup of tea!!...makes me so anxious!

Afm...I'm well. On healthy eating plan and dropped 1kg last week. Addy well...but came to our bed this morning...wants to sleep on my pillow...got annoyed and kinda shoved her..she kinda slept with 1 eye open after that..moaned for her dad (he was studying at 5am in lounge). When he came into room 1hr later she immediately said: mummy cross with me! (And we'd been playing and fine...but she remembered!lol. Little tattle tail!)

Getting closer to G leaving:-( we're in like a honeymoon stage now...always flirting and touching...its nice. Gonna miss him soooooooooo much!

Vix my campaign manager...do u like that title?? Lol. You and Mandy deserve advertising fees!

Mandy how is Cam doing? U said last week he was coughing? And your sister? Is she holding up?

Hi ladies

Lisha i am so pleased to hear that your grans health is improving

Vix congrats to your sister!! Im sure she must be very happy

Ally sounds like you are going to be super busy!! ever since i saw your braai post i am dying for mielieas on the braai!!!!!!

Lelani good to hear from you, sorry to hear that Chanel is still giving you a hard time when it comes to homework.

Nelria you are right re: property prices, the house we bought they initially wanted R980,000.00, we bought it at R860,000.00, And its a big house with a stunning garden.

Julz glad you are having a good time and that Neil and Dylan are doing well.

afu, we are doing well, adapting to the new way of things, only problem is im home alone with K when it is supper making time which makes it difficult so lately have really being preparing quicky and simple meals.

K is being oh so cute and now calls DH "love" - copying what i call dh,lol so it's very cute. He seems to be doing really well at school which makes me happy. Every morning he ask "where is ceaser" which is the dogs name that is at the creche, such a friendly cute dog.

Lately i have only being having time for one posts. Hope everyone has a lovely day.

Morning ladies

Ally sounds like you will be very busy in CT, hope you have fun though.

Simone how was Addy without her DSTV? Sorry about not being too successful with the class but sure it will go better next time practice makes perfect lol.

Lelani hope they call you soon, must be so anxious just waiting.

Julz sounds like you're really going to be exhausted when you get back. Oh yes if you get a chance taste the breyani in Hyderabad - it's made differently to the one's we make in SA - very yummy. Pleased to hear Dylan & Neil are coping well.

Nelria congrats on Lea progressing to the big bed

Helen so pleased Nina is feeling better, hope Oliver follows suit soon. Good luck at HA today.

Vix wooohoo on your sisters pregnancy. Is she younger than you? Wish her a healthy and easy pregnancy. Your mum will be so excited at the thought of another grandchild

Nothing much to report here. Shrey is being very cute these days and talking up a storm as are all the other kids I'm sure. Also very feisty and wants what he wants but we don't give him too often.

My gran has really improved in a matter of days. She's starting to sound a lot more like her old self over the phone. Guess her brain just needs time to heal from the trauma of the stroke. But she's getting there so we're happy for now.

Helen- Good luck at HA! The telephones are out of order at my one so they tell me if I wasn't to find out is my PR is ready I must go down there. Mmmmm yeah right with twins...... Still trying to figure out how that's gonna work because that place is a nightmare.

Lwasi- how are you applications coming along? How is Amo's tummy now?

Julz- you're going to be exhausted by the time you get back by the sound of it. I hope you get a few days off.

Jessica- Brilliant! Then I get to meet Riley Roo! Yeah we can do coffee in that cafe again and then go head into the expo. C will be at school so I'll just have the tweenies. I hope they have space in their for the double pram cos I don't really want to carry one baba all morning. Well if not it'll be a lesson for L&L, in fact I may just send them a message for their organisers to make sure a double pram fits, it is a baby expo after all! Will be bad planning on their part if not

I think we decided the next meet would be at Christi's new house! But I am just waiting for her to let me know if 2nd April in the afternoon works for her? Christi? Because she can only do sat afternoons or sundays and I personally prefer sat afternoon. And I will already be in Krugersdorp with DH for my photoshoot in the morning so I personally would prefer that day cos then I have somewhere to feed the tweenies before the long drive home again.

Zee- how's the MS?

My sister is pregnant. She hasn't told anyone yet cos she'll only be about 5w but it's the weirdest thing to me right now. Funny hey? Just knowing what pregnancy and motherhood does to a woman it seems weird that my sister will go through it now.

Julz, I arrive on Sunday at 09h00 and leave on Tuesday at 20h00. Lunch at 13h00 on Sunday at La Mouette, then family obligations that night. Shooting all day Monday. Possible breakfast with food editor from Taste Magazine Tuesday morning then lunch at El Burro at 13h00. VERY busy again.

Hellooooo!

Sorry no time for a proper post, soooo busy at the mo!

Thanks for all the support re Nina, I'm still hoping there'll be nothing wrong but the sooner it get detected the better if there is something wrong with her hips. I've since found out that 2 of my cousins had to have braces/ops/harness etc because of dislocated hips so it may be something hereditary. FX it isn't anything serious though and that it doesn't need treatment - I'm forever the optimist!

Nina is better thank goodness, she's starting to look like she's ready for solids, she's drinking almost a litre of formula a day so I think I've got maybe a week before she starts asking for more, I had to start Oliver at 15 weeks because the formula wasn't enough and it looks like Nina might be the same, I was really hoping she would go on much longer, I can't be bothered with the hassle of solids lol! Hopefully its just a growth spurt and she'll calm down for at least another month. When I went to the paed she weighs in at 6.7kg and she's very tall - 63cm!

Oliver is great although he's caught another cold, I don't know where he gets these things from, I imagine it would be even worse if he was in creche!

I have to go to Home Affairs tomorrow morning (in central Joburg bleugh), MIL is coming to watch the kids, man I hate Home Affairs we're have to leave at 5.30am cos you have to be standing in the queue before they open if you don't want to be there all day, dreading it!

Anyways, apologies I don't have time for replies today. Have I missed any talk of a meet...? I think its about time we got together again

ok thats weird post from last night not here grrrrrrrrr

wantted to say to pfairy - u can add 10 drops of teatree oil to mia's shampoo (preventive for lice) also u et something called placenta a purple spray bottle R85-R100 from hairdressers and barbers it stimulates growth (awsome for bald men) u add 5 drops tea tree oil to this and spray on hair after wash as treatment also preventive

then mandy - remember selling in down market also means buying in down market so same same as upmarket (only less available) i mean look at us now sold 790 instead of 900 but bought for 850 instead of 1.2 so win win also u can advertise on private property (R1000 for 6mnths) then show yourself save 5% sold and bought from there so no agents involved in either for me

simone - teaching? ttc thread? i seem to miss some posts?

vix - its super cool re more time i love lea at school and would not survive any other way

juls - what is macaroon?

nicole - any way dh can switch back?

afm - lea in big bed went by herself brett implemented seems he is hitting all the big milestones lol
