hi Justine ,welcome to the org and a happy new year to you and your family.

they can help you. if i can find out any more i will contact you here. good luck johno

If your anywhere near Halkirk, try the sawmill there, not sure if Yogi is still there, and I forgot the owners name I used to know him, they would regularly bring lodgepole back from the forestry, they might be able to cut you a deal.

[justine]

THanks to Johno,Dark Angel, Jeemag, We live in wick so i suppose now my man will have me going to halkirk to see if we can find some logs.Although i would like to have some directions to rumster forrest as i have no idea where it is. How far from wick is it, or as i have found out in the last three years that there is nowhere close to wick, but thats why we moved here for the peace and quiet to raise the kids, all eight of them, If anyone can suggest anywhere good to take the tribe im listening. justine

[justine]

You could take them on a day trip to the new Tesco

[Piglet]

Gee Whiz you are a saint if you have 8 kids & you want more,:eek: i have 3 & it is more than enough but have to agree with you when the weather turns tho you will hardly have the kids in the house.

Welcome to the org & happy posting.:Razz

[DarkAngel]

Oh wow 7 girls and 1 boy. U must really like kids if your trying fro two more, Well done you tho. There is lots to do when the weather gets warmer but when the weather is like this there aint much to do apart from watch the television, And this years Xmas / New year tele has been rubbish. U must be goin mad..Unless u have pleanty kids DVDs or games :D

[Alice in Blunderland]

Good on you Justine and welcome. I have four girls and one boy and have made no secret that I would have loved more children but a DVT with my last pregnancy halted any thoughts of more kids ( more chance of DVT after a few pregnancies so they told me ;) ). Happy posting.

[DarkAngel]

Sorry that u didnt have a good pregnancy Alice..But im confused what is a DVT?

[young]

DVT is deep vein thrombosis. i think it is when you get a blood clot in your veins( i.e. legs) and it can be fatal if this (blood clot) travels through your body. I am sure you may have heard about it when people travel on long haul flights and are not moving their legs enough and the can develop DVT.

[cuddlepop]

Hi Justine Happy New Year to you and yours.
Happy posting and good luck with your logs.:D

[justine]

Hi DA, we at 22, you must have seen us all out in the summer.Has the cat surfaced yet,if not i will keep eyes open for him.Let me know where you at and i will return him to you if he shows up.Know what its like when one goes missing.justine

[DarkAngel]

No i didt see you in the summertime...Mmm,,,I will be keeping my eyes open and peeled to see if i see ya out and about with you lovely girls and boy! lol.

It was Angel of Death's Cat that went missing not mine, I dont have a cat altought the next door neighbours cat is always here..End up feeding it the whole time, Little rascal got 2 homes lol!!

[justine]

Hi DA, soz about that ma head up ma butt. My hubby realised about 3 mins ago that i replied to the wrong one. Hope the neighbours cat finds his way home though, or we could end up looking for another.With this many kids it hard to think straight that why i normaly log in at night when they tucked up in bed, it easier.justine

[justine]

Hi alice in Blunderland, sorry you cant have any more, i think everyone shoukd have loads of kids they keep you young.What they havent told you is that you can have more pregnancies without getting dvt again.It can surface in a mother who is carrying her first as well as multiple pregnancies. In the medical world i am a grandma at this, i have had may problems, one twin pregnancy and still managed to have 8 healthy babies who are all growing well and becoming harder to handle, but hey it wouldnt be fun if there wasn't a challenge,justine

[DarkAngel]

Oh Justine yer a saint, But hey if its what ya love. Im defo having more kids Ive got 1 boy who is 6 months old and a little angel..He can be a handful sometimes but with more kids they can help and give the attention to the Younger kids.

Its ok head up butt thing...Im constantly like that 24/7!!:lol:

Thanx Young for letting me know what it is..I now know.Cheers!

[justine]

Hi Da, soz but i am about to burst that bubble, they dont help as they get older believe me.Mine are 16,12,8,4,twins at 3,2 and 1 and the youngest are easier to deal with, atleast they dont answer back.Hope you little lad is better behaved than mine.He squeals like a girl most of the time, but then in a house where there are so many dominant females, i suppose he has the right. Cant wait for his voise to break though, he is higher pitched than all the others put to gether, but dont let that thought put you off, the more the merrier.I wouldnt change mine, i just dont want another boy.Took me 6 kids to get him and i would put him back if i could but cant do that.justine

[DarkAngel]

Oh Nooooooo....Thanx for that info!!! Wow u must be soooo busy..with School, Nursery, Playgroup..Ur a supermum http://i49.photobucket.com/albums/f257/skye5454/Blinkies%20June%204-06/supermom.gif

[justine]

I wouldnt say i was super mum just daft.Life wouldnt be the same without them though.The only thing i miss is the time to relax and go out with ma hubby. Do you know any where good to go in wick.

[DarkAngel]

Do you mean for a meal or for a good drink?

Well the Mackays Bistro is lovely for food, Then there is the Yard Now known as Zeros for a drink..Can get busy but good crack..

The French Restaurant is lovely..Mmm Their steaks are Yummmmy!! Always the Good Old Camps for a sing on the Karaoke .. hehe

[justine]

Hi DA, Cheers for that, i was meaning a meal and maybe a drink as i dont drink, last time i had a good un, my kids seen me being carried in by the feet and hands.Wont be doing that for a while but half a bottle of southern comfort tasted real good. Might give the French one a try. Am not up for the loud bars as there enough noise going on in this place to last a lifetime.Is there anywhere out of wick that has a quiet atmosphere and a good meal.justine. How do you insert a pic into a message, been trying but it wont work, any handy hints am a novice at this, cant you tell?.....

[Alice in Blunderland]

Smiddy Inn Thrumster is a great place for food and the restaurant area is lovely and peacefull. The chips are 'real' and the steak is excellent so is the steak pie, the lasagne, the fish ooohhh I could go on and on and if you make it out give me a call Im in the first house beside the pub Ive claimed squaters rights in Weeboyagees house with all my kids :eek: .

Hi johno, Like to say thanks for your help, even though i have no idea where rumster forrest is can you help me with directions.jusitne
Hi Justine if you go to Lybster, just go through it and take a right turn ,i think it ,s marked Rumster Forest. Go along that road for a couple of miles & you will see their base on the right. it will have some machinery so you cant miss it.
Or when you get to Lybster just ask at the Portland Arms, they will keep you on the right track. and oh Justine the natives are friendly they will help you .
But they are sure to be in the phone book under forestry.
good luck, Johno
:)

[DarkAngel]

The Smiddy Inn in thrumster is gorgeous and its a lovely Quiet pub, The food is all homemade and its massive portions!!:D
