mummy25.....i can totally hear where you are coming from.....everything just seems to be going up and up, but the wages don't go up and up to cover the cost of living.....well i have had a very busy week with taking my son to his MRI earlier in the week then had a phone call Wednesday morning to take my daughter into hospital yesterday for surgery on her mouth and her bad infection, and now she is home resting up.....last week with all the floods up here, dh car got caught in a flash flood on his way home, and killed our car, and cost us hundreds to repair it.....tonight we are heading down to Brisbane to the Hoggs Breath for a birthdy party for dh's best mates birthday......so i am goign to enjoy a few hours of not havign to think about anything......kiya
