Seriously! We bought load of timber decking through friends at a hugely discounted rate and they hired a truck to get it to their place. Mark drove it up to our house to get our share out and then it had to be returned at 2pm today to the hire place. Mark went to work today...so I had to drive the bloody thing down the freeway to the other side of the city!! The kids thought it was most cool, Mummy driving off in a bloody huge truck. Now it wasn't one of those little moving vans or anything, it was huuuuge, no idea why they let someone with a drivers license drive it. Surely someone should have some training before driving a few tonne through a city?? Anyway, a few hairy moments, including a wrong turn off South road and a detour through the suburbs and accidently putting it in reverse rather than 1st gear at the lights (imagine how the guy behind me must have been shitting himself when he saw my reverse lights on, rofl!) but I did it! Even better, I did it all frocked up for Mark's midyear work lunch. Imagine the faces of the truckies on the freeway when this chick drives past in a truck putting on lipstick hahaha! It was quite amusing, I got a few chuckling smiles :P Pretty happy to never do it again tbth!
Lunch was nice, thanks to jacobs australia. Have to say the Norwood hotel service sucked and the food was very average despite the inflated prices, lucky I wasn't paying! I could have done a better job myself!! But was nice to go out with the three monsters safely at home with Grandma. Really must do it again sometime, our 6th Wedding anniversary is in 2 short weeks. Thanks Mum!

Wow! Well done!
Woo hoo for driving a truck! We hired a 3 tonne truck to move house and I wouldn't even want to drive that! Ok I would, but I wouldn't due to fear lol.
Had a huge laugh at the picture of you all frocked up and driving it. Great stuff.
Fuck hey?! You have always been an inspiration to me, the way you just do things and trust they will turn out for the best, but this takes the cake. I don't think I will be jumping on the truck driving bandwagon.
The going out with DH without the children though, that I am working on...
haha, this one I was a little unsure of. As I drove out the drive way the truck kind of leaned forward and felt like it was tipping, I thought then, this could go *really* badly rofl! Was too late to pull out then. Even Mark kept saying are you sure you can do this?? Wish I'd gotten Mum to take a photo!
Going out kidless...one good point to having a baby that is used to being with other people although I did and do feel a tad awful leaving him for non essential stuff given how often I have to leave him for work and childcare.
I'm still yet to master even the *thought* of going out without Savannah. I went once when she was 5 months old to get waxed while she stayed at home with daddy. And I got a speeding ticket LOL!
Yeah I was the same with J Mel, I remember the first time I left him with Mark to do the groceries, he called me as I was finishing sounding stressed saying he'd been screaming since I left. I rushed home crying the whole time myself and it turned out he was fine but had woken grumpy and poor Mark just didn't know what to do, lol!
