i'd LOVE to be able to do that tash - but at the moment, i'm having to rely on the public system - thankfully the gyne i'm seeing is one of the best in the area (rep wise) and the one that has chosen to bulk bill.

DH isn't working due to his eyes failing, and i'm only working part time (cos i need time off for all the crap going on in my life - it's easier to be flexible with days and swap them and still get paid, rather than taking lwop and making life difficult for us later due to poor work performance) - our budget is so tight i'd have to sell a kidney to do anything (and no one would buy it cos my body is so screwed up!)
