mildez...you could try the ABA. When my pump died I managed to get a hire pump through the local branch just down the road here by ringing the central number. they have local organisers in most towns that have hire pumps....it was just a lady's house I went to in order to get it at a few hours notice. That might tide you over till you can get one online....it kept me going until I managed to buy one from the ABA retail wesbite.....mothersdirect I think it is called.....if you join the ABA you get a discount in the retail store and it saved me a bit of dosh that way.

And yes it does suck espesh in those first few weeks when you just have to try not think further ahead than the next session otherwise it does your head in!! But it does get easier, you do get into a routine and even able to plan outings and stuff...if you get a good pump like the freestyle you can even go out and take it with you.....I lost count of the number of times I pumped in the car!!
