Wordless Wednesday...

Julie's Birthday Night!!!

Wow what a fun night we all had. First off we all met at a bar as there were about 20 or more of us from different friend groups. The reason being for the different groups is because there were about three others also celebrating their birthdays, so they also bought along friends! We went onto the restaurant and actually took over the whole place as it was only a small family run Italian restuarant but with a Turkish twist and thats where the belly dancer came in hehe We were all sitting there drinking and chatting when in she came and what a laugh!! Once we had finished our meals and the drinking, about midnight, a few of us headed off to the casnio for more fun and thats where Julie and I stayed until the sun was well and truely up, which was about 6.45am....

Wordless Wednesday .....

The week that was.....28/02/09 - 07/03/09

Well what a week it was is all I can say and thank goodness it's over!!!! Some things are personal and I can't mention here in such a public forum but I definitely know who my good friends are and I thank them as always for the wonderful support during the ups and downs of my life but at least I still have a smile on my face :-) Things are still one step forward and three back but I'm still fighting and I know I'm strong and the light is there at the end of the tunnel......I think hehe Well Monday is a day I think I will skip as it was a little arghhhhhh but Tuesday was a very fun day as I had a date and lets just say that it went well and heres hoping!!! The rest of the week went by being a busy mum to my lovely boys and getting them to their various places including lots of soccer practice for my oldest. Saturday evening was fantastic night out celebrating my friends birthday and ended up being a big crowd of us with three other people celebrating birthdays too and I didn't get home till 6.45am Sunday morning!!!.....blog and photos to follow!!!

Manage your mobile!

During the bad finanical climate that is affecting everyone around the world at the moment, people need all the spare cash they can get and to tighten those purse strings! Here are some savings that most people can try as we rely heavily on our mobiles and especially if you have children with phones!

• Use landlines Shop around for a good rate on your landline. If you're out, ask yourself if you can wait till you get home to make the call.
• Don't talk forever If you know you are going to have a long call, use a landline.
• Use off-peak services Call friends in these cheaper times. Some carriers offer free calls for other users on the same carrier, so try to use the same carrier for all the family.
• Stop unnecessary SMS We've all done it, engaged in long text 'conversations'.
• Get a better deal Call your mobile provider every six months or go online and see if there is a more suitable plan for you, based on your actual phone usage.
• Go for prepaid rather than plans This is ideal for the kids, to stop them from racking up huge bills. It also gives them a sense of control and budgeting.
• Use your PIN If your talkative teenagers have used all their prepaid credit, use the PIN function to stop them from using your mobile.
• 'Talk' over the internet Use email, chatrooms or online phone services such as Skype.
• Don't use your mobile overseas The costs are ridiculous...ouch. Use an overseas local carrier and pay local rates, and buy a phone card to call home.

The week that was....21/02/09 - 28/02/09

Hmmmm not much really happended this week as I was busy trying to keep a watchful eye on my little terror after breaking his collarbone! But as you can imagine with a 3 year old, and if you know my little guy, this is no easy feat lol His big brother and I tried to keep him from falling and bumping his arm and shoulder but he wasn't fazed in the slighest and carried on living life in the fast lane! Evan had his fracture clininc appointment on Wednesday and whilst waiting in the reception area, Evan proceeded to tell the young lad sitting behind us all about his toilet habits and what he had just done before we came out.......yes the poor young boy blushed and wasn't sure what to say...thats kids hehe Anyway, Evan was told that he could return to kindy on Friday and just to be careful.....a yay for all of us there I think! Evan returned to kindy with a happy smile and had no accidents! Saturday morning came and we were up early for Ollie's first pre-season soccer match against the under 13's rep team....Ollie's team lost but had a good match....you can't win them all!
