Heidi and Debbie

Thanks Debbie!! Having a few days on Bruny sounds nice. The Invitiation was just via a Facebook event so should still be there but all good! Thanks for letting us know! It will be great to have you there

Hi Dale and Heidi.
How are you both? We are just having a few quiet days on Bruny this week which is just what we need.
I saw the invitation for Leif's birthday, then promptly lost it. No idea where I saw it!
So, I'm letting you know....we will be there! Debbie and Russell (probably Zoe too!) X

Fantastic! Thanks for replying so quickly!

Hi Heidi
At this point in time, that sounds perfect. We'd love that. Pencil us in!

Hey Debbie!! Christmas is approaching lightning fast so we thought we should get in touch about a time to catch up between Xmas and new year!! We are not sure when you are coming back from Bruny but Ross and Bradley will be here until the 27th and 28th. We were wondering if you might like to come over for coffee / afternoon tea on the 27th as that’s the date ross heads home but Bradley will still be here. No stress if you guys are busy though

Ok. Sleep in! I will too!

Yep that’s fine. Probably 11.30 is better :)

Hi Heidi and Dale
Are you home Saturday morning around 11 or 11.30 for a visit? At this stage, Zoe and Nataliea are free!

Ok see you then :)

Ok. I'll be around tomorrow. 3ish. X

Oh sure that’s fine! Next weekend is also fine though. Sorry didn’t see this until now :)

Actually, I'll just come out myself around 3 tomorrow. Love to see the 3 of you. X

We'd love to this weekend but it might be easier next Saturday morning. Is that ok?

:)

You sure you didn’t want to do this weekend? That’s fine though yea :$

Don't apologise. Everyone is busy. Its hard to coordinate busy people. How about next weekend. Saturday morning around 11? Maybe Nataliea will be with us too.

Thank you! Sorry to be a pain

I'll check with Zoe and let you know. X

Hey Debbie would it actually be ok if we made it slightly later (I.e 3?) or otherwise 2pm Sunday? I have something to go to in the city tomorrow at 11 and might be pushed to be home by 2 when I think about it!!

Excellent. See you then. X

that sounds nice!

yep of course :)

Hi Heidi and Dale
Even though Nataliea is unable to visit tomorrow, is it still fine for Zoe and I to drop in around 2 for an hour or so?

You're welcome! So looking forward to meeting Leif!.

Thank you :)

Sure!

Ok. And maybe chocolate....🙂

Sorry for late response. I think we’re doing burritos. No need to bring any food. Maybe just something you might like to drink?

Ok. I bet Michelle's grinning from ear to ear!

5.30 is great! No idea what we’ll be making or anything yet but we will let you know :)

Thats perfect. Is 5.30 ok?
What food or drink can we bring?

Hey Debbie. Sorry for the late reply. We spoke to Michelle about this this evening and Thursday night for dinner should be fine. Probably early ish is best if that’s ok as Leif gets a lot more unsettled in the evenings. When would work for you? :)

Hi Dale and Heidi so looking forward to seeing you soon. Michelle mentioned us coming to visit and tea on Monday. That is fine, though Zoe can't come. Thursday night is fine for the 3 of us if that is preferred.
We also could arrange dropping in during the weekend if that's easier.
What ever works best for you both.
Hope everything is going well. Xx

Reacted ❤ to your message

Thats so good to hear, that Leif is a good baby, and that you're going well. We'll see you soon. Xx

Yea we are going well so far, he's a very good baby :) that's ok mum will be down on the 14th so not to far away , not having many guests ATM, just trying to sort a proper routine :)

Hi Dale and Heidi. I hope you are both settling into some kind of routine.
Even though I'm itching to see you both, and Lief, I think I'll wait until Michelle sees you first.
However, if you'd really like me to see you all to help out or for company, and that's important to you at the moment, I can come this weekend. Otherwise I'll see you in a couple of weeks. Xx

We completely understand. I'm so pleased we could see you both. I hope the nausea isn't too bad for you. Take care and we're thinking of you. You know you only have to ask....xx

Hi Debbie we won't be coming past sorry, Heidi's feeling very sick still, thank you for inviting us it was good to see everyone :) we hope to see you both again soon :)

Excellent. See you soon

Ok cool. We are on our way now. Should we meet you at the cafe

Jadzia leaves tomorrow night, Liam on Wednesday

Ok sounds good! I reckon it will be afternoon but will let you know! When does Liam leave?

How fabulous! We are booked at The Beachhouse at blackmans Bay at 1pm. So anytime. Either there or at our place. Xx

Hey Debbie. No baby yet - as you may have guessed. Where is lunch tomorrow? We can maybe try to drop by at the end or something just depending on how we go :)

Yes, that's what I thought. But just wanted to include you both. I'll keep in touch regarding maybe popping by with Liam and Jadzia to see you both. Yes, we'll play it by ear. Xx

Hi Debbie, still waiting for the baby everything is going fine. Don't think we can lock in any plans at this stage sorry it would be good to see Liam and jadzia but we might just have to playing by ear ? Heidi should be due this Friday :)

Its me again. I'm not sure if you'd like to do this, but we're going out to lunch on Sunday. You're welcome to join us. Blackmans Bay 'the beach' at 12.30. Xx

Hi Heidi and Dale. Just checking in, and hoping all is still going smoothly. Thinking of.you. Liam and Jadzia are here this weekend. Maybe we can see you on the weekend. I'll be in touch if it suits you. X

Reacted ❤ to your message

We did enjoy ourselves. I'm sorry I didn't get a photo of everyone though. X

Photos look really good thank you :) I hope you had a good time :)

Booked for tomorrow at 7pm under Heidi :)

Excellent. Looking forward to seeing you both. X

No worries. I’ll book for 7

I'm sorry, forgot to let you know! Zoe might be late, as she has an appointment, so 7 will be better for her. Thank you for offering to book. We'll see you there. X

How did you go Debbie? I’m happy to call and book a table. Would 6.30 or 7 ish work? :)

Sounds good!

We haven't been to shipwrights arms for a while. Perfect. I'll see if Zoe's available too!

Ok how about shipwrights arms or de Angelo’s ? :)

Thanks Debbie that sounds great! ill have a think about a venue

Tuesday for dinner sounds lovely. Why don't we meet somewhere. Make the most of going out! We are happy for you to choose somewhere you feel comfortable to eat. Xx

We could have you here if you like. or meet somewhere

Hey Debbie. Probably cant do tonight now sorry! Ive booked some appointments for late this afternoon this evening as we didnt have anything on. Ive just had a look at calendars and we should be able to do tuesday or wednesday for dinner though if either would work for you? (Ideally Tuesday)

Good morning Dale and Heidi.
So sorry to muck you around. Our plans this evening have been cancelled. I know its late notice so completely understand, but if you'd like us to catch up with you, we're now free. Completely understand if you've made other plans. Xx

Good to know. I’ve definitely been wanting salty things pretty much all pregnancy

When I had leg cramps, sometimes I found salt on potato chips helped! Really!

Not other than being in back pain and getting lots of leg cramps!

And no lol

No worries!!

Thank you! I searched Facebook and found the invite! So ill send them to her now. Hope you are going well, and assume there is no news! 🙂

I’m not sure what she’s doing with them

Or to me and I can pass on

I think send to Miranda :)

Hi Heidi and Dale. I've just remembered I need to send a baby photo for next weekend, but I'm not sure where to send it, or if I just bring it. I have zoes too. X

Ok. Thats fine. If I see a window of opportunity I'll let you know. X

We will both be working sorry

Of course! Are you home on Friday? I'm still on holidays and could drop in to say hello during the day.

Hi I just talked to dale and that doesn’t work either unfortunately. How about one night for dinner the following week? We might need to play it by ear though in case baby comes early!

Sunday is absolutely perfect. Whatever time suits you. Would you like to meet somewhere for a cuppa, or lunch, come to our place, or we visit you?
We are very amenable!

The 1st

Oh no worries!! We could do Sunday

Hi Heidi
We'll be on Bruny Wednesday night, and Friday is possibly out too. However, we are available ALL weekend!
Is there any time that suits you? As early or as late as you like. X

Hey Debbie I just had a look at our calendar and Wednesday or Friday night should work for us if you’d still like to catch up this week? :)

That sounds good! And thank you :)

Sounds wonderful. Maybe next week? I'm on holidays so I have some options. I'll ring when I get back.
Don't be anxious...its pretty amazing how you'll just know what to do.
Happy to help in any way if needed. X

If they hang in there for a few weeks we should try to catch up before baby comes!

Hey Debbie sorry for the delayed response!! We’ve been flat out. Everything is going pretty well though. It’s definitely getting close and feeling the pressure of baby sitting right on my bladder lol. It’s a bit anxiety provoking but I’m sure we will be OK!

Hi Dale and Heidi
How are you both? I'm thinking of you. I heard that the baby is engaged, and hope everything is going to plan.
I'm at Michelle's for a couple of days, home Friday.
I hope to see you both soon. Xx

I think that's the best. Zoe is isolating at our place for a few days, starting today, as her housemate is positive. We've had no contact with Zoe so thats good. So I think we'll be on Bruny for longer. We are both ok, and hope you both are too. Its not a calm time, but things will improve. We'll come over when everything is safer and more settled. Take care. Xx

Hi Debbie, we just want to play it safe this weekend if that's ok? Can we post pone untill later ? Hope you both are ok :)

But yep that sounds good

It sounds like it will probably be ok then :)

I've stayed on Bruny since Friday but Russell had to go into Kingston, and a few places in hobart etc today and yesterday, so I don't know if any will be sites. He would have been careful. Maybe we'll see what the situation is like by Friday or Saturday. X

Thanks Debbie! Have you been to any exposure sites? If not it should be ok, but if you have that might be best

Hi Dale and Heidi
I'm wondering if you'd prefer us to postpone visiting you on Sunday. As disappointed as I'd be, I'd hate for either of you to get sick if we unknowingly passed covid onto you.

Great! :)

Haha! Holidays, I don't have a clue what day is what! Sunday the 9th is good.

We were definitely aiming for the Sunday haha

Would the 9th work? I just realised the 10th is a Monday lol

Thanks Debbie that sounds great. We’ll have a think and let you know. :)

Happy New Year to you both too. The 10th would be wonderful! We are on Bruny until the 4th, hiding from people!
What can we bring? Nibbles, salad?

Hi Debbie, Happy New year :)
what day suits you both for dinner at ours does the 3rd or 10th sound good ?

No worries at all! Glad you like them :)

We've just opened our gifts. Thank you both very much. They were thoughtful gifts. Xx

Haha, you can open it and send another photo! 🙂

We forgot to give you your card sorry!

We noticed a parcel in your letterbox. Lovely to see you both. X

No worries :)

We are on our way!

That should be fine , not sure if U have our new address but it's 5 laverack court Austin ferry :) Merry Christmas to you all

We'll drop by in the morning. Probably around 10, if that's OK. Will text closer to the time. X

Oh that’s great!

Yay!! Luggage returned!

Perfect! We'll see you then.
So do I!

I hope you get your luggage back!

That should be fine Debbie! We will be home until the evening anyway :)

We're still waiting on news about luggage. So will it be inconvenient if we dropped in tomorrow morning on our way to bicheno? We have a couple of gifts here, for you and fingers crossed about my luggage!

Reacted ❤ to your message

Reacted ❤ to your message

Will do.

Hope you test goes well, that is a shame :( keep us in the loop if that's ok ?

Hi, am in line for covid. My bag didn't arrive, so I'm waiting for when they ring to say it comes in. Your gifts are in it.... so we'll see what happens!

That should be fine, I'm only half the day so I'm free when ever, if you want to meet at the new house or where ever just let us know :)

Yes, I think i have to have a covid test at glenorchy that afternoon so we can drop them in after? At the moment I don't have to isolate or anything after the covid test. I'll contact you Friday, when I arrive?

Hi Debbie :), just got back from Launceston. what are your movements on the 24th, Mum said she was giving you some presents from her to us to bring down ? We have some presents to give you and Russel also :)

Early new years - perfect. We'll be in touch. X

Thanks for letting us know debbie. That all sounds lovely. Unfortunately Dale and I actually leave on the 27th to do a short trip ourselves haha, so the timing doesn’t cross over well. We come back New Year’s Eve so perhaps early new years would work well - the 2nd or 3rd or something? I don’t think Mitchell has confirmed yet as he’s still working things out but he planned to come for a couple of weeks so should still be around then :)

Hi Dale and Heidi
So lovely to hear from you, have been thinking of you often. I return Xmas eve, then Zoe, Russell and I are going up the coast until 27th. So after that would be fabulous. How long is Mitchell staying?

Hi Debbie. How are you? We are just wondering when you get back from Canberra as we wanted to ask you Russell and Zoe over for dinner at our new place before or after Christmas. Mitchell might be coming to stay with us so it would be nice to catch up
