Yay! Babies!! I told you we should start a thread showing off the forum bubs!

Congratulations again Richmond!!! My brother and his wife broke that rule too, but only to family. They told at 7 weeks.

All very exciting though. THe first Versace grandchild! yay!!! Mine will be the second…
Not that I’m pregnant though.

Geez, I’ve just looked at the time! I’d better get moving off to school. LAST DAY TODAY!!! Woohoo!!!!

P.s remember I’m in WA, 3 hours behind….

If she can look after a dog, a kid will be no probs… The dog you have to exercise, a kid, they just run around in circles.

A dog you have to feed every day, a kid can get to an age where they can eventually feed themselves…

Hee hee… Yeah, you go home and be a house dad. I am fully prepared after a year or two to swap with my husband so…[Read more]

Hee hee hee…. Sigh… Geo, you always crack me up…

Michael,
It is so funny that your wife reckons she hasn’t got a maternal bone in her body! Every woman has the maternal instinct, some a little more developed than others. My point is, she needs to change her opinion of herself before she has a child. If she continually thinks she’s not maternal, than she will not act maternal. But if she is…[Read more]

Richmond, I’m not digging at you mate, I’m just saying that there definitely is a characteristical laziness within certain generations. I’m just shit stirring really to see what reactions I get!!! Hee hee….

I don’t doubt that there are people out there dedicated to their children and wanting to stay home and have budgeted accordingly. I take…[Read more]

Hey resiwealth! I am a SHE not a HE!!!

Someone said something about why 1976 is the cut off for generation x, well I don’t know why. I was born in 1978 and was always under teh belief that Generation X went throught to 1980.

I’m actually not sure I even believe in Generation Y… The generation after me (My brothers age group, 18) should be…[Read more]

I dunno about the whole thing. I am apparently a generation Y, as generation x finished in 1976? Is that correct? THe funny thing is, that I sense people around my age and a little bit younger are going back to old fashioned values. More and more people from 23-29 are getting married and I really sense that these people are committing…[Read more]

Well Si,
If you develop the land, you gotta wait for the house to be built. I dunno about down that way, but up here in Geraldton, builders are booked up for the next two years. They wont even look at your plans.

So maybe that’s a hurdle for you too. Finding a builder. Plus the bricks…(There is a major brick shortage in WA)

There is not…[Read more]

Awww Richmond!!! Congratulations on 1st year!! My other half and I are coming up to our third in January and we are thankful for each other every day. Even those days we are ready to kill each other, a second thought always comes to my head, “He might be pissing me off now, but what would it really be like without…[Read more]

Hee hee Geo… I found out the cockroach one is pretty true! We had this corker of a cocky in our toilet and I managed to stun it with the bottle of DUCK, when the next blow took its head clean off. Body laid on its back with legs going madly. (This was late at night…)

Next day, went to the loo, sure enough, cockroachs legs still powering on…[Read more]

Cremin and I sacrificed our family, friends and general comfort zone to get our foot on the property ladder. Now that we’ve made the step, it’s no looking back baby!!!

Time really isn’t an issue for us right now. We sacrifice a lot in the way of socialising. We limit ourselves to say, one big night a month, and even then we only really drink…[Read more]

Nice thread Yack.

Well, I think Cremin and I had a seriously productive year. Certainly the best year we’ve had in a long time.

1. We moved towns. From Perth to Geraldton so we could settle down after a long time travelling and generally being undecided with our future.
2. We scored jobs which service our means and we enjoy them at the same…[Read more]

Oh I’ve similar experience Live!!

Hubby’s mum rang right at the critical moment and he picked up the phone puffing. She questioned why puffing, me cacking myself in the background listening to him explain he had ran from down the back to get the phone. Hee heee….

I don’t know that there are many baby boomers doing the sea change thing in WA. There is a certain number of them, but I think there is a big shift in the young population as they go and search for the by-the-sea life.

Hubby and I did it as we couldn’t see that buying a house in PErth by the ocean was anywhere near affordabale or in a suburb we…[Read more]

Layby. Makes you think about if you really want it or NEED it, then makes you budget it out over a period of time. The good thing is, if you change your mind you only lose a few dollars!

We layby things we would like and pay them off at about $20 a week and it’s like your birthday when you pick it up. EXCITING! Bigger items well, they just…[Read more]

I love annoying the crap out of fast drivers like that!! IT is a little scary though on the trip down to Perth when a big semi comes hurtling up to your behind and there’s on coming traffic…. Ohh….quiver… Makes me nervous thinking about it now…

Umm… Things that annoy me.. well now, where do I start?…

When you put your singlasses or…[Read more]

Not a bad idea about the car. But like everyone said, you can still get a nice car for around the $5K mark. The bum has fallen out of the second hand car market and you can get some really good bargains out there. The only thing I have to say (and this really comes from my dad, a mechanic) is buy a car that looks nice and has a neat and tidy…[Read more]
