    Oh wysiwyg. How's everything today?
    Not good - he has had a temp all day - and his eyes just look funny (nothing wrong with them but you know how they get when kids are ill - you can always see they are ill in their eyes) - he has requested BF on and off all day - have fed him several times but I hope I don't suffer for that tomorrow by it increasing my supply. He has been a bit off his food too. He will be in good hands with mum and is just a bad cold I think - just bad timing! He won't go to daycare tomorrow, and doesn't go on a Tuesday anyway maybe by Wednesday he will be over it - better in time for his real birthday.

    We had a birthday cake and candles but he was just so overwhelmed and tired that when we sang happy birthday he burst into tears - poor thing. Maybe we will have another fake birthday on Friday to make up for it.

    Hope he's better ASAP, hun.

    I'm planning on going back to work tomorrow. A bit nervous about it, still not feeling great, but can't put it off forever. Wish me luck!

    Hi ladies

    I've just come across this thread and was hoping to join in. I started working again a few months ago working part time but have now come back fulltime this week. My daughter does 2 days with the grandparents 2 days at creche and I work from home 1 day. Just wondering how you ladies go about planning your days. At the moment I get up about 5.30 to have a shower breakfast etc then I wake up my daughter and get her ready for her day. My husband does shiftwork so I cant count on him all the time. By 9 o'clock at night I'm exhausted.

    Happy for any tips that might help

    DH and I are considering using our Christmas prezzie money to hire some of the beautiful people from the melbourne asylum seeker resource centre's cleaning team to do every nook and cranny of the house ...

    Can't afford to do it generally, but maybe, maybe for Christmas!
