Popping in to say hi...

Hi everyone

Just thought that I would pop in and say hi to everyone... not much happening still.

But the big news is that we have had a couple of meetings with the bank and we have been able to take the house of the mortgage and refinance all our finances and debts. Gonna have a big mortgage now but at least we can stay in the house and don't have to face the prospect of moving. This is great as the agent told me yesterday that with the market the way it is we would have been lucky to get $250K when we had it on the market as offers over $270K. So now we can keep an eye on the market and will be reviewing things every 6mths or so. So yay to no more open homes and having to tidy everything each morning which was frustrating me with Rachel doing her best to "help".

Have had my PND meds reviewed and had tried coming off them (as per the chat with my Dr at my last visit) but unfortunately I wasn't able to at this stage so am on them for at least another 3/6 mths for now.

Work is still extremely busy and stressful at times. Still looking for a job in the Hutt Valley - have applied for one on line last week but haven't heard anything back as yet. Between you and me - I think I may be over qualified for the role but will wait and see.

Rachel is doing extremely well - coming along in leaps and bounds with all aspects of her development! She is starting the transition from the nursery to the Infants room at day care next week... she will spend two weeks spending more and more time in the next room but as she already spends heaps of time in there (as a lot of her friends have already gone up as they are older than her) we don't think there will be many problems with the transition. And with the transition, she gets to sleep in a big bed (okay a stretcher with a mattress etc) - so they thought they would just try it yesterday and she slept in the big bed for 2 hrs!!! Which is a lot longer than she has been sleeping lately and she didn't even try to get out or anything - just lay down and went to sleep! Our little girl is growing up so fast! Will down load some photos and share them with you soon though we have been a bit slack in taking photos recently.

Right, I am off to bed as I am on Rachel duty tomorrow and then we have to go to the bank to sign the papers etc... so think I will go to bed, read my book and have an early night.

Catch ya all sometime xxx
