Just a real quick post:

Leabie, I thought it was anything spent above $1,500 that you could claim against your tax. I think you get back 20c in every dollar you have spent over and above $1,500 - at least that is what it was last year unless it's gone up this year. Probably due to Rudd! Thanks for the tip about deductible child maintenance expenditure. I still think due to DH's salary we're up creek without the proverbial but I'm thinking of calling the relevant department at some stage just to check if twins get a special dispensation - for anything ... I note you have an endocrinologist; me too. Do you have an over or underactive thyroid? Mine has been doing weird things since falling PG but my endo is getting me to do really regular BTs. I think she upped the dose of thyroxine too soon, and I'm still seeing the results of that.

I didn't realise that antenatal classes were extra again. Can anyone tell me whether there is an item number, or is it simply a matter of calling your private health insurance?

Paula, I know right; back to work for about 12 weeks on a graduated basis - prob no more than 3 days a week - and then back home again at week 25! OMG. I'm going to go off my brain. I am glad there are some nice couples and you enjoyed your first antenatal class.

Wantbaby, there's only so many orange juices you can drink in one night, too, hey?

Hi Lise, thanks for good wishes for my scan next week. Hope the last few weeks go really quickly for you!

To all the other lovely ladies I've missed, have a great long weekend!
