General Not a Good Day!

Hi Kerri Anne thanks for your support.Do you know I can go and pick a mango of a tree any time I feel like one yum:smile:

Oh Jen,

That is so mean!! I paid $4 for a mango the other day.............funny thing is, I never wanted them with Alexander. Probably because I too could go out the back yard and grab one if I wanted it. Damn I love mangoes!! Never mind Jen - I have a department store less than 10 minutes drive away........no four hour drive to Cairns for me.

Ow Kerri Anne
Lucky Im not much of a shopper but my daughter is. She is always going on about the shops up here are just not up to her standard. How much are bananas down there we are still paying $12 kilo?

Hi Jen
I got a bargin buy of $9.99 a kilo this week! I have to pay the price because it's the only fruit my boy will eat.

I'm a real fruit bat and really don't eat a lot of junk. Unfortunately, its still $12.99 per kilo here but like the mangoes I'm willing to pay it because I do love my fruit.

Jen, tell your daughter I feel her pain. I got posted to Townsville from Sydney so you can imagine how it felt to me then. Got used to it after a while though.

We where just poking fun at this actually Jen... Stocklands.... Stocklands... whats that again? Oh, thats right... that's a local corner store here in Melbourne! He he he he he he he.... :) Cheeky ha???

 

[Jen]

Oh very good Anthony:smile: My daughter and I are going to see Robbie Williams in Dec and she insisted that we go down a day a day early so she can go shopping because in her words "the shopping in Townsville sucks"
I am not much of a shopper I am happy with Kmart or Big W bit sad isnt it?

Yer, I got tickets for robbie williams also... and kylie minogue, wiggles, elton john... kerrie just went to the dixie chicks... I love Melbourne. So much to do entertainment wise. I so missed all this for 10 years whilst in Townsville.

 

[Jen]

OH to go and see Elton would be great but I cant afford 2 trips to Brissy! I went and saw Elton John and Billy Joel a few years ago when we lived down south you will love it I am so envious!!!!

So am I Jen. See the new bub will be here and I am a breastfeeding mum which kind of limits me in the first few months. Not that I really mind too much, its hard to get me away from them at the best of times. I remember being in tears the first time Anthony took Alexander out on his own. So, no Elton for me but I do get the Wiggles in December. We figured that Daddy can mind Alexander (at the concert) and Mummy can look after Boo besides its only a short concert. Their target audience are not known for their long attention spans!

hi Jen,
It is a good thing that your hubby is starting the course. and congratulations on making the 25 year mark. I've just passed one year, and it was hard, so 25 years is like a bit of a nightmare and a dream for me. If it is at all possible, I strongly recommend attending the women's sessions at the PTSD course. I found them extremely helpful. I started the course at the beginning of my relationship and through those sessions I found out exactly what I was in for. It prepared me a little. I am also in Townsville and I would just like to offer my shoulder any time you feel you need it. I know that the PTSD unit is there for you as well but sometimes it is really uncomfortable to talk to them. And trust me, if your hubby is anything like mine is, by the end of the second week, that course becomes the highlight of their day. Here's hoping all goes well for you both. I sincerely admire your strength for staying with, and obiously supporting, your husband for so long.
