if she's correct, will you all be moving to South Africa after this?

yay, julez! so nice when things start to feel all cosy and homely

[Jeraly 4]

Shouldn't that be "Soth" Africa?

Oj julez - I am sooo envious! I am back at house-in-a-state mode and it is annoying to say the least. Bed and nightstands pulled out, climbing over the bed to get out of the room... not fun... And curtains?! We'd prolly be too warm with them although the privacy would be nice

Ok - so there are two admin-y type jobs locally at the moment - one is paying $11 per hour and the other (which is a six month contract but sounds like a more interesting job for the same company) is about $13 an hour... Not amazing but certainly better than no income at all... will re-hash my resume for admin (which should be easy) and give them a go - would be nice to get some income!!!

Oh by the way everyone, have a great Thanksgiving!

[VisaJourneyLady 33]

Hey July guys, and July hangers on (like me) I just got caught up on your thread and (deep breath)

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!! To Marta and Welcome Kai!!!! I hope you like it here.

Rae - I thinks Mox's advice was sound. Picking battles, and letting MIL think she's having a say is the best way to peace, though gently reminding her of her ample opportunity to have her very own signature cocktails and other wedding choices in the past if she doesn't want to give in on the battles you had decided were worth the fight.

Julez - I want your house!!!

StP and Mox - though your barb trading was entertaining, I was so relieved when El Pompouso left the building. You guys defended the thread valiantly and should be rewarded with many points for redeeming in the form or recipies for your book. The urinal cake made me laugh so hard, and was such a nice reminder that these threads don't have to be full of drama to be funny and special and interesting places to be. My hats off to you both (and may El Pompouso be banished for another many thousands of posts!)

Agnes - Best of luck, any word on the job? I hope those fruitloops get all the goodies a worldwide recession has to offer. Perhaps they can take a little of the heat for the rest of us?

HAPPY THANKSGIVING to everybody!

@aly: good luck on the jobfront!!!!!

Happy Thanksgiving to everybody even to the ones who say the day means nothing to them

Thanks for all the congratulations I put up some pics on FB which brings up a question: Why don´t I have all of you in my contacts there? Cuz some of you aren´t on FB? Then the question is why I think Kai had enough of the stories of half presents for his birthday if he was born around Xmas so he decided a month and a bit early was appropriate enough to come out Due to his early arrival things have been pretty busy, especially cuz not everything was ready here, but we are trying to deal with things as they come. So that´s why you saw less of me I am still not fully recovered but he is so cute and brings a lot of motivation so I can always find some more energy in me

Aly I think the aunt is mean and selfish I hope for you that she stops acting like that.

Poiteen you only pop in here every once in a loooong while so I have no idea whats going on with you or what´s new You better tell us

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

This will be my first one and I'm really looking forward to it. Bring on the turkey!

[StillThePrettiest 3]

happy Thanksgiving all! our turkey is stuffed and in the oven; pumpkin pie is made, and we're on track to be ready on time

Marta, I guess this is a very special Thanksgiving for you guys... SO MUCH to be thankful for

I'm on FB, but I don't like it much... too much going on in there; too many requests and groups and applications and stuff

but I go in occasionally... will try to find you later

[tucson_chick 0]

Marta, when you be able to take Kai home with you? Does he have to stay at the hospital for a long time?

happy thanksgiving to everybody!!!!

Happy thanksgiving everyone! We're having a bit of a late dinner. Can't wait to eat!

[English Muffin 59]

Happy thanksgiving everyone! We're having a bit of a late dinner. Can't wait to eat!

Just got back from mine and all I have to say is... BURP!!!

I'm now going to put on some very loose sweat pants and sit in front of the TV until bedtime.

[StillThePrettiest 3]

ours went fine too

our turkey was to die for, and the STUFFING!!! SO good... I'll be making that again; I think I'll adapt it so we can have it in pasties or something... our pumpkin pie was just ok... I'm not a big fan anyway, but it was pretty ordinary by any measure

however! we had a huge lot of roast veg - potatoes and carrots and parsnips and turnips and beets and apple - which were great, and I made my fresh rolls again, and my mother-in-law brought round a magnum of champagne

so, all in all: a good day

looking forward to a good sleep now though

[Jeraly 4]

Ours was pretty quiet - we went to Jeremy's grandparents who are real sweethearts but I think I missed a younger crowd - not to mention that by about 4pm I just wanted to be in bed because I am still poorly

Think I would defo like to host next time though

[Jeraly 4]

StP - I've sent you a bunch of friend suggestions on facebook if it is any help

[StillThePrettiest 3]

fankies

it's weird... I'm very internet savvy, usually, and don't generally find anything all that difficult to learn about and get used to... but I have not been able to get used to facebook

guess I'm truly getting old
