Arrgh,had to start a new thread!

Yes,you can get more land in Tauranga. Well,somewhere like Omokoroa or somewhere.Wouldn't want to live much closer than that. And I woulkdn't want to live at he Mount. Lovely as it is. Too touristy,imo.
We would like enough land for a pool (eventually) maybe a sleepout and still enough for a veggie patch and garden for kids. Don't neeed acres +. Wouldn't say no though,if we could afford it! Be nice to have a few sheep or something/

I think Mum would have to fly to Tauranga. So that would be
Manchester-London,London-Singapore, Singapore-Aukland,Aukland- Tauranga
Bad.

justa howws the back? Hope physio was a help,we may have driven past you!
Your house sounds great.
My mums friend lives in Silverdale.She has about an acre with some sheep etc
Wasn't overly impressed at but didn't give it a proper look I suppose,just stopped to buy flowers for Mums friend! Always worth another look

I can probably do closer to 10am tbh. Our mornings really aren't rushed at the moment. Blush

Was dragged in the pool by 3yr old earlier. Was nice but only in 20mins before ds's lips turned blue. Grin

Ooh AB, is it what I think it is?

(of course there's no way you can guess what I think it is)

WhatSheSaid · 11/10/2012 05:34

And can you tell me quick as I have to go and feed next doors cats and take both kids with me as dh has gone to Wellington overnight.

No pressure, honest.

Thanks vviola!
Well that would be nice justa, but I hadn't managed to lose the last of the weight from the last pregancy (usually do before each time) and so I am still fat! I will have to keep moving and watch what I eat,or else I will end up with An Apron!
I realise that that should be the very least of my worries,btw, but I am quite self conscious about my appearance, can't help it

WhatSheSaid · 11/10/2012 08:22

Huge congratulations AB Grin. You're overdue some luck.

I have spent the last hour watching some cycling tour of beijing live - how exciting so from 10pm TV is officially mine. 'I know what I like and I like what I see'.

frikonastick · 11/10/2012 16:37

How lovely AB! Congrats to you :-)

AngryBeaver · 11/10/2012 19:36

Cheers lolly and frick yes, I am trying to be positive. But didn't want to let myself think aout it too much, that way if it went badly wrong again, I guessed it wouldn't hurt as much. But I have failed in that task!! Still very anxious though,I'm going to insist on better care this time. As my GP friend in the UK said "you deserve the red carpet treatment this time"....I hope I get it.

lolly I did laugh at the mental image of you in a bar drinking wine, with all the shopping round your feet!
I can't imaging why you would watch an hour of cycling, I can only think you were hypnotised by the spin of the wheels!

OP posts:
lollystix · 11/10/2012 20:07

I was secretly mumsnetting - given up the fight on the TV years ago but insist on Downton when it's back on.

Sadly my glamourous bar drinking days are well behind me which is a shame when I work in the CBD and the summer is comingSad. I'm not a sun person but these lighter days are making me feel like I'm on holiday.

How many weeks do you think you are AB?

longwhitecloud · 11/10/2012 20:10

Wonderful news AB. Congratulations!
