They are going…

My babies clothes that is 🙁

Craig and I have decided 3 babies is what we are happy with, therefore, im selling all my kids clothes that no longer fit.

I have kept a few small outfits, id have kept the lot if it was practical, but its not the case.

Today ive bundled up 4 parcels to go to new owners, it was hard. It was sad. I am full of emotions from doing such a simple task.

One day maybe there will be another and we can start fresh, but i dont see that happening.

I still have alot more for sale, but no one seems to want to buy…good or bad..not sure!

We have a new….CAR!!

June 13th, 2010 Posted in Announcements

How on earth did i forget to post an update on the car scenario!!???

Well, as luck had it, last Sunday we hired a car and went car hunting (in the pouring rain mind you). Anyhow, we went over to Jefferson Ford in Mentone as they had a 2004 Ford Falcon BA XT (a car pretty much) in our price  range and acceptable kilometre range.

It was NICE….so, long story short, we bought it!!!

Lucky for us, the hire car had to be returned on Wednesday so Ford were able to deliver the car to us that afternoon.

Unlucky for us was the sales guy didn’t realise the heater hadn’t been fixed, so we had to take it back on Thursday. We now have a loan car until our newbie is back on the road…hopefully by late this coming week.

So anyhow, ive borrowed this pic off Car Sales where we originally found it. Once we get the car back ill take better pics 🙂

Yay for a treadmill

June 13th, 2010 Posted in Announcements

On Friday we had a treadmill delivered. We have only hired it for 4 weeks at the moment. I think we’ll extend the hire contract though.

Im loving it. First night i used it, i had speed of 3.5kpm for 15 mins. When i used it next i bumped it up to 4kph, incline of 2 and went for 20 mins.

Feeling really good using it. Hopefully it will help with the weight loss. So far ive lost 1.2kg. Whilst not alot, its a start all the same!

I have been doing a weight loss blog as well, but its not shared publically. Once ive lost all the kilos i need to, then i will share more journey…so yep…you will be waiting a LONG TIME!

UPDATE: The latest on Moodle mobile

June 4th, 2010 Posted in Announcements

Well today AAMI called us back with the final answer on our dearly beloved (erm….OK so we hated the car) bomb.

They decided it would not be a statutory write  off….but rather a repairable write off. So in blonde terms, they are going to fix it, and then it can be resold and will get a VIV number (similar to a VIN but it will appear on a write off record).

Good thing though, we still get our payout.

We had 2 options: Take the payout or get it repaired and keep it

Of course we chose the payout….we will be happy to part with the bomb.

The hunt for a new car continues…..SIGH 🙁

Farewell Moodle V2

June 3rd, 2010 Posted in Announcements

Well the day has come….our Moodle mobile went in for her bingle assessment…and FAILED.

Visual damage alone totalled $1900….then it would need a new tow bar ($600)…that’s without even looking under that car..

Apparently the damage to the rear was quite bad and the guy was surprised no one was hurt even though the other car was going at a fairly ok speed (so we guess more then 40kph like we guessed).

It screwed all the door frames, the boot was structurally damaged….

Over all….it was alot worse then we could see, and they said it wasn’t economical to fix.

We have our personalised plates still for the next car.

Our bomb has been written off and it now going to salvage land 🙁

Of course, Craig mis-understood the chick on the phone yesterday who said ‘Make sure there is 1/4 tank of fuel in the car…..for, ‘Make sure there is a FULL tank of fuel in the car’….so $45 lost on filling it up (when it didn’t need to be cos there was over a 1/4 tank left in the first place).

So now we must look for a new car ASAP…as we no longer own one….really great when you have 3 kids that need to get to school….to the shops…and for any other reason!

Always wrong…and can never do anything right…

June 1st, 2010 Posted in Announcements

So why am i always wrong…
Today being first of June i said we were half way through the year….but was corrected, we are not half way through until 1st July. Then i said its less then 6 months til Christmas…but was corrected that wouldnt 25th June be 6 months til Christmas.

So why cant i do anything right….
Last week i started my BL journey. Today was weigh in day and i lost….NOTHING. So why did i bother trying when i didnt loose a single gram????

For now, ill keep my trap just.

Out with the OLD…in with the NEW!

Today Cheyne bought us a new dryer…so nice and big too!!!
Its a 6.0kg dryer, sensor dry and has funky buttons 😀

This was because our old one was so broken and old. To the point where you had to sticky tape the door on when you needed to dry clothes!

Old dryer:

So cos Craig worked very hard while they were in America, he got a thank you gift….something we really needed and couldnt afford!!!!

New Dryer:
