Oct/Nov 2008 mommies!

heloooooooo friends

so we back in one piece and the holiday was nice the weather was shiiiiiite we oly had one day sunshine and one swim but hey u cant order these things

also some bad luck got speeding fine on way driving 154 so gray area to jail or not so bribed R500 instead as the fine said R2500 or jail for over 153 so didnt want to risk taking the fine

also they robbed us while in swimmig pool must have been gardner or kids as took weirdest things - R400 from a wallet but not wallet - 2 cartons of siggies a push camera my laptop but it only works as plug in so not really phased and my bag of chargers which is slep - but luckily didnt see my nikon (was in baby blanket) and the camcorder underneath it also left glasses and watch and dvd's and luckily my handbag was out of sight with R5000 cash in - sucks but what can one do

Hi Ladies

So you don't even want to know how much more pi$$ed off I am now, I went back to the labour centre this morning and my employers STILL haven't filled out the forms correctly, I told the lady in accounts that I needed this one form (as that's what they told me when I went on Wednesday) and she was adamant that no I don't need to worry about that. Needless to say I was right and she was wrong so I queued for an and a half just to be sent away again, I was hopping mad by the end of it, I was shaking I'm so angry about the whole thing but I want to cry at the same time because its just the last thing I need, I really felt like I could have everything done by today and that I can really start to relax, instead I have to go back to the $hitty labour centre on Monday to submit the papers. I filled everything out for her and emailed it so all she has to do was sign and stamp it but jeez she's the accountant I've done ALL the work. And for a stupid damn company that aren't even paying me ML now

Sadly there is nothing about maternity in my contract, the old boss was just a decent human being and knows that its pretty damn difficult to survive on what UIF pay out and understands that we're a young family starting out. The son and nephew are just selfish I suppose. Its really upset me though and his attitude is just like oh well, sorry for you. It just sucks because if they'd paid me half salary and then with what I'd get from UIF we'd only be a little bit short so it would be manageable to forego a few luxuries for the four months leave, I've stocked up on lots of things but now that we're only going to get what UIF pays out it means we're going to be quite a lot short when it comes to covering all the medical bills.

Yoza - Congrats on Buhle crawling Can't believe how quickly she's growing up!!

Ara - I'm with Simone - 4cms?! Wow that is a lot of growing hehe

Anyways, I must be off, I've been typing this for nearly 2 hours I think hehe!

Hope you all have a lovely weekend, Ally and Nicole enjoy your parties

Yoza your kiddo's sound so adorable. Enjoy your day at the beach.

Julz why so busy.

Hope everyone has great parties tomorrow and all the birthday boys/girls have a ball. Wishing for great weather all round. And really looking forward to the party pics.

Been quiet here today. Hope it means everyone is well and that the preggy mommies are relaxing. Helen please let us know if anything at all happens this weekend. Vix like Lelani said 'keep those leg's crossed hun'.

Have a great weekend everyone else. Chat on Monday.

Zee good luck with birthday party. have you got anything in mind yet?

Ladies enjoy all the kiddies parties this weekend! Cant wait for the pics;-)

Lelani...please email me your address by Monday (I leave for CT monday night so wont have internet access) so I can search for maps and put it into my gps...lol. You should see all my maps I've printed out! Sometimes my GPS takes so long to get started so i just wanted to be on the safe side knowing where I'm going;-)

HI ladies

So much to catch up on but I will have to comment later as I am having a hectic day. x

Afternoon ladies

Yoza sounds like Buhle is doing well! Congrats mama!

Lelani...I'm getting tired just reading about your weekend!!! WOW!! BUSY BUSY!! I loved the pic you posted on forum..lol. How fast did you have to grab your camera???

Lisha thanks for well wishes for my cuz. She is doing well and she is surprised that the caesar was not that bad.

Ara congrats on the walking! Every little bit helps;-) Ethan grew 4cms???WOW!! He sounds cute with his scooter!

Helen that is TERRIBLE! I mean I'm sure you assumed all the way through that you would be getting 50%...so definately throws a dent in your budget to find this out now

Morning ladies

helen: OMW it really sucks that you will not get money whilst on maternity leave. Is that even legal. hugs to you dear

Vix: Oh! no re trampoline and I saw the advert on TV last night thought about you.

Ara: Ethan really does sound cute maybe he should teach siba how to ride a scooter. Oh good luck on the exercise and healthy eating


Lelani: enjoy the wedding.


I am so chuffed the physio was teaching buhle how to crawl yesterday and she was doing all these exrecise with her. My lil angel was having a ball I come back and piwe says looks like Adri (pysio) really wants to be around next year cause whatever she did with buhle helped. My baby is crawling yipeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!! Its so funny I dont think she is even aware of what she is doing. And to top it of she said mama this morning. i only get that from siba once every three months.

As for Siba he is sleeping so well at 3am last night he was singing in his sleep must have been one nice dream he was having his feet were even moving

Oh hectic weekend. Piwe is off and were going to Hout Bay beach tomorrow. Oh Im looking forward to that.
