Lilypie 2nd Birthday Ticker

 

 

My name is Kelly i am 25 and i have a hubby Shannon who is 25 also but i am 5 days older than him.

We met in 2004 off the internet mind you (find someone i think the site was) and we got married early 2006 a month before Ella was born. We are very happy and he looks after us in a caring manner and also financially which means I do not have to work and I can spend time with the girls. I am thinking next year or becoming a baby swimming instructor, which I have a huge interest in atm. See what the new year holds for us.

Shannon has Type 1 Diabetes, we are all trying to find a cure for this terrible disease. We raise money every year. Please message me if you want to help. I did write information on this disease in my Advice section JDRF.

We have two girls Ella who is 2 and a half years old who is growing up so fast. She learns new words everyday. She loves Ducks and Dogs and the park. She is a very active little girl. She is now talking sentences, reads flash cards, very independent. Her development just from the age of two to two and a half has boomed. She can count up to 21 and is learning her colours. Not interested in the toilet or toilet training but we shall get to that :).

Mia is 14 months old, she is crawling around and has now started to walk. She smiles, giggles and laughs alot. She is learning new words all the time its sooo exciting.

Then there is Mitsy, she is just over a year old she is our new addition to the family and also the ...

NEED HELP WITH FATHERS DAY!

Comment Published at 21:1121:1110 comments10 comments22 Visits22 VisitsReport

Ok hubby is a nerd he loves his computer etc and gadgets and stuff. I need help finding him something. Not that he deserves it. So anyone out there who has a nerding hubby please help.

http://www.latestbuy.com.au/ this is the site i been looking at as its in Western Australia.

This is one of my pics so far!

Don't Count On It is a puzzle with a prize! A wooden wallet that won't open without the use of some deep, lateral thinking (or a hacksaw).

Give it as a gift, and you'll get your money's worth watching them unwrap it, stare blankly, recognise the reward inside and then try to get their hands on it. Before long, they'll be begging you for the solution and everyone who fancies themselves as having half a brain will be standing by to take their turn at cracking it for the cash.

It's a brain-tickling way to present your present – bank notes, lottery tickets, concert tickets, scratch 'n' win tickets, gift vouchers – if it's paper, it's perfect for the Don’t Count On It treatment.

We're told there are magnets involved somewhere along the line – but that's the only hint you'll get from us.

It's a great way to help shopaholics save their cash – just pop it in the Don't Count On It puzzle and before they've worked out how to get it out – the urge to splurge will have faded. Unfortunately, it may be replaced by the strong desire to throttle you – so remember to stand well back (or at least have the camera ready).

If it's the thought that counts, Don't Count On It is perfect – because now they'll really have to think about it too!

Product Specification

Don't Count On It includes a wooden puzzle, rigid plastic liner, usage instructions and is suitable for locking gift certificates, concert, airline or lottery tickets, paper money and greeting cards. The wooden puzzle is about 207(W) x 97(L) x 18(H) mm and 250g in size and weight respectively. Recommended for ages 8 and upwards.

This is another pic i have considered

What the Desktop Soccer is all about...

Chandler and Joey had one. The rich kid at school had one at his place. Any gaming arcade worth it's salt has one. And now, YOU can have one – without having to save for months or max out the credit card! Desktop Soccer brings the timeless, world-wide, must-have game of "foosball" into your home (or even your lunch room!).

There's no doubt, it's an awesome way to chill out and have a bit of fun – but when it's time to get back to the "real world", a big and bulky table is a bit of a pain to have around. With Desktop Soccer – it's a compact 60 x 60 cm (2 feet x 2 feet) – with handles – and can be played on any table, any where.

This quality table features a smooth free flowing mechanism and a great look! So it's attractive enough to be a permanent feature, or small enough to pack away when you're done – great for unit dwellers!

Suitable for 2 players, the six-a-side set up makes for a super-fast game – so you'll really be working on your reflexes! And the sliding counter means you (or your forgetful opponent) won't lose track of the score!

Going to a mate's place to watch the footy? Chuck this in the back of the car and it's "game on" at half time!

Clear the table and get ready for Desktop Soccer – you get a big kick, in a small amount of space, for a very compact price!

Product Specification

Desktop Soccer is approximately 60 cm wide (including handles) and 60 cm long.

And this one. I cant see anything else.

What the Keychain Alcohol Breath Tester is all about...

You've spent the night out with mates having a few drinks and you want to drive home. Problem is, you're not sure whether you're over the limit...

...and we all know that if you drink and drive you're a bloody idiot, so instead of getting behind the wheel when you could be over the legal limit, simply reach for this ultra small Keychain Alcohol Breath Tester.

Designed to fit comfortably in your pocket, purse or on your bunch of keys, the unit features a LED light indication of 1 of 5 levels (0.0%, <0.03%, <0.05%, <0.10% and >0.10%) of blood alcohol concentration - simply blow into it and wait for your result – then maybe get set to call a cab to drive you home!

Product Specification

The Keychain Alcohol Breath Tester requires 1 x 3V LR2032 lithium battery (included), is about 43(L) x 25(W) x 9(D) mm and 8g in size and weight respectively. This personal alcohol detector will automatically power off after 5s of being idle (the included battery is good for 150 measurements).

Please note: The readings from this blood alcohol level tester, if used and calibrated as instructed, should provide an indicative guide to the level of alcohol in your body. No testing device is completely foolproof and inaccurate readings can occur due to user error and environmental conditions. Please consume alcohol responsibly and do not drink and drive.

What the R/C Robot Soccer is all about...

Soccer – it's the World Game! The number of players grows every day. And now you can swell the ranks and join the run-on side, without ever getting out of your chair, with R/C Robot Soccer (or football as most of the world knows it)!

It's just like soccer – only you can play it on your desktop! OK, it's not exactly like soccer – you'll use your fingers, not your feet – and it's one-a-side rather than eleven and there are no hooligans - but you know, the principal is the same. Get the chant going "Ole! Ole! Ole! Ole" - dribble the ball - score a goal - run around with your shirt over your face!

Boys, girls, workmates, A-League fans - remote control robot football is a gift that's appropriate for ALL ages (yes, corporate executives love soccer too!). It'll keep them all pre-occupied 'til the next World Cup!

The set contains a mini soccer field (your own private Wembley!), one soccer ball (so don't go kicking it over the fence) and two miniature soccer playing remote control robots. So you can be Harry Kewel! Mark Viduka! Or even David Beckham! (Although we don't have a little Robot Posh or little Robot Paparazzi to complete the set.)

And you can forget having to fork out the million dollar salaries, these guys run on AA batteries. They're not likely to fall over and fake a penalty or head butt the opposition either (and neither should you).

Fitted with four wheels and lots of attitude, the two soccer robots "chirp" away happily as they trundle their way across the included playing field chasing fame and glory.

Remote Control Robot Soccer – just like soccer, it's the World Game! Anyone can play and everyone wants to!

Product Specification

R/C Robot Soccer includes a soccer field measuring 890(L) x 60(H) x 490(W) mm in size, two robots each measuring 90(L) x 90(H) x 70(W) mm in size, one football and two infrared remote controllers.

2 x AA batteries and 3 x AA batteries are required for each remote control and robot soccer player respectively, a total requirement of 10 x AA batteries for the game pack (not included).

MUM & DADS VERY INTERESTING TRIP

Comment Published at 17:5217:5211 comments11 comments23 Visits23 VisitsReport

Well what an adventure they had. Friday 15th they arrived at our place to go to Phuket for a week or just over at around 6pm to say goodbye to the girls. Dad left his ute here for us to just nick out if one of us needed to go just to get milk or something and also for when my brother was arriving back from Melbourne a week later. So they said goodbye to us. There taxi came at like 6.30pm they had a 9.30pm flight. We are like 10 mins away from the airport.

So they sat around there and got told there flight was delayed. They called me at like 9pm telling me its delayed by two hours. The plane had to turn around in Singapoore as someone had a heart attack. See the plane goes to singapoore, then to phuket. Anyway so they waited around. They then found out the plane was damaged as it landed with full fuel and in the end the flight was cancelled. They were to come back in the morning.

So mum and dad called us up and shannon went to go collect them to come back here, pick the ute up and head home to then come back here tomorrow. So they arrived here at 10:00am Saturday morning. They got the taxi driver to come pick them up at 11ish to arrive at airport with a plane leaving perth to singapoore at around 2.45pm. Well that was all good they were in singapoore.

Well they then find out there is no connecting flight to Phuket and they were and everyone else on that flight to find accomidation in singapoore to the next day to catch a flight to Phuket. Luckily they found somewhere at over 200 bucks for the night. They had to que up in a line to get in contact with the hotel they were staying in at Phuket as it might of been taken being they missed out on two days already. That was all fine.

The next morning arrived at airport, plane to go to phuket. They arrived in phuket and called me and said they hated it. The people werent trustworthy and they nagged you. It reminded them of bali. The next day they were going to the travel agency to get a flight back to singapoore to stay there. They managed to get a flight the day after that. However the hotel in Phuket would not refund mum and dad the remaining left on there hotel room. So they were out of pocket. They spent the rest of the week in singapoore and got Ella and Mia a matching dress. I dont think they got much else.

If ur wondering who they flew with it was TIGER AIR! Mum and Dad now have to deal throught them and there insurance company to get any monies that is owning to them for this mix up of theres.

Love Kell
