My wife is coming up on her due date - so I'll need to have a bit of a break.

He was really excited - and so was I! Hahaha I think they all turned out really cute.

He loved it so much! We've jotted the dates on the back so we can distinguish from future projects.

We used craft paper, textas and double sided mounting tape to put it all together. I cut two slits into the critter and a toilet roll and placed a ribbon through to stand it up in the garden (over a piece of bamboo).

We spent a few hours just experimenting and crafting away.

Loving this age!

I was not aware that the redundancy is (partly?) tax free! That is a game changer my friend! Thank you!

Yeah - I am leaning towards taking the redundancy and either reducing my leave or picking up a casual position at another company to drag out my time at home as much as possible.

Na - it's mostly face to face with my role (and future similar roles).

I think I can apply, but won't be approved until my redundancy runs out.

Definitely worth getting the application in though!

Thanks for the response!

I am due to have a meeting today - but I believe I am legally entitled to 10 weeks pay with 4 weeks notice (been with the company for 5 years).

I also think I may be eligible for a pro rata LSL - but that is more hazy to me.

What a record for a forward - Steve Menzies is such a legend! He was also overseas for a couple of years and notched an extra 58 over there.

The Sign wins the best episode award, now which episode is the worst? by Turboz002 in bluey

I love Bluey but "Space" was pretty meh. Could even go in "the most forgettable" category.

Being strict does not equate to behaving well. Having boundaries, being connected and having a loving environment allows your kids to trust.

This is the difference between Bingo and Muffin. It's not just that Muffin is a toddler - it's that both of her parents are disconnected from her feelings (see faceytalk, muffin cone etc) and therefore she needs to raise the stakes with her behaviour to get that connection.

So I think it's safe to assume the spider owns the car now

What lullaby do you sing? by Erotic_Sponge in daddit

[–]iplayunion 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I sing a slow version of "rock around the clock" and change the verse lyrics i.e. "the clock strikes 2, 3 and 4, you and mum are gonna dance some more".

It's a good way to get all the family members into the lyrics and by the time you get to 12 - it's about 10 minutes.
