just a bit of a rave..

Hi,
Just popping in to say hi.. I don't seem to get here as much as i would like to. I know i will kick myself later on, way down the track when i want to check on things and ive been so slack & not been in here...

Baby is going well, but i guess i don't really say much in here about that either, slack-arse mum i am. But baby does have his/her own blog, so that gets more attention than here... *ooppss*

House is slowly coming on..
Its hard to believe that a little bit of rain (well, it wasn't a little bit) could do so much damage and cause so much stress..
The boys room has been gutted & lined. Brendan is up to the painting side of it, only just sealed it this week, but thats a start.
Went up & pick the carpet out this morning and thats now on order.
Built-in has been measured & quoted and that has been ordered too..
THANK GOODNESS for insurance is all i can say..................
i know we have had to wait well over 4mths for it all to get started and i have had so many problems with the house & stress from it all (plus with the baby too), at least i am grateful that it has started.
The area was so badly damaged here & around us, that some people still don't have homes to go to. I have never seen such rain/damage in all of my life (& neither has alot of older people around us) and i never want to see it again.
I have got some photos of the walls in the boys room (not of the actuall flood, :o( ) but im at work at the moment, so if i remember, i'll share them..

Our old fence was ripped out & down today, BOY what a big job that was. The new one comes on Monday & Tuesday, yippppeeeeee..

Im still stressing myself out about the whole house thing and hoping everything falls into place for when the baby arrives, but theres nothing i can do about that really.. But in true form of me, i can't stop the stressing...
I don't have a 'baby checkup' till the 16th of this month, so i need to try & stop my worry.. Hopefully when we go for that checkup i'll get to book in for another scan, as Cheryl wants me to have a 'growth scan' to make sure everything is ok (cause of the tablets i take, but shhhhhhhhh don't tell her, i didn't have to have these scans with Tay, Dan or Jordi..lol..)

Oh & im 25wks & 1 day today......... :o)

We got some bad news today... My nan found out today she has Ovarian Cancer. I still don't think its sunk in properly yet. She's been sick for a little while now & waiting on the test results, plus she has Macular Degeneration (which she's had for ages/a couple of years) so that doesn't help her much. But her news isn't very good. They are booking her into hospital straight away and will then look when they get in, to see if it has spread at all??
Its all a bit worrying too, as my mum had Cervical Cancer when she was 33, twice. So its something that is going to have to be always looked into & after..

Anyhow im raving now, sorry bout that..

I went with the guys from the office today to buy plates & cutlery etc. for our new kitchen here at work. We will probably be spending about $20,000. just on that sort of thing. We are getting 700 of each size plate & folk/knife/spoon, etc. Then there's the pots & pans, carving knives, utensils, etc.. You don't realise how much there is actually to buy when starting up something like this.. Even though we already have everything. We are still buying EVERYTHING brand new, as we want to impress with a clean, fresh new start. Spending 2 million dollars, we hope to impress.. lol

Well i best go, only an hour before i can go home..
have a great weekend
love Peta..xx
