lol you will get in trouble for posts like that.
I will be breif as its too painful to sit for long. I put my back out on Saturday morning. It got gradually worse as the day went on til I could barely move without being in excruciating pain.
Thankfully I borrowd a TENS machine

Rach I hope that your back gets better soon darl, that must be awful. I hope you can work something out with your couch, I take it Milo is still getting up to mischief.
Well,DH brought up the idea of having another bub a couple of days ago.
I'm just really unsure of whether he wants to go again because he still wants a girl, or because he wants more children.

Rach i have the same issue with stomach seperation. I have got it down to 2 fingers by wearing a brace the physio gave me (not wearing it now) and doing some exercises. Its not likely to ever repair itself though. I think you should certainly give thought to whether you both want another child or a girl????? I agree crazy to keep going back till you get a girl, may never happen.
As for me just finished a full onday at work, didnt even get to eat lunchso got home at 4 and made some sandwiches. The boys went to a bday party today, so annoyed they are usually on a saturday as i always miss out
Are we still on for dinner friday 21st? Where did you guys want to go?
I wont be able to come to dinner. Our experiment with having the boys babysat was a disaster. DS2 it seems is happy to have EBM during the day but not at night. He refused to drink form the time my parents got there (5:30) until we got home - 8:30. His previous feed was at 3 and he normally clsuter feeds inthe evening so it was not good. He is being a very clingy booby boy today too as a result
Tracey I hate missing parties - a lot of the ones DS1 is invited to are on weekdays so even in the event he can go I rarely can.
DHa nd DS1 went to the footy and DS1 turned the lights on in the car and flattened the battery so they are stuck there until the racv rescue them.

I( cant wait for dinner fri night,Racheal i certainly wont protest if you want to bring oscar along!
Cindy its you call where we meet,i am flexible and am happy to make it for 8.30,that way i can help grant get all the kids settled before i leave.
I think docklands and south bank sounds great.
Rach! Cant believe they got a flat battery - I am sure we can handle oscar coming to dinner - he is only tiny....
Nikki- how exciting! so what will your hours be now?
With regards to time etc you guys decide and then we al and i will work around it!
The pub at docklands is great though, near the big ferris wheel which no longer works!- went there with Nicky a few months back - should i see if she is free for dinner too?
Its not so much that as he's in a nice routine of being asleep between 8-8:30 - that took almost 7 months with DS1 so we're trying to keep to it as much as normal.
So until I can get him to take EBM at night, Im going to be a very boring girl.
I have to go back to work on Nov 2 Maybe we can have some weekday catchups before then so I can still come along, I wont be able to wag work for a while once I go back.

Harder on grant but oh well thats what he wanted me to do.
Yes it would be great to see nicky again,can you go ahead and book for us then?????
The pub at docklands sounds great!! I'm can get there anytime...so bout 7.30pm sounds good yeah?? And yeah Cindy..the more the merrier!!!
Nikki..YAYAYAYAY last night shift!! You are going to be a new woman with proper sleep babe!!
Rach..bugger about Oscar not taking EBM at night...hope he guzzles it down soon...and maybe this wednesday or next we could pop over for a play??? It would be easier for us to come to you yeah?? Maybe you other girls could come too?? Sorry Rach..I'm just organizing!!! Let us know what you want to do ok...
All is well here....lovin being on my own and organizing myself much better..I love my time to myself and am feeling much more content in myself too...and just happier..so I know I have made the right decision..
Ok better go and get dinner done before I start work in half an hour!!!
I have put the invite out to nicky! I wont be able to catch up on a wednesday untill the school hols - i am not free at all during the week for the next month or so - got exams and essays to get done in any free time i have - except for today - i need a nanna nap! My eyes are heavy as after my weekend partying in the city....
Went to pink friday night and stayed in the city so had a few drinkies and then tupperware catalogue was launched sat and then had a tupper party on sunday to do!
Oh i am having a mary kay party at my place to help sally get started with it (will be her first party) so if you can make it come on over!! starting 7.30ish
Also I am having a shoe party on the 11th of sept - they are fantastic! you try on an choose the style and then choose your leather colour etc and then they make them specially for you! I think we are again starting 7.30 or 8 that night....
(i owe a few people parties!)
Shoe party sounds great I wish I could come!
family assistance made an mistake when they explained what FTB A we coud get for DS1 for the 08-09 financial year and they overstated the amount - by $1600. So we are now budgeting everything to the cent and should just scrape thru til I go back to work but will be tricky as DHs band has just booked a tour fo 4 states and he's only paid airfares for 2 legs of it so far so hes not sure whats happening there an whether he will have to call it off.
Ah well such is life.
