Hi all, the little joey (who I think mum has finally decided to call Billy [she changes her mind at least twice a day]) made it through the night last night! He wasn't expected to make it to midnight, but we saw a major improvement in just a few hours. This morning, he was no longer rigid or twitching, and he was standing up in his pouch, ready for food! He's been good all day, and other than still being a little weakened from last night, he's back to normal! I had this feeling he was going to pull though. =]

 

In other news, we had sport photos at school today. Being captain of a sporting team does have it's downfalls... lol, I think half our equestrian team thinks I'm ridiculous. But seriously, there were girls who wanted to wear their own jacket in the photo, rather than the school vest that everyone else was wearing, girls who had the wrong blouses, and no-one seemed to be able to tie a tie, myself included! So when we were finally settled for the photo, and I realised that half the girls had long boots, and the others had jodhpurs boots. So we put the girls with the tall boots in the back, and the short boots in the front. The poor photographer. I don't think he's going to want to come back next year! :roftl::naughty:

 

How are we all tonight?

Good news about Billy! :biggrin2: That is so cool that your mum is a wildlife carer, Margaret once did a course to become a wildlife carer but then nothing came of it.

 

You sound like a total nightmare :roftl:

 

Today between 5-6pm my home phone line is being connected by Telstra! And then I can call the internet company and get an internet connection!

 

It was so crap, we decided to get naked broadband because we dont want/need a phoneline, and we havent connected ours. But then in the sign up for the naked internet it said you HAD to call them from your home phone line that HAD to be working. So then we were like "fine, we'll do the bundle one" because it's not that much more expensive, but then that one says the SAME. So now we've had to connect the phone line with Telstra, costing $59, PLUS we're stuck in a line rental contract with Telstra for 3 months at $27.90 a month. So anyway, we were like, fine, okay we'll do that, and we'll go with the naked broadband and then we'll cancel the telstra line rental after 3 months.

We haven't ordered an internet plan yet, but we were going to go with Exetel 6gb peak/60gb off-peak(2am-12noon) at $45 a month with $40 connection fee. The bundle was $55 a month for 8gb/60gb.

Is that a good plan, anyone? Does anyone have a better plan I should hear about before we go ahead with that one? Does anyone think I can survive living with 3gb on peak? (I'm sharing with one person)

OKD: Yay for getting decent internet back ! :biggrin2:

 

I'm on the $59.95 Bigpond 12gb (per mth.) ADSL plan ... but it's so bloody slooooooooowwww ... :sneaky2:

 

We are looking into getting a much faster ADSL 2 plan ... but that would cost $90 per mth. :boxed: ... which is ALOT as we are on minimal income & the bill is only split between 2 of us ..... :no::dunno:

G'day EJ - how's the joey now?

He's heaps better! It was quite a miracle that he pulled through. According to the other carer, she'd never seen one come back from the symptoms he was showing.

 

I don't care what anyone thinks, :naughty:

 

I think I'm going to go run around the town naked now,

 

BYE!

Haha, I don't blame you. I'm sure I wouldn't be quite so composed myself if I were in your position! =P

Have fun with that! :roftl:

Do you know anything about your previous internet usage? I mean, if you're anything like me, I think you're going to need more than 6gb during peak. I've managed to exceed unlimited downloads before... :naughty:

See, the thing is, most working/studying people mainly use the net during peak, as they don't have access during off-peak. I know I'm now on 12gb a month (lol, had to cut back..), and I'm only on during peak, except for weekends. I also generally exceed it around this time of month, and instead of charging me extra, they put me back to dial-up speed. It's crappy for those few days, but it's better than excessive extra fees, or no internet at all! Not sure how much we pay, though...

Hello :boxed:

 

Can anyone here help meeeee? Pretty pretty please?

 

I feel SO stupid!! So I'm trying to participate in this JIM-thingy for the Mika ticets in Bruxelles (not that there is any chance I'd win them :dunno:) and they want me to answer the following:

 

"Vraag: wanneer komt het nieuwe album van MIKA “The Boy Who Knew Too Much” in België uit?

 

 

17 september 2009 18 september 2009 19 september 2009 *"

 

So when IS it released? I always thought it would be September 21. I googled and everything I find ALSO tells me September 21. I feel STUPID. Which date is it then? :blink:?

 

 

Edit: ok, this site says 18th http://www.freerecordshop.be/music/the-boy-who-knew-too-much-0602527125886

But it's strange..... why should it be released earlier in Belgium?! :blink:

Hi all, how are we?

The official 'end of school' countdown has begun. We're at 9 weeks now.

 

Billy (the joey) is doing heaps better, and is currently trying to claw my keyboard. Zoe, (the female joey), on the other hand, is trying to get out of her pouch and sit on my keyboard/get in with Billy. Haha, she's such a handful compared to him!

 

In other news, one of my wisdom teeth is starting to come through. The problem is that I'm under the impression that I don't have enough room for it. =\ You see, I have abnormally large teeth, and have already had 6 surgically removed (several of which were adult teeth) when I was 9, and another two adult teeth removed when I was 11. Even now, there's not much room in my mouth. So naturally, it's quite painful! :sneaky2:

 

Apparently it is released earlier in Japan too :blink:

I thought we (Aus) were getting it early as well...

 

Finally is a perfect word, :aah:

 

 

....my mommy.:teehee::blush-anim-cl:

Aw, hope you and your mommy have a great time! (BTW, I love your new sig! =])

 

Hi ! :bye:

Hi! :bye:

It's good if you can do all your downloading off peak.

I'm super jealous I wanted to go...

You would've loved it. :biggrin2:
