Here's our family car. We've also got some motorbikes in the shed :thumbup:

Hmm there was a lot of crazes I went through when I was younger. Most of them make me shudder. Beauty and the Beast collectible cards Barbie Baby born Polly Pockets My little pony club checkered jackets 10 times too big for you Tamagotchi Yo yos Tazos Marbles Hanson & Savage Garden Hounddog tshirts

Hiya I'm looking for a sig. I don't know much about sig making so the best I can do for you is describe what I'm looking for. I'm looking for a glittery sig with yellow butterflies and somewhere in there "dream believe achieve" is written.

I agree we had an awesome firefighter teach us our current first aid certificates. Normally costs around 300 or so dollars from Saint Johns but he only charged us 80 for the both of us. He was also out there fixing all the storm damage for free while the rest of the fire fighters were rallying about pay salary increase. That's dedication :thumbup:

I don't mind the idea. But at the same time that would just take away the uniqueness of some posters. Let's face it... some people just wouldn't be who they are if they could spell everything correctly. The reason why I wouldn't mind it though is because I have an automatic American one on mine so half the time I type in American spelling, the other half in Australian. It probably confuses the hell out of people. It confuses the hell out of me.

It's all good we've worked things out, I just needed to have a whinge. Once I get this shop up and running will be back to my old self again. Hopefully lol :lol:

The pee in the bottle thing reminded me of something really mean that I did to another student that I didn't like when I was in grade 6. I had a cupcake that I took to primary school for recess on a Friday and forgot about it. Monday I was sick, then Tuesday I came back to school and lifted my desk lid up, underneath was sitting a very moldy blue iced cupcake. This guy named Leon (some guy who used to annoy the f'n crap out of me... shaved his arms and legs constantly talked about the Titanic and Leonardo Dicaprio) wouldn't stop following me around so I offered him some cake. I picked off the moldy bits and watched him eat it all :lol:

My partner gets that a lot too being from an IT background. We can't go anywhere without him being asked to fix a computer, a tv or something similar. Don't worry what everyone else thinks, you can make a lot of money from it :D What do you like best about computers?

I'd like to agree but I did let out a little smirk. William Hung was pretty amusing to watch.

Depending on how fast the train is traveling, throwing rocks isn't going to be of much assistance. Also, I don't know many people who can throw rocks 100 m away... As much as I don't want to interfere with the shhing and putting dummies in babies mouth to quieten them, if you had a baby you'd understand that they can do two things at once. Have the dummy in their mouth and still scream! lol I'd also beg to differ that most of you would smother your own child. You'll know exactly what I mean when you have kids. And to those who seriously think they would, don't have children. Especially the person with the mentality that he and his wife can just make another one. Children aren't objects.

Today was awesome. I managed to score a designer dress (Charlie Brown) from $312.00 down to $112.00. Then I got to hang out with Brent's aunty. Does anybody else find it hard to walk past the puppies and kittens in the pet shop without wanting to take them home :lol: I also just found out that my cousin arrived in Brissy this morning so we're going to have to go out on the town this weekend. I knew the dress I wanted was on sale for a reason :lol:

Hmm I'd have to say I'm liking L0rd since I've come back :lol: I think he knows why.

This is probably a little too personal but are you going to meet the donor one day? You don't need to answer that if you don't want to. I was watching something on tv the other day about kids meeting their donor parents so figured I would ask.

Today I am headed in to the city to splurge out on the gift vouchers we got for chrissy. Tomorrow is a very special day for me though my best friends mum is coming down to see our son for the first time since he was born. She's probably one of the most special people in my life. When my best friend passed away I promised to look after his family until the day I die and so I have.

Send me some, please? :) I went skiing for a few hours and have just been laying around since. What do you eat on your favourite pizza? lol

Quantum physics is probably one of my most favourite topics :thumbup:

Haha nice one Lat, I saved it to the computer. Psychology and physics will always interest me the most though :D

Today I am doing nothing special just the shopping and then maybe make a home made pizza for dinner :D

Once again thanks a lot you have given me a new perspective, one that I'm definitely going to put in to practice. And we're currently living somewhere where we have a lot of neighbours so I'm going to give it a crack :D Knowing that I have some extra company might just put me in a better mood and for all I know maybe that's why he is avoiding me at the moment. You've made me very happy :D

Thanks a lot for that ging. A couple of new things have come to surface so I will deal with them and see if that solves anything. So far we have established that his parents have put away a trust fund and promised if we don't touch it that they will keep adding moolah in there for when we want to buy a house. Apparently this is the reason for the toggle code because he doesn't want to risk anything. His reasons for me not having a toggle code of my own is the fact that I'm very forgetful and lose something daily. So I guess that is true but now our issue is why he didn't tell me about this sooner and why he kept it from me. We've also established that he is saving for something. He said he is being anal about money because he wants to help me open my shop so I can do what I want to do. That is a nice deed but I really don't want to chew my arm off before we get there so I've suggested on getting a job and a percentage of that will be our going out money whether he likes it or not. I've also explained that if I got my cross trainer that it would kill a lot of OCD urges to go out because I can focus my energy compulsions on something useful like getting back in to shape and losing the horrible pregnancy weight. As being fit was a way that has always worked for me in the past. So he has promised next pay day on the 15th he will buy one for me. Another issue I didn't think about was the fact that he grew up with his grandparents because his parents were always workaholics. I think he is scared that if we take Raiden to his nanna and grandad's house for the day or for a few hours that we're missing out on precious time with our son. While that is admirable a house mum needs to get away from a screaming baby for her own sanity and it is very important for both partners to have some alone time for romance, time alone etc So the problem I face now is why he hid money from me. Dishonesty pisses me off more than being stingy lol hiimben Thanks for your post. You make it sound like I don't want to take my son to the beach or to the park. Firstly the beach is a half hour drive away and my fiance' takes our car so I can't get there. Secondly we live next door to a park and we go there most days and it is nice to get out for a little while but we can't be out there too long because of the QLD heatwaves. My friends also don't live close by and my closest friends such as Rick lives almost 2 hours away by car. I am also the only person in my circle of friends who has a baby. My friends are very career orientated and have jobs that require them most days of the week. One thing I will take from that however is maybe looking for local baby groups in my area and other mothers to socialize with. So thanks for writing that. As for the finances thing Brent has always been this way. You would have to know him to understand how he is. It is fine and dandy to have an improved future. But is it really an improved future if you've put so much time and energy in to saving that your partner is officially bored out of her brain and the pair of you are growing a part because of it? It also doesn't cost money to take me to the beach or to look around the mall. However it is nice to go to dinner or to watch a movie every month or so. One thing I will take from that is the fact that maybe money isn't the real issue. Perhaps the real issue is he wont invest any time and effort in to our relationship anymore. I don't have bipolar I was misdiagnosed from social anxiety. You probably didn't know this but please lose the label. As for sleeping in - No I'm pretty positive it's because of boredom. But once again referring to your first paragraph I have decided to make some new friends around the area to overcome this. Thanks for your perspective it means a lot to me and perhaps you're on to something more. But I would just like to point out that my true friends on here aren't scared to call a spade a spade. If Ginger thought I was being an [wagon] he'd let me know and that's why I like him. Nobody is really helping anybody if you don't tell the truth. Thanks again for your perspective I have taken a lot from it.

You would love this new Zombie shop on the Sunshine Coast. On Christmas they had this Zombie dummy on the top of the roof looking like it had just crawled through the roof of the car wearing a Christmas hat :lol: Next time we drive past I'll look up the name. My partner also has a crazy obsession with zombie movies and books if you're after a few titles I can forward them on for ya.

To persuade my partner to be more lenient with our money and to pay off the cross trainer I want so I can get fit again and feel good about myself. That and to be a good mum. My biggest new years resolution is to buy the things that I need for my shop before I open it. Then the new years resolution to that would be for my shop to be successful :?

Oh by the way I don't know if I would want to stay any specific age... I'm pretty happy growing older and learning more as I go along. I wouldn't want to be younger because I was put through a lot of abuse, I wouldn't like to be a teenager because when you're an adult you realize just how screwed up some teenagers are. In my life experience life has only gotten better with age so I'm quite happy to age gracefully.

Today I had a pretty bad fight with my fiance'. I've been a stay at home mum now since my son was born and it's really emotionally draining to look at 4 walls all day and house work can also be one of the most depressing things known to man. You do the dishes, then look over and they're back again. You do the washing then you turn around and there's another load to be done. Guys, if you ever live with a woman never tell her that being a stay at home mum isn't hard work. I assure you that studying a full time degree and working 50 hours that week is nothing compared to being a stay at home mum. It's also emotionally draining on the basis that I feel like I am "stuck" because I'm so used to being a workaholic. I do try to tell myself that I'm doing the right thing by spending the first 6 months of my sons life raising him at home but then when my fiance' has 6 days off and just wants to sit down and relax it makes me mad. I can see that he works long shifts and obviously deserves a bit of a rest but I'm not here to clean up after him 24/7 and look at 4 walls every day. It would be nice if he took me out to nice places and leave my son with our parents for a lousy hour to get out of the house. He does eventually give in and take me out but the problem is I shouldn't have to ask. I feel like because I have his kid and big rock on my finger that says I'm committed to him that he no longer has to make an effort with me. He says he is concerned about our finances but to be honest we probably have more than most couples in their early 20's. And he always says the same thing... several thousand later he still needs to save and tells me to wait, then when we reach that target and I finally feel like we can go out or get something that we want, he says it's still not enough. So I wait, several thousand later... and it continues. He is so concerned about money that he no longer wants to have any fun in life and lately I have been pretty depressed because I am trapped in this house. It's so easy to have your own account and do whatever you want with your money but it's another thing when you have joint finances and have to ask permission. I'm getting pretty angry about it. I don't feel like I should have to ask for credit for my phone considering we don't have a house phone, to go out and have a bit of a life some weekends or transfer some money across so I can get some food for lunch/dinner. He is so obsessed with our money that everything is in our savings account and he will only transfer the exact amount that he requires at one time. Not only that I don't have access to our account unless I ask him what our toggle code is because he is the only one who has it. So yet again every time I need to use some of our money I need to ask. God this really pisses me off. I have tried talking to him about it for months but he is being so stubborn about it and insisting we need limits. It really is taking a toll on me and I don't know what else to do. I am sick of fighting about money and I sick of being with a stingy partner who doesn't want to have any fun in life. Don't worry I'm not planning on getting married until all this crap is worked out lol But yeah I needed to get this off my chest because it is quite upsetting and I don't get to go out much so I can't talk to my friends and family about it. It is really affecting a lot of things, it is making me feel depressed, it is making me feel less satisfaction in life, it is making me feel less inclined to talk to him, our intellectual conversations have stopped, our connection is slipping, I don't like to be around him as often, I lose my temper quickly and I have been questioning whether or not I am engaged to the right person. As a result of this, I sleep in most days because a large part of sleeping too much is not knowing what to do with your life. And this is making me put on weight. Oh and if you didn't know once you've had a baby weight grows on you like leaves grow on trees. I have diabetes so this is pretty bad. I was going to pay off a cross trainer so I can go in to the shed and work out but he won't let me get one. I can't go for walks because of the heat, if you're a fellow QLDer you will know what I mean and I can't risk my son out in that kind of heat. Life is going down hill pretty quickly because of this. I could always go back to work, no problem but he is still in control of our finances so that won't fix the problem. He really is not interested in discussing this or budging and it is only pushing me away more and more. We have always fought about money since we have been together because I'm pretty lenient but know my limits and he is uncle scrooge so likes money sitting in the account letting his life waste by in the process. I should have thought about this problem a long time ago to be completely honest with myself but I had the power of my own account and do anything I felt like and didn't have a baby at the time. So I didn't really think about it as much. I guess you could say I turned a blind eye to it which is my fault. I'm an extremely independent person and to put it bluntly it really [cabbage]s me to tears that what makes me, me has been taken away from me.

"Great spirits have often encountered violent opposition from weak minds." - Albert Einstein I still think it is screwed up that I lost my best friend in a car accident due to stupid road defects. But then again his loss of life was enough for the government to fix the roads in that area and prevent it from happening to others. His death also encouraged the QLD government to create adverts about dangerous driving "every k over is a killer", "slow down stupid", etc This is the reason I figured that letting the 3 people die could also path it's own destiny for the future. The 3 people who died in this scenario definitely made a difference. Oh and I will PM you about the baby :D
