Sammiejam - I'll do you a deal, I'll tip off customs to the castor oil if you do the same to my mum when she brings her British "remedies" with her... ha ha ha I'd like to see that customs tv programme do a "mother knows best" special, they wouldn't stand a chance! She told me this morning that I shouldn't be taking panadol, even though that is specifically what the doctor recommended to me .... I should note my mother is a school administrator not a medically qualified person, but that's never stopped her...

Seems odd that you two will have babies soon, and we all step a little closer to the top of the list. It's a little bit scary... Today, I'm going to spend an hour investigating this nappy business.(it's all fun fun fun in my house) and I think I've decided we're going to get one of those cots that turns into a baby bed. Not that DH agrees with me, but as he hasn't offered an alternative opinion, I'm counting that as agreement .... te he he

Kyra, if your DH still has any energy left, could he nip round here? I can lend him a duster it's good of him to do that, most men would think "argh peace and quiet, tv on" and sit on their arses for hours. My DH got up at 5am this morning unable to sleep "quietly". Turns out his definition of quietly is about as quiet as a couple of bull elephants charging through your bedroom. He'll learn when he wakes a sleeping baby up....

hope you are all well. I'm looking forward to the weather breaking later, unlike everyone else in Melbourne (sorry)
