Me and My Family

I don''t know where to begin so here it goes: My partner and I have been together for 2 years after discovering each other whilst both being in unpleasant relationships. Ian, my best friend, my lover, and the biggest spunk on the planet has 6 children from previous relationships ( you could say he was a bit wild in his younger days). I had 3 children when we got together. Soon after though we found out i was pregnant with my 4th child.  Ian and I had a beautiful little boy together. Our children together makes 10 (how exhausting).

We live in a small country town and caused a lot of gossip for a while because we used to be neighbours and all partied together. Ian''''s ex-partner, whom he had 4 children with, was an alcoholic and sending them in to a whirlwind of unpaid bills, my story very similar, partner who enjoyed alcohol and loved a bet on the races, meanwhile leaving me to struggle with the bills. We like to say we rescued each other from uncertain futures.  Ian and I spoke in confidence on many occassions about our problems and eventually discovered the love we felt for each other. Now we are accepted in this tiny town because people can see that we were meant to be.

This web site is great because now i have a lounge!! The tiny house we live in does not have room for one. That has been converted in to our bedroom. Our house is just about bursting at the seams with clothes, toys, and BEDS. Not much else fits.  We recently bought a caravan so we could have some personal space plus we needed the extra storage. (10 kids worth of xmas presents is very hard to hide).

All of our children have their own personalities ...

email virus...

Comment Published at 15:4915:493 comments3 comments22 Visits22 VisitsReport

have you ever received an email saying ' if your wife sees this your screwed' or 'dude, somebody sent me this link to a video of you' then the email shows a link containing the words (amongst others) you tube dot  com watch? well  i have , and as i have not  been doing any thing embarrassing (to the best of my knowledge!) i knew it was bogus, so i went to you tube and searched the link and it didn't exist, it is just another creep trying to get your personal info and by clicking the link you would no doubt unleash some sort of spy-ware worm or some thing, so my advice is to simply delete such emails, . one of them came from Asia and the other from Madrid Spain , ...... i guess its time to do a virus scan...oh well

Five weeks!! things are very hectic and we are flat out, trying to make sure its all going to come together for us on the 29th. we have the cake coming from Cheine's Mum and also the food for the reception, as she does catering for a living, and my brother has a Holden statesman lined up for the flower girls, we will use our own Holden kings-wood for the bridal car(there is not a more beautiful vehicle in the world!) Cherine has eBay-ed the boys suits and her shoes, and got them for a song i might add,  she also whipped up some excellent invitations with the help of good old Microsoft publisher,and they look great!  we have silk  flowers that are coming from eBay, and  our dear friend, Lyn, is providing the use of her lovely garden at no charge, and a friend of mine who is a photographer, is doing the photo's as a wedding gift,  Cherines sister is a beautician and has offered to do all the hair make-up and nails etc for the flower girls and bride, we decided on a reception at home in our back yard, so i have been busy landscaping and cleaning the yard, plus putting in extra lights and speakers out side, we have a file sharing type programme on the PC that lets us download music, so we have that covered, Cherines brother is a professional DJ and has done weddings and disco's etc... so he will provide the entertainment, unfortunately the AFL grand final is being played the same weekend as our wedding(how dare they!!) so we have hit a snag with getting some important family members here as the air fares are quite high in line with the grand final, but we are trying to gather up a collection of frequent fly-er points from all the relies around that are not  going to use them and try and make the flights cheaper,, (if any one knows of cheap flights from Perth orCoolangatta to Melb, please let us know as we need all the help we can get!) whew this is wearing me out!! still, I can hardly wait, roll on the 29th, i wanna be married!!!

A couple of nights ago Ian and I decided we were going to try and get married in about 6 weeks, during the school holidays.  We have been wanting to get married for quite some time and have decided we are going to do a rush job and surprise everyone.  OMG OMG!!!!  Can we do it? Have we given ourselves enough time?  HOPE SOOO!!!!  Any tips and pointers would be great.
