Hi everyone, thanks for the welcome.
I have been tough on my 2 older kids these holidays, they have more time at home so I figured they have more time to help me!! I think they realise that the more they help me to get things done the more chance we have of getting out of the house to do some fun stuff. Does anyone else find school holidays expensive?? We have done the movies, ice skating, bought books to read and been out to lunch. I'm sure school fees(and mine go to private school) are cheaper than what I spend on holiday activities!

Jesabell - what a beautiful name.

Coolabahdee-the photo of your kids are gorgeous, I really dont know how well I would cope if my husband had to go away for long periods. You must be one organised mum!!

Jo - I have heard some great success stories regarding vas reversals - glad to hear your sammy is one of them.
