Just realised I haven't finished week three's assignment ; a blog entry about anything technology related.
I don't usually like to admit that I've made friends on the internet. I worry that people will think I'm a desperado or something!!! But the amazing world of technology has led me to some of my most wonderful friends.
When I was a new mum, at home with a baby and a three year old, I 'googled' upon the Huggies website -complete with a forum full of other 'stay at home mums' from all over Australia and New Zealand. I joined the forum and began participating..(it was quite addictive!!). A group of about 20 of us decided to create our own msn group so we could chat and share photo's of our kids in a private forum.
Three and a half years later and our group is still going strong. The "Melbourne Mums" have become great friends and meet regularly. And in May 2006, we had a 'mega-meet' on the Gold Coast with attendees from Victoria, SA, NSW, QLD and New Zealand. Our story even made the nightly news and featured in New Idea and in Australia's Parents magazine. And a photo of our group heads the Huggies website (see above pic - I'm the one giving the royal wave!!)
