			<description><![CDATA[ I went to see Hilltop Hoods on friday night, had the best night in a long time. They sounded great, I danced up a storm and just let loose.
<br>
<br>
I went with M, though he sat down a lot of the time as he has a hernia that he&#39;s waiting to get treatment for, so standing for prolonged periods can take
it&#39;s toll on him.
<br>
<br>
So I&#39;m dancing around, enjoying myself and I draw the attentions of a few men in the crowd..... at one point M comes over like he&#39;s staking his... ]]></description>

			<link>http://theoneparentfamily.yuku.com/topic/5461/t/School-uniform-WTF-.html</link>
			<description><![CDATA[ I just looked at the school uniform price list and noticed this note: &quot;<strong><em><font face="ArialNarrow,BoldItalic">Only Even Sizes can be
supplied</font></em> <font face="ArialNarrow">(ie. no size 5 or 7 for example)&quot;
<br>
<br>
WTF?!
<br>
<br>
Is it too much to ask to get a uniform that somewhat fits? Size 4 is going to be short for Ella but there is no way in hell I am sending her to school in size
6 clothes which will be waaaay too big for her! I&#39;m pretty peeved at not... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ Ella got an information pack from the primary school. On a few pages it introduced all the key people like the principal, deputy principal etc. The
introductions were all written in the same format and for each person it had the line &quot;<em>Ms X is your friend, she will help you at the
school</em>&quot;.
<br>
<br>
When I read that line for the second person, Ella interrupted and asked: &quot;Why does it say that they will be my friend? Why can&#39;t I decide for myself
if they&#39;re going... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ Well ds&#39;s dad just arrived unexpectedly and demanded to take ds with him -  encouraged ds to say hello to his dad, but then he ran into his bedroom and
started to cry. I attempted to discuss ds&#39;s current health situation - recovering from the operation as well as being ill (flu). &quot;dad&quot; was having
none of it - wouldn&#39;t talk, just shouted at me. He went to his car, then came back, banged in the door and demanded ds to go with him.

			<description><![CDATA[ Miss V has decided she wants to create a newspaper of only good news stories. When she asked me this morning how to write a newspaper article, I thought she
wanted help with writing words and sentences - actually she wanted to know how to put the sentences she had already written into article format. <img src="http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/eek.gif">
<br>
She has since looked up the publishers of our local newspaper and just sent them this email. The only thing I changed was her real... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ As I&#39;m still trying to do these starch-free diet, I made these a couple of times and they are really delicious. Also really easy, but they do take 1 hour
in the oven in total. A couple of my friends managed to persuade them to let them taste one (I guard them with my life as it&#39;s the only savory snack I can
eat!) and they loved them too.

<br>
Ingredients:
<br>
<br>
200g (2cups) almond flour
<br>
200g (2 cups) sharp cheddar

1 tsp baking soda

1tsp dried thyme

			<description><![CDATA[ One Second (the safe driving campaign) has been part of a driver education program for people convicted of drink driving since the beginning of the year. The
programs are 10, two hour sessions held one night a week and One Second runs one of those sessions in each program. When One Second came on board one of my
conditions was that people were not to repeat one of my sessions. If they&#39;d completed the One Second night before then they were not to do one again -
meaning repeat offenders... ]]></description>

US and Canada pretty soon, and there seem to be some great deals from Australia, especially with V Australia. But Hawaii looks outrageously expensive from what
I can see. ]]></description>

disposition!
<br>
It was a huge deal for him - bit scared etc before, never been to hospital before and he knew something was up!! He was great though, and the dentist was
fantastic with him - really pleased with the outcome. All up it cost about $3,600, but I will get some rebate from medicare and private health (not sure how
much yet). I... ]]></description>

keen to get out of there.  She was due on the 18th of November along with my sister-in-law.

I haven&#39;t heard anything since, but I just hope all is going well for her.  It is times like this where Mackay seems like a whole other world away.  I wish
I could be there for her.  Fingers crossed it all runs smoothly!  DD and I... ]]></description>

hadn&#39;t done it since! My new managers are a lot more careful about letting admin staff work outside of normal work hours and I didn&#39;t have access to
the backend. But now I have a citrix token which should allow me to log into my desktop remotely. I&#39;ll try it out tonight. I&#39;m quite excited about it
actually. And my manager even... ]]></description>

DH and I separated about six weeks ago after I found text messages on his phone of a flirtatious nature to a friend of mine. There doesnt seem to be anything
physical going on but there was ongoing suggestions and it was the straw that broke the camels back so I kicked him out.

Since then he has been going from nice guy to crazy guy and everything in between. He wants to come over to talk, if... ]]></description>

I&#39;m thinking about what I want to do next year once the girls start school career-wise. I know I have spent all that time at uni studying science and
enviro management, but to be honest I find myself not as passionate about it now I have kids.

I was looking in to community service type courses at tafe, I was thinking I&#39;d really like to get into some sort of family/parent advocacy type role,
helping separated family&#39;s. It&#39;s... ]]></description>
