Melham - that's wonderful that your friend will knit you all those longies! how perfect - you get longies and she gives up the fags. Give a yell if you are stuck with the lanolising bit.

FJ - belly shot and longies are both gorgeous.

Beautrix - enjoy the new phone, hope your day at the Royal Show goes well tomorrow. My jaw is STILL on the ground about the 71 icons! I have struggled to find FIVE!!! I found the one at the Cloth Pad SHop, but the icon went to an error page. I sent an email to the website but havne't gotten a reply yet.

KAZBAH - i wonder what name we can give to post from mama cloth shops - wot about "Mama mail"?

LIL PRECIOUS - sorry to hear about James' double ear infection and your nasty cold - it wears you down doesn't it?

SKITTLEBUB - is it you who wants ideas of nappies to buy your one month old? Are you getting pootainment for ALL styles of nappies at this stage, or just the fitteds with covers? Do you want to know about sales on for any of the MCN you already have? Cos Nurture Nappies have Bumgenius AIO's on sale right now. I wasn't sure if YOUR BG's were aio's or pockets.

NELLE - "only" going to have three? LOL, that doesn't sound like "only" to me! Good on you. Three sounds like a lovely number to me.

ALIOOPS - are you leaving your current accomodation Monday, or going to Townsville on Monday? wow, it's all happening for you. so exciting but i bet heaps of work too. I would use nappies on the plane, so if an accident happens, less embarrassment. I guess you have to expect some regression when kids are unsure of stuff. I bet the sun / outdoor lifestyle of where you're going , will be much more conducive to TT-ing anyhoo, it'll work out.

Glad you and the girls had a good time with B today, wish i could have been there too.

ME; due to the cold hard light of reality and money, bilby and i won't be coming to the Sept 13th meetup in Melbourne (big sigh), i really had my heart set on this, but i was obviously dreaming and being a bit unrealistic. I was sooooo looking forward to meeting heaps of you IRL, and your bubs. Thanks for the offers of airport pickups and accommodation, much appreciated, sad i can't take you up on them now.
