BabyCakes has been given a deposit for his car. They guy who gave him the money has had his Mum and his Dad around to look at the car. They say the money will be in the bank on Thursday or Friday.
I won't be able to relax till I see the money in the account. Once bitten, twice shy.
We had our first money "discussion" on the weekend. It was weird.
BabyCakes' car is still sitting out the front on the street. The good news is that in the past two days 3 people have been to see it, and more have registered interest. The most exciting news is the young guy that came tonight is bringing his Mum back to look at it tomorrow morning.
Cross your fingers (and anything else you can think of) in hopes that we might be able to sell it sometime soon.
I would rather the money in a bank account to go towards our wedding!
For those of you that know me, feel free to go here and tell me how you see me :) Feedback can be given anonymously...

This one is the not so nice side of things (but equally as interesting - I guess there will be a few more anonymous ones there ;))

It's been a while since I posted. For a number of reasons. We've had some very busy weekends, mostly socialising with family.
We've been trying to sort out the finer details of the engagement party, and tie down some of the arrangements for the wedding.
Tomorrow night we meet with a wedding co-ordinator at our venue of choice. Hopefully we can confirm a menu and book everything in.
I found a very cool piece of software the other day called iDo couples edition. It is a piece of software to keep track of all the bits and pieces that go to making up a wedding... well most of the bits. I would like a little more detail/customisation to truly rave about it, but I'm picky like that! It has a 30 day free trial of it, which is how I have been using it. I think I will be purchasing the key though, unless I can find a better piece of software before then....
Today my brother, who has recently come back from the U.S., told me his wife of four and a half years told him she did not plan to join him in Australia.
He's recently moved up to Rockhampton, having organised a job and a house, expecting that his wife and child would join him soon. Seemingly his wife did not expect him to do so well in providing these necessities and was almost upset when he called to tell her.
What this also means is that my brother misses out on seeing his son and given that he cannot go back to the U.S. for some time, doesn't have much opportunity to see him unless his (now estranged) wife brings the child to him.
I'm saddened for my brother and my thoughts are with him in this frustrating and devastating time.
Unfortunately, I'm not surprised that this is where things have got to. The longer my brother was without them, the easier it was going to be for her to not make the move. Shocking as it is.
My big brother has decided to start a blog (and continue it hopefully!) His blog is listed in the "Blogs I read" link section, and can also be found by channeling the Ramblings of Raoul.
He's a funny guy with a very um, unique persepective on the world. Reading our blogs together might shed some light on how/why we turned out the way we did! :P - Or it might not!
I'm looking forward to reading more about what is happening in his life - he's in the process of planning a wedding too (or at least his fiancé is!), he's starting his own business and has a 9-5 job as well. Should be a lot of blog fodder!
If you've got some time to watch silly movies, these are fun :)
