well i've not written in an age. lazy i suppose.
my little wee man has just decided today to finally poo in the toilet after being wee trained for about 4 weeks, he was too scared to poo, then today, just did it! i am so pleased with him

well i haven't posted for a bit ;cause there hasn't been much going on.
but Michael Jackson dying? wow
guess the people that have tickets for the upcoming concerts will have to find something else to do that night
wonder if it was 'natural causes' or not. that guy was getting seriously wierd. my first impressions are that it probably wasn't, more like self inflicted.

how to make extra money?
i need some extra money but how do people go about making it?
what is my USP?
paper round? bit old
running errands?
write a bestseller
get a normal boring job?
sell my kids?!

i am so over the whole dentist thing, nothing i can do apart from put up with it until we can save up the money to start getting it all sorted.
today i went with my 4 year old and her daycare to a puppet show which was loads of fun but kind of crazy. one school group was late and a whole theatre of 3 and 4 year olds had to wait. it was looking like they were going to go loco until my daughters teacher got up at the front of the auditorium and lead a sing song of 'open shut them' 'twinkle twinkle little star' and other favourites! was definatly the funniest moment!
the kids had a great time though, i love going to these things, as a parent 'helper' i get in free too!

well i haven't written for a few days
i've been pretty down about the whole money thing, not just the dentist but my MIL got mixed up in the blue chip thing and it turns out that some documents my husband signed to do with a house purchase were not drawn up properly and instead of being a signatury for the family trust he has ended up being a co-loaner which means if she can't pay the mortgage they will come after us for the money
which we simply cannot afford. worst case scenario is that we'd loose our house.
not happy

i haven't been on for a few days after some posts on the Trade Me message board turned personal and nasty and made me feel pretty crappy.
debates are great but the personal comments made by a couple of idiots were not appreciated.
having said that, most of the comments were interesting and supportive, if not for the idea to get dentistry subsidised, at least for the position that i am currently in

well i know i am not the only one stressed over dental treatment, i've set up a couple of topics on the subject on Little Treasures forum and on Trade Me forum and are getting plenty of feedback from people in the same situation, with the odd antagonist added in for fun!
luckily i don't take to seriously the 'person' who demanded to know how old i was, why had i let my teeth get into such a state and why should i expect the tax payers to pay for it!
way to miss the point. they are in this state because going to the dentist for check ups is expensive too and has become a luxury. it's way down on the priority list when it comes to where our money gets spent. i'm sure i am not the only one who puts it off as long as possible or only goes when they are in pain.
affordable dentistry should be a right, not a luxury item.
i have learnt from forum replies that Australia's 'medicare' system has free dental clinics, england has a good public dental system
why not NZ?
