Mako - Did you get a fancy new phone??? iphone?? Ah well, I'll see for myself soon enough See you in 4 sleeps!!! LOL, just got a txt from you - get a move on guys! lol

Kelly - We still haven't found tenants for our place yet - my fault, I procrastinated over an applicatoin too long and by the time we decided to offer them the lease, they'd found another place...d'oh!! We are lucky that we have a bit of time up our sleeve to be paying both mortgage and rent, but we'd better find tenants very early in the new year or it's going to get stressful! Hope you get on top of the reflux asap, it completely changed D overnight and thankfully once it settled again (without medication, I actually think it was caused by strong antibiotics he had to take for an infection) he turned back into a dream baby.

Bun - Good luck finding a place! We finally got one and ironically it turned out to be our first choice! DH picked up the keys today and it's a lovely big place, much nicer than our place in Sydney so we are pretty happy I haven't actually seen it 'in the flesh' yet, only online so am a bit anxious to get up there and check it out - but that won't be till after xmas and our holiday so a while yet.

Michelle - Hope Lily had a wonderful birthday and you manage some happiness these holidays Thinking of you all as you approach another 'first'.

BW - Funnily enough, DH and I were just talking tonight and we are going to take L off dairy again. We've put him back on cow's milk since his bday about a month ago but we have noticed a change in his behaviour and our old nemisis 'sleep' is becoming an issue at night again so we are going to trial him back on lactose free again and see if it makes any difference. Could be totally unrelated and it could just be that things have been so unsettled, daddy gone, daddy home, up and down and all over the place the last month or so. It's not a big deal, but bedtime is becoming a chore when he normally goes off to sleep happily. See how things go once we settle in the new house.

Jayney Jayne - LOVE having you back on fb...please stay?! lol

As for us - packing for our holiday, sorting the house out and trying to make sure everything is where it belongs before we go so it can all be packed up while we're away. We are headed to my parents place for xmas, then on to our camping holiday with Mako, then back to our new place for a few days to unpack as much as we can then back down to Sydney to clean and finish up here ready for tenants to move in (when we actually find them )and then back to the new place for DDs bday on the 4th So it will be a while before I am back online I would imagine.

I hope you all have a wonderful Christmas with your beautiful families and get a moment of peace to remember those who are not with us xxxx
