Hi gang!

Well I see Tiff has had her babies, wow! Imagine having 2 sets of twins, what a legend.

Suzie yes it is hard having Angus & the twins so close together, but I have my DH Lindsay home with me all the time so it’s not so hard, and the older girls help with the babies too. Hmm, might look in to Chrisco for next year, but really it’s mostly meat and veg that we have to buy, & nice fruit, & whiskey for my Irish cream. I’ll have to have a look at what they’ve got.

Michelle I see you had fun at Ikea. Still haven’t started our shopping, but planning planning planning, lol. That’s great that Jordan makes her own lunch. Lola has only done it a couple of times. She’s pretty good with her room though, not like Ruth who requires constant reminders. Still deliberating about having more bubs I see, lol. I hear you with the money thing. I’ve got to find a way of putting it away for stuff that’s not monthly bills like car maintenance & Christmas & clothes for the kids. I’m thinking of getting someone to make a new password for my ING account and not tell me what it is, but I know my mum would cave too easily, lol.

Mitch & Dee, thanks for stopping in.

Jo, hi. I’m making the effort to try to catch up too, so will see you in the August babies thread. Bugger about the cold. Angus has a slightly runny nose again, but I think he’s fighting it off nicely.

Michelle C, how are you managing with the little aths and swimming and carols etc with little Ashleigh? There’s so much on this time of year. Still, when they’re that young they’re easier to take around with you because they sleep so much. Bugger about the reflux. My bubs are very chucky babies too; DH keeps fussing about it but I just tell him all the kids have been chucky, and just look how much still comes out the other end and how well they’re growing, so not to worry. I’m just used to having a permanently soggy left shoulder and lots and lots of laundry.

Well, I almost have the Christmas shopping list sorted & budgeted, but how are we going to actually go shopping, lol? Better get that organized. A few early naps for Angus so we can do it in stages while the big girls are still at school.

Big coffee table is covered in laundry, but most of it is folded.

Seems both Angus & the cats have learned to take advantage of me breastfeeding, especially when Lindsay isn’t around, and choose that time to get up to no good…grrrrr
