hopefully this works here's some pics, two of Rose, one of Grace showing how happy she is to have a little sister...

Hi again, The reason I was online so soon was because of how smoothly it all went. Waters broke around 8am, went to the hospital at 10.30am, they said go away for a little while around 11.45am, we went to have some lunch, finished pasta around 1pm, pains got a bit stronger, Rose born at 4pm...

Hi y'all - I was never a prolific poster here, but made the odd one - just thought I'd let you all know that the equal best investment I've ever made had its pay-off today with my second little girl bouncing into the world at 4pm. Weighed almost 9 pounds, she did. And so cute. Got a little...

hi gooram Gooram, Mate, I work in the television industry - it's perhaps frightening to know that the people they interview in current affairs TV are not actors. They are real... perhaps all too real. I did not see the Money program, but I seriously doubt they were actors. Cheers, R...

ditto to what topcropper said

yes I'm happy for someone else to have my organs - I used to give blood too but haven't for quite some time

strange photo Hi rogue, Now if you're referring to the microwave on top of the telly, I think it's a great idea.You can give a meat pie a zap while watching the footy, and not miss a thing, heat up a meal while catching up on all the day's news etc etc. I dips me lid to the occupier...

I'm flying out on Friday to Germany for all the first round matches, then on to Wimbledon after that. All for work. Bewdy. r

Hi, I'm asking this question on behalf of a friend. She's a journalist who bought a house in Perth in 2000 when she was with the ABC over there. She bought with the intention of living in it, but was posted to Melbourne after purchasing, so she decided to rent it out. It ended up being...

I reckon ebay's great We bought some flooring and decking at Gray's Auctions in Melbourne (utility grade stuff) then changed our mind after we'd forked out $3000 (cost + delivery fee) Decided to put it on ebay and made nearly $900 profit!! Enough to get the chainsaw we desperately need to keep...

In defence of my media colleagues, it sounds like it would have been a light hearted topic of banter on the MMM morning show, which is hardly serious or hard hitting. I wouldn't take it too seriously, and I doubt a journo would have been behind it, more likely to be on of the "comedians" who...

Hi there Just wanted to publicly acknowledge the fine work by Rolf Schaefer here in Melbourne. He looked after my refinancing recently, and despite some hiccups with the bank in question, promptly and efficiently smoothed everything out. Big thumbs up from me for Rolf! Cheers Jamie

I wouldn't underestimate the ability of Guus Hiddink to do great things with this bunch of players. They are better than the South Korea side he took to the 2002 finals. I don't want to get ahead of myself, but Australia will be doing more than simply making up the numbers - we have some real...

Now, I'm not a worrier, and this hasn't been keeping me awake at night, but I drive an hour to and from work and with all the time on my hands I was giving this issue serious thought this morning, since an item on the radio saying the Vic govt had been talking to crematoriums and cemeteries to...

great work Peter, many congrats.

Howdy y'all, I sold 4 IPs that were all financed via 5 yr fixed interest loans with Westpac- the 5 yrs was due to come up in July/August 2008. Rate on 2 of them was 6.19%, rate on the other 2 was 6.39%. I rang Westpac earlier this year because I wanted to know whether break costs would...

At the time (mid-2003) my now-wife and I were building quite a large barn (14 square, 2 level, rendered etc etc) at our 60 acre property and saving for our wedding (we were married in the aforementioned barn - it seemed like a good excuse to build a shed)... I don't regret doing either ;)...

sorry, have meant to update this thread for a couple of weeks - too busy changing nappies!! Settled on Alexandra Street a few weeks ago for $155k, and Burnett Street for $130k. I'd settled on them in August 2003 for $105k and $84k respectively. I didn't spend a cent on either of them in that...

wessy, just wondering what parts of melb you target, being a victorian myself - not specific suburbs - just a north/south/east or west will do... so many properties in 2 years - well done. cheers r

Howdy all Thanks for the kind messages, both public and private... Good looking little bloke you've got there Michael - I'll be telling Grace to look out for any Aden Whytes if she heads up to Sydney for a wild weekend in 20-25 or so years!! Hopefully our respective empires will have grown...
