APRIL CHIT CHAT

Oh theminis.... .....that's so funny....Gave me a good first thing belly laff over my coffee.....just be thankful you didn't send a rogue
porn site to everyone....

Are you using iPad or iPhone.....me thinks you need some
basic training PDQ !!!!
Either that or the burka ladies have put a spell on you ? Lol

OMG the minis that's hysterical! You'll have to tell your hubby that...

This sounds like something I would do. I guess I'm not the only one here that is technology challenged then, eh? Safety in numbers!

what nice song theminis?

Its Me - Well the song was Celine Dions the Power of Love, he had never heard it he said, so sent it to him, well at least that's what I tried to do...wont be doing that again.

Turns out our email account was hijacked, tech confirmed it over the phone when he took over our PC via remote - even the tech guy started laughing when he saw all the weight loss stuff I was accidentally spamming people with!!. Worst of all a friend who has been doing boot camp for weeks, struggling to lose weight thought I was poking fun at her!! Im hiding in my house now, not going anywhere -

To top it off an already brilliant day (sarcasm) the afternoon ended with my neighbour (thank god its one I like) jumping our back fence to retrieve a ball but landed in our swimming pool instead! - How you ask? I don't bloody know how he didn't see a 15foot pool, but splash and a lot of yelling later there he was, oh yeah taught my 3 year old another word, albeit in an Indian accent when he screamed of F...ing Shit!!!

Think I may write a short novel about our families adventure these school holidays!!!

Theminis - the same thing happened to me without my sending anything. It's a bogus diet plan. It wasn't your fault you were hacked.

Didn't read page 2 before I replied.

the Power of Love
seems a nice song

Aaaaah, finally I've got a new title and....nothing wrong with this one

Im laughing so much Im crying at the same time...

My friend keeps telling me Im such a TFU which is a Technical F..k Up, I think she's spot on..

p.s. funniest thing is that hubby is the only one who didn't get the message....

OMG theminis, you always seem to make my day better! Same thing happened to my sister recently. Some raspberry ketone thing got sent to everyone in her email list. She ended up in touch with lots of people she hadn't talked to in years so maybe Hubby's old boss will check in with you! Ha!

Well never been hacked before, first time - so have now run all my scans and changed all passwords - well at least porn wasn't sent to my sons teacher and just an odd weight loss plan.

theminis you keep me laughing for sure!

Im thinking I should put what happens in my life in the jokes thread, its sure been a comedy of late!!

Well in keeping with my highbrow posts on farting....

For those of you with boys... apparently this book has lots of farting in it.

Great! That's George's birthday present sorted then. Who wants to pitch in?

What is it about boys and farting, my 7 year old thinks its the funniest thing in the world to try and fart on his 3 year old brother - who hates it but falls over laughing... boys are weird, then they become men!

are u sure?

No It's me, Im not entirely sure HA HA - I think they just grow taller!

I just got back from the supermarket, on my way out I saw OK Magazine. It said that Angelina & Brad were married. I tried there web and saw the cover but couldn't get any info. I googled it and got nothing.

taller
yes!

Article I found today whilst trawling the web....

Dr Proposal
10:22AM, Apr 9

Meet the woman who is schooling men on how to pop the question the right way…

Have you ever dreamed about how you will be proposed to? Don’t lie…we reckon most women at some stage or another have thought about how their guy should get down on one knee. So what if the whole thing turned out to be one big fat disappointment: think your BF casually saying, “Want to get hitched babe”, while the footy is on TV. Not ideal. Enter Sam Sheppard. We hadn’t heard of her either, but this lady is making big news in the UK because she’s made it her mission to train guys on how to propose, and she has a 100 percent success rate. What’s her number!?

The 34-year-old Welsh matchmaker-of-sorts came up with her service after her own boyfriend chocked when popping the question. “The idea came from my own disappointing experience - my boyfriend, Ryan Galeozzi, proposed to me during an argument in the same way you might ask someone if they'd like to go for a pizza.

“When he proposed I didn't even realise what he was asking. He said he spent too long looking and planning and in the end he just blurted it out.”

It was so bad that the couple isn’t actually engaged yet, Sheppard is waiting for his second attempt, but what did come from the disastrous evening was a business idea: enter The Proposal Expert.

Catering for clients with budgets as low as $15, all the way up to $15,000 extravaganzas; Sheppard’s aim is make sure other women (or men) aren’t disappointed like she was. And it seems’s she doing a pretty good job, with none of her proposers being turned down so far.

She usually spends three weeks planning the perfect moment and the prospective bride or groom can choose from a number of packages. For around $150 Sheppard will give a consultation, where she basically just tells the person if their idea sucks. Or for a heftier fee she will plan every detail of the proposal, including organising the location and the run sheet for the moment - she can even arrange for the event to be shot in secret, paparazzi-style.

So how does she make it special for each couple, considering no one wants a package-deal proposal? “I ask key questions to put together the pieces of the puzzle - what makes their partner laugh, how they spend their Saturday mornings - those little things build up a picture.

“Once we've got the idea, the proposer can then have as much or as little input as they like.”

And they don’t even have to tell their beloved that they had a little help, with Sheppard admitting that most men don’t fess up. Oh well, it’s the thought that counts, right?

Sheppard’s research has shown her that most women prefer to be asked while their partner is literally on a bended knee – seems we’re still up for old fashioned romance. And the most popular style of proposal is the treasure hunt because it draws the whole thing out and makes it feel like lots of thought has gone into it.

I actually know 2 women who have declared they would say no unless their partner goes all out, expensive dinner makes proposal very public with signwriting in the sky etc etc, flowers, diamond bigger than 1 carat - I have told them that the whole point is that someone has asked you to marry them, how its done is not the important part - one lady had made it such a task that her boyfriend told her in front of me that he will never propose to her under such strict guidelines, that she had taken all the joy out of it - they have since broken up, no real surprise. The coach in the above article will be very popular as thousands of girls send their guys there to make sure they get the proposal they want, shame really in a way.

Hi ladies, spent my honeymoon here on Hayman Island in a pool access room almost 10 years ago, loved it, so beautiful, just realised you can now buy a residence there, so going to put my retirement super to good use in 20+years and maybe retire there....Hope you enjoy a beautiful part of Australia.

That looks so beautiful! New addition to the places I want to go!!!!!

It is very beautiful SG and definitely add it to your list, the whole area around the Great Barrier Reef is just gorgeous, but the Whitsundays (where Hayman is located) is definitely one of the best locations I have ever been too.

Theminis - I have always wondered why Australia is called Oz. Can you help me?

HI Bluebelle, I guess its because when you say Australia it sounds like Oztralia so I just think over time it became Oz.

A conversation at our house last night.

Sitting on the couch relaxing or at least trying to when our daughter says to hubby:

Daddy - were you with Mummy when I was born?
Hubby - yes I was, I will never forget it, you were so cute!
Daughter - then can you tell me since you were with Mummy, how did I get out of Mummys tummy?
Hubby - Oh shit, I walked right into that one - he continues to stare at me waiting for me to rescue him
Hubby - well we went to hospital and the Dr took you out
Daughter - OMG I know that, how did I get out of there, her belly button is too small for my head
Hubby - he's starting to look uncomfortable, and a little bit helpless so tells her - Honey a magic fairy waved a magic baby wand that had pink glitter on it and all of a sudden you just appeared?????????? WTF - I laughed till I cried and my daughter looks at him and says in all seriousness - is that the best lie you could tell me?

Thanks Theminis and save that conversation. You will want to tell her about it when she gets older.

OMG Theminis! I love your house! Your daughter is a fire cracker! Just love that little mini. And your hubby is a hoot. You should be writing these down and putting them on a blog. Heck of a lot funnier than all those Mummy blogs out there that lecture poor Mums on how to do everything "correctly!"

Love your stories! And that honeymoon place! I want your life!

Hi Bluebelle and Oof - I have been writing down some of their comments for awhile now - so funny and innocent, I have a nice collection of funny stories to tell them.

Our daughter says the most hilarious, amazing things at times - when she had her tonsils out, one of the things she told surgeon, and there were many things she told him!!, was not to take her tongue out too, cause its really cool and she can nearly touch her nose with it, she then showed him, too funny....

She is a lucky girl to have a Mummy like you!

I agree with Oof you should do a blog---or write a book. They are very cute and I feel for your husband....although I thought he was very creative.

Thanks Oof - that's sweet... Sillygirl - it was very creative and so funny watching him stumbling over what to say - he's not one to stumble usually but our daughter gets him tongue tied every time.

theminis again LMAO! Your daughter is hysterical!

So funny TM....you really must keep them all for their
wedding day speech's !!! Lol

And grandchildren - they love hearing stories about their parents.

Great ideas ladies - definitely going to bring these stories out, maybe when she brings her first boyfriend home to meet us??? LOL

I heard she had several boyfriends already!(:

Oof you cheeky minx - alas yes this is true - she picked 3 boys the first week of school to be her boyfriend.... only one of those boys is still a really good friend, pretty sure she scared off the other 2. One boy was dragged into her pretend castle to be cooked in an oven, and she chased the other one up a tree! One of her friends at school told me that some of the girls don't like her as she keeps all the boys for herself, she wont share them!!

Hubby better get prepared NOW for what's to come TheMinis!

I don't think he will be prepared. The only rule that I have is that there will be no double standards in our house - if our boys date at 16 or 18 then so will she - he just looked in pain, like he was constipated and walked off!!

theminis - you should write a children's book with those stories and put the money you make in a college fund for your daughter!

I love you TheMinis. You make me smile. And thanks Mel for all the belly laughs today.

Playful - Im thinking the money can go to my retirement fund, will need somewhere peaceful to relax and rest after raising her I think.

Theminis....what you must remember is that one day your kids will choose your retirement home !

True and I hope they start saving now, I have big plans!

I like the idea of that resort where you honeymooned. Save me the room next to you. I'll get your baby girl a Barbie House if she'll promise to keep me from getting a unibrow!
