     Topic: Big News! (And no, Im not pg!)     Posted: 29 May 2006 at 9:49am | 
 
 
  
   
   
   Well, I'll just spit it right out!  We've decided to stop TTC, and put a baby on our 2 year plan.  
 
It all started last week, when I quit my job.  A few days later a friend contact me and said he'd put my name in the hat for a PA role and for me to send my CV in.  I wasn't interested and just dropped the person an email saying that I'd been told about the position by person x who had talked to her about me, that I had a background in legal and that if she wanted to contact me.  Well, the next day she had me in for an interview.  I don't know if I'll get the job - I want it, but I don't need it.  But, I am still really excited about my possibilites now, and we've decided to live life for ourselves a bit longer.  Al was afraid that I was using a baby to get out of my job, which I hate, and he might be right to a small extent.  Ultimately, we both want to be selfish for a bit longer, and I'm only 27, so we can be ...and, of course, maybe level a bit more of a hit at the mortgage which'll come in handy!
 So, there you go!  Woah!

   Wow!  If that's what is right for you at the moment, then good on you for making such a difficult decision.  I hope you'll still hang around here!  We need nutty people like you and me

   Good luck with the job Ginger. It will be a weight off your mind to stop TTC for a while I'm sure.  Keep us up to date with your news!

Yay Ginger. Honey do whatever is going to make you happy (do note i didnt say sane LOL) and you never know what is round the next corner. Good Luck sending lots of Job vibes your way. & If you do stop TTC you better stick round otherwise I will hunt you down & bop you over the head with your ladel (and if you wont give that one to me I will do it with my own  ORDINARY black handled one   )

   Oi!  I think I'd rather be bopped with my own ladle Binkas Mum     I'm a woman of style after all    
The job hunt is proving interesting - I've applied for everything from HR assistant at Nestle to a file manager with the NZ Police     I'm just kind of chucking my CV at anything that looks interesting!  Well, within reason - I have an interview on Tuesday, and I sent out 3 job applications today.  Now it's just wait and see!!
