Happy Birthday Mandy!

[Jono]

Hope you had a good one. Welcome to the 30's club. 8)

[amanda]

Thanks Jono! I don't feel too different today at 30 + 1 day :)

I got to work and my entire office was filled with balloons - I couldn't walk in there!

Happy Birthday!
What did you get up to yesterday, Mandy?

[amanda]

Went to work! Marked some exam papers, went to lunch with work friends, ate lots of cake - pretty good day all around!

Brad & I are going out to dinner with family on Saturday night.

Happy Birthday young 'un

[Scottt]

Lunch at Chinese Noodle Restaurant?

[amanda]

mtb - nope! I have a phobia with popping balloons (I have no problems blowing up balloons or touching them - just the popping - irrational I know!)

scottt - too busy! we actually went to Capital Thai (cause Chat Thai was closed). Man - now I'm hungry for dumplings!

Heading to a place called El Phoenician tomorrow - it's a great Lebanese restaurant in Parramatta

Happy Birthday (didn't realise you were such a young thing)

Did you get some nice pressies? Maybe some toys?

[Moe Norman]

30 isn't young, it's ancient.

Hasn't even started breeding yet either!

not the be all and end all! it's amazing what happens when you marry a women with a career.

I got a great bike as a combined Xmas/Birthday gift (part carbon fibre road bike) - plus I'm saving for a fridge for our new house ($7500 - I know - fridge ho!)

That's actually a lot harder than people think - a few more months and I think we're off to a fertility specialist :?

[Moe Norman]

So women who have children are exempt from careers?

Someone should have told Gail Kelly and Margaret Abernethy !

Apologies, but remember - practice makes perfect!

[amanda]

I actually chose my career because it's family friendly as well :)

[damoocow]

Happy birthday old woman !

Happy Birthday for yesterday Amanda ...

7500 for a refrigerator??????

[marcel]

7500 for a refrigerator??????

we're about to do kitchen reno TK so have been looking at appliances etc. Some fridges come with a LCD TV and internet access. Don't even start me on ovens........

p.s. you're closer to a teenager than you are to my age amanda, so no commiserations, just belated best wishes

[Eag's]

Happy Birthday Amanda you young lass ;)

I'm sure those kids had a nice upbringing from their nanny!

[amanda]

7500 for a refrigerator??????
I know - Liebherr fridge & freezer (side by side). Problem is that we could probably buy a regular side by side fridge/freezer, a TV & home theatre for the same amount. The fridge is my dream - we'll see if I can make it happen! (or how badly brad wants the golf cart :lol:)

Can't wait for our party tonight!

[Moe Norman]

Gail Kelly wouldn't have been able to afford a nanny when her kids were young

[tg01]

I'm sure those kids had a nice upbringing from their nanny!

Why would the child be raised by grandparents / paid nanny (whatever it is)?

Why are parents so dependant on their childen?
