The move is complete, my battles with Telstra are ongoing (whose aren't!?) and after a doozy of a meltdown in the REA's office - I have my bond back on the old house.
The girls are both loving the new house. I'm happy to have some places to put stuff.
We also now live near a park ;)
We now have a dishwasher, named "Emily" (It's got "Emilia" stamped on it, I'm guessing it's the brand but overheard Cooper telling Bailey that 'she' has a name, haha)
In other exciting news - Bailey now has an awesome pod/egg/swing chair - just need to work out how/where to hang it! I entered a FB competition and thanks to a computer glitch, a group of awesome people, and the generosity of EQUATOR Homewares, B has somewhere to go to chill out!We've also just started with an OT - B will have her initial appointment on Tuesday and I'm looking forward to working with her to (hopefully) get the monster on the road to a good start to school in 2013!
Cooper's showing signs of anxiety/depression, so off to the psych with her - can't blame her living with 2 quite unstable people! Poor kid is feeling quite awful and coming out with phrases such as "It feels like my whole family is dead" or "It's like everyone wants me to kill myself" ... for a generally-happy 5yo it's pretty concerning to be dealing with this stuff and I'm thinking it needs to be sorted out!
In more positive news! It's been birthday-central in these parts of late!
C&B were invited to a big sis/little sis party on Saturday, before heading to their Dad's place to celebrate his birthday...then back Sunday to celebrate MY birthday, before heading to Brissy with Daddy for another kiddy party. Add to that their own party on the 26th and you can imagine the excitement! B has requested a "rainbow party" and C wanted Katy Perry to come along (and um... do the face painting haha)
Does anyone have any party-related hints, tips, or DIY info they'd like to share? I'm thinking I need all the help I can get!
That chair looks brilliant. What a fabulous win.
ReplyDeleteThanks Marita ... It is certainly larger than expected lol
DeleteProbably a bit late now, but here are some fancy rainbow parties !!
ReplyDeleteMind you I can't bear to think of the impact of all that food colouring.
Have a fantastic day :-)
