I'm first again?!?!?!

Well, Hubby "forgot" my birthday again. Last year I was in tears all day because of his 'forgetfulness"... so I thought he would make an effort this year. Nup. He got up this morning and went to the shops to buy me a card. Good on him.

But I did get a nice present when I jumped on the scales this morning. I have been in the 80's ever since I was pregnant - and this morning it read 79kg!!! I had checked last night and it said 80kg then! So for me... that is a great gift. Just got to stay there - and never get back into the 80's again - unless I'm pregnant!

well... hopefully the scales is a sign of an improving day. talk to you later.

Jodie

:heartbeat: HAPPY VALENTINES DAY! :heartbeat:

Leanne ~ I’d be tired if I were you as well! I hope you all get better soon! Nothing worse then being sick like that!

Jodie ~ I am with you!! I’m hoping everything settles down in the next few weeks – I feel as though I’m chasing my tail right now. I’m also hoping to see some teeth!! I’m sick of the clinginess, the sore gums and the teething nappies!!! Plus I want to see some cute toothy pegs!! I hope you have a fantastic birthday! Grrr to your hubby! I would be furious! But then I normally give monthly reminders starting about 6 months before my birthday so its never forgotten!! :cryinglaugh: YAY for getting under 80kgs!! That is such a great achievement!

Elissa ~ Em is always knocking his head! He gets bruises and small cuts there. He can’t seem to manage to land on anything but his head the silly kid!

Sara ~ I can’t believe you’re 16 weeks either! Time has flown! Em cries as well sometimes when I try to feel for teeth but he has none yet LOL. Who knows!! :dunno:

Em just fell asleep on the floor playing! He’s so cute! I will let him sleep and then we’re going out to the park to meet some friends.

Is anyone remembering last Valentines Day when we were all pregnant? I remember being at work and getting flowers from G. And one of my work mates got this gigantic vase of lilies and roses from her ex of about a week that made her cry! I can’t believe that a year has gone by!! I can’t believe that my boy is 9 months in 4 days and that’s only 3 months off a year!!! I’m going to make those 3 months go really really slowly LOL!!!

sara - Archie doesn't let me feel for his teeth either he just clamps shut. I think his top ones are on their way ATM so i just tip him upsie down whic makes him laugh, that way i get a good view of his gums.

Jodie - happy birthday! My hubby is hopeless like that too, we not having V day either, doesn't really mean much to us we just make sure we do something really special for wedding anniversary.

Lea - Em must have looked so gorgeous asleep on the floor! i can't imagine Archie giving in and falling asleep on the floor. Em must have been really pooped. I am making the most of every day with my baby now too cause its only 3 months til hes not a baby anymore, soon we will all have toddlers!

DH mum came to visit (very strange and selfish woman who we don't have a great deal to do with) I actually enjoyed her company and thought she would never leave, hopefully she keeps coming to visit regularly so that Archie will know who she is. just made a choccy cake (my valentines treat to myself) had a huge piece and now i feeel queasy eeeeewwww, its a shame i never learn from this!

Yep Elissa he did look gorgeous!!He just did it again 10 minutes ago. Though I was on the floor with him and he was kind of in my arms. Very very cute!! That choccy cake sounds lovely! I have cooked nothing special for Valentines because shopping day is tomorrow and there is nothing here to cook!!

Just waiting for G to get home now....

Well I got up at 10 to a bunch of orchids and a heap of choccies. ...even after we made deal not to do anything. I had my lunchbrought to me and dinner is being cooked as we speak.

Did manage a 5km walk today.

You do whatever you need to Shazz, and remember we are here when you need. :hug: :hug:

:happybirthday: Shazz and Jodie!!!!

WTG Jodie!!!

Evening ladies,

Jodie - Thats great news mate. Keep up the good work!

Elissa - I will have too try that one tonight. I tried it today in the shower after the attempt at having a feel around but she was'nt in it!! Clever little thing probably knew what i was trying to do!

Kim - WOW!! You lucky ducky. Sound beautiful. At least he is making an effort for you hey. Brent does'nt give a sh*t!!!

Well Briley has had an interesting day of rolling around the lounge today! She is really starting to cruise around. Still no proper crawling yet though. She is trying but.

Anyhoo...better get out there and bond with them.

Hope you are all well. Kisses and hugs to mums and bubs.

MWA!

kim - wow how lucky are you! you must feel very special today!

Archie has had an awful afternoon and night. Bonjella seems to give him some reflief as does panadol but i hate giving that to him. Teething always makes his reflux play up too cause he screams and gets way overtired its a visous cycle as im sure you are all well aware of! Anyway he is asleep now so its not to bad yet, i just know the teeth will come through on the weekend when it will be boiling hot here, aaarrrggghhh, and to think im ttc#2!

hope you are all tucked up in bed with ur loved ones...

Happy birthday Jodie, today would have been my mum's 66th birthday- you must be a lovely person if you are born on this day cause mum was one of the nicest people ever.
Kim- You lucky thing!!!! What do you do to get all that??? ( no I dont want to know LOL)
Shazz- take care, is there anything we can do?
Elissa- Riley is doing that whingy teething type behaviour too, he's been even more unsettled than usual at night. Good luck with ttc although part of me couldn't imagine children that close together LOL!! Having said that I am half considering another one and since I am getting on a bit it'd have to be soon. (what drugs am I on ???)
Sara- DH doesn't believ in Valentine's day so I get sweet FA too. Although I did get a chocolate heart from one of the boys in my class.
I have to go to bed now, NO SCHOOL TOMORROW!!!!!!!! YAY!!! (except I have to go to take Erin and do some photocopying)

Morning girls,

Today i have a day of cleaning and orginisation for tomorrow. We are going into town for the dr's and i have a heap of other things to do aswell. We have'nt been in since last friday so it takes a bit to get things ready! I am looking forward to a bit of social interaction!

Christine - Ohhh a choccie heart!! At least someone was thinking of you...even if it was'nt the right person!!

Hope you are all well...

BBL

Nah it wasn't what I did, it was what he doesn't.....

We have absolutley NO sign of teeth here at all. She hates rusks and barely has a suck on a teether. She seems to be understanding that you put food in your mouth, but not most other things.

Cam had a big scare yesterday. I don't let her climb on the gate at the top of the stairs (in case it falls - duh), but he was watching me on the computer and supposed to be watching Darcy. Well he didn't stop her climbing on it to stand up - and it gave way! She went tumbling down four stairs. She got a shock but it wasn't til Cam did the %&%^# gate! yelling and carrying on that she panicked and screamed.
Thank goodness he's gone to work today and it's a bit quieter.

Sara- hope your cleaning day goes well, are you out of town? I couldn't cope not being close to major shops which are open late LOL. When we go down the coast to ILs and everything closes by 7pm I nearly go insane. (city girl all the way)
Kim- OMG that mustve nearly given you heart failure- did Cam blame the gate not himself? Thats what Daniel would do LOL. Don't worry about teeth Riley has none and doesn't crawl! I read somewhere that the later they get teeth the stronger the teeth are but that could be an urban myth to make me feel better LOL. Erin didn't get teeth til 9 months and she's fine although she lost her 2 front teeth last year and still has no sign of new ones! Riley likes cruskits better than rusks, the clinic sister said they were good.
Going for a nap now while R. has his, naturally the phone will ring just after I lay down LOL.

Christine how many BF does Riley have a day? and yep you guessed it he blamed the gate. It's like when you tell her 'no'. She doesnt understand that yet, why don't they figure out to just reomved them from what they are doing instead of sitting on the other side of the room and talking loudly????

Is it too young for them to be saying real words yet? Darcy can look at our rosella and say 'dird', and I swear to God everytime she picks up something to play with she says, "what's this".

Kim - Ohhh crap! At least she did'nt get hurt hey. Men!!! I bet the poor bugger felt terrible afterwards though. IKWYM bout the house being quiet. Brent could'nt work all last week due to the rain and was home all week! I nearly went crazy. We argue heaps when he is home too much! Its been a nice quiet week with just Briley and I.

Christine - Yeah we live about 30k's out of town. The shops here are only open till 5pm except for late nights on thursdays and your normal grocery stores which are open till 9pm mon - fri. Does'nt worry me about that though. I never have any money to go shopping with!!

Well after a battle all morning, Briley has finally decied to go down. She whinged and carried on all morning like she was tired but when i tried to put her down she would'nt go! So i ended up putting her on a sheet on the lounge room floor and she just rolled around talking and playing for about an hour while skimmed through the mum and baby mags.

Now i am surfing the net for some accomodation on the Gold Coast. Vic you might be able to help me out here. I was hoping you'd be on MSN so i could ask you some q's. Where do you think the best place to stay would be?? I have been looking for accomodation in Sufers and Broadbeach so far. I want something closeish to the theme parks and central to shops and beaches. The nice swimmable beaches. When i go into town i will go to a travel agent and get some brouchures and see what i can find.

Kim ~ A 5km walk!! You go girl!! I am so lazy! Sounds as though you had a lovely Valentines Day! OMG at Darcy falling down the stairs though and LOL @ Cam trying to shift the blame. Its not to young for them to be saying words at all! Though Em only says Mum and Dad lol. Emerson certainly understands what no means. I will say no and he used to listen to me! Now the cheeky monkey looks at me, grins and keeps on going!!

Sara ~ Sounds as though you have a busy day! GL at the Dr’s! You lucky thing organizing a holiday!! I can’t wait to take Em to Queensland!!

Elissa ~ It is way too hot here hey? I’m not looking forward to Saturday – its meant to be 41!! I am working! I hope Archie’s gums stop hurting him!

Christine ~ How cute that a little boy gave you a chocolate heart!!! You’re definitely not crazy for wanting more!! I want 5 though I’d settle for 3 lol ;) How funny you mention that about teeth because my mum just told me the same thing the other day. I was a late teether and even now I still have at least 4 of my baby teeth hehe! The last time I went to the dentist they said if I came back the next time and hadn’t lost them they would give me an x-ray and possibly pull out the baby teeth… needless to say I haven’t been back since LOL.

Em is starting to grow up more and more. He’s starting to work his toys out rather then just bash them about. He will give cuddles on demand now and I went to give him his bottle before and he pushed it away from him and held his arms up to me! He has also started hitting things he doesn’t like LOL. He has this big singing B1 and he hates it. I set it off this morning and he whacked it and glared at is something evil and then crawled away pmsl. It was so funny and cute!!!

Oh well I better get to it and get that shopping list done and do the shopping. Otherwise I will be as late as I was last fortnight… actually that worked out well because G helped me bring it all in LOL!!

Kim- Riley SHOULD be having 4 bfs a day but with all the middle of the night comfort/shut up feeds he must have about 6 or 7 LOL. The Koala Cottage lady who comes out to help with his going to bed and my PND says 4 at this age but maybe more if they aren't getting enough solids. I found out that I wasn't giving him enough solids either and that he needed more carbs.
I had a lovely nap with no phone calls and I am treating myself to a super choc drumstick!
Sara- I never have money either I just like the convenience! IKWYM about having DH home, you do get sick of them don't you! Lucky you going to the Gold Coast, have you looked on lastminute . com ? they have good accommodation cheap.

Nat I had 2 baby teeth removed when i had my braces put on 5 years ago. She does say, mum, dad, nan, and bub but I she doesn't seem to connect them to anything IYKWIM? But the other definitley are said for a reason.

How man carbs should they be having??? Darcyhas 4 but it seems like she wants to drop back to three. Then again she's started wanting night feeds again.

Hehe Darcy just had hokkien noodles and banana for lunch, funny funny my independent little miss. She eats really well if she's doing the putting in the mouth but has started to spit it out if we feed her.

hi girls hope you are all well Feeds Ryan has 4 bottles and then 2-3 solids and a bickie at after noon tea with the older kids his not a big eater at all most solid feeds he will only eat half

Shazz- hope everything is improving for you.
Lea- I love this age where they suddenly really enjoy playing with their toys instead of just moving them around. Riley is fascinated by wheels atm. I am really noticing the difference in the way he plays with things from the 2 girls, its amazing how much gender plays a part in behaviour.
Have you got all your uni stuff ready? I am actually looking forward to helping you with your homework LOL.
I think I am only crazy considering 4 as I am old LOL. I wish now I had a few more years to spare. My dad would have a fit if he knew we were even contemplating a 4th cause we aren't very good with our finances, he was horrified when I was pg with Riley but now adores him. (Hope my sil doesnt sneak into May babies and read this LOL)
Kim- Riley says dad dad dad and na na na but thats it. According to my dad he does say Grandad and other quite fluent sentences LOL. My friends little boy was telling us what he was saying even before he was born (Riley that is) and the other day informed us that Riley had told him he wanted to have a sleepover at his house PMSL! He also wants to have toast for breakfast in the morning.
Leanne hope work is OK and you aren't too exhausted.
Sara- have fun shopping tomorrow. GL at doctors

Just thought I'd come in and brag. My bro bought my sister and I vouchers at christmas for a pedicaure and manicure, so that's where I've been this arvie....lovely for the races.

Seems like I've got a motor mouth then lol. Isn't it funny what they are fascinated by. Darcy LOVES motorbikes and trucks. SHe is good at playing with her toys, knows the sax goes in her mouth etc, but she loves it best if you give her a plastic cup and a heap of metal spoons and a couple of little salmon tins out of the pantry. She is learning that the fridge magnets stick to eah other as well as the fridge....hours of entertainment.

My psoriasis has flared this afternoon. I'm so itchy i could scratch my skin off :angry:!!!!!

I thought I'd lost last night's post....go figure, stupid computer.

You should see me face! I look like I've got poison ivy. Fabulous, when I want to look nice tomorrow. I've cut out all sugar in the hope it goes down a bit....

Christine ~ How was that super choc drumstick?? I figure when it comes to babies money doesn’t matter all that much – you make do with what you’ve got. Em loves wheels as well. He will play with the wheels on the pram for ages LOL. I have most of my uni stuff ready – I just have to sort some paperwork and then copy down all the important dates into my dairy and calendar – you’d think that they’d give you a uni diary with all that in it but they haven’t yet :( I will have to get you onto my MSN so you can help me LOL!! I’m looking forward to your help!

Kim ~ OH NO :o that’s terrible! I hope it settles down for you and the itching stops! Ouch at having the baby teeth removed. That is why I haven’t been back haha! Em only says mum and dad but I’m 95% positive that he knows who mum and dad are. He has just started babbling properly as well. Lots of new sounds coming out of him. Lately Em hasn’t been having a bottle during the day but has 2 before bed, 1 in the night and then 1 in the morning. Your afternoon sounded lovely! I must say that is an excellent present from your brother! My bro isn’t that great at stuff like that haha!

Shazz ~ Good to see you hun! Sometimes Em is a big eater and sometimes he’s not… depends on the day lol.

Well Em was a bit unsettled last night but finally went down after 11. Then he woke up early morning and didn’t want a bottle so I bought him into bed with me. He was so unsettled – still half asleep but moving around. This went on for an hour or so and then I tried him on his bottle again. He had a bit and then threw up everywhere…. It was all chunky and gross LOL. So I cleaned him up and the pillow and we went back to bed. He was alright for a bit and then was unsettled and then chucked up everywhere again. Then he was awake so he played for a bit – I looked down at him from the bed and there was his nappy just overflowing with diarrhea…. With a trail behind him on the cream carpet…. Arghhhh. A few hours later and at least 3 more vomits and a bath later he crashed in my arms and is asleep the poor little tacker. He was so sad when he was throwing up. Not happy at all!! So hopefully he is better soon and I don’t come down with it either!

Oh poor mite Nat. Is it something he picked up from day care i bet?

Don't be too impressed by my brother, he buys us both the same for birthdays and christmas every year....suits us.

LOL Kim - my brother got me scrapbooking paper for Christmas which was actually really sweet of him. I normally get a letter writing set - with matching envelopes and paper.

I don't think he did pick it up from daycare because he hasn't been there since Tuesday. Maybe he picked something up yesterday when we were at swimming or out shopping. He is still asleep now so I think the worst is over.

Lea- poor little pet, its awful when they are sick, hope he is feeling better soon. I will have to go onto msn regularly now if I have people to talk to LOL! I never remember to turn it on, Jess lives on it!
My super choc drumstick was delicious, it has a thick swirl of fudge sauce in the middle of all the choc. icecream (and I am sure its low fat!!)
Kim- hope the face settles down, can you put anything on it? Staying off sugar sounds very painful to me LOL I have just been up the shops with my dad and riley and we all had a cinnamon donut (actually dad had 1/2 and I had 2 LOL) Riley gets excited when he sees a pink donut king bag (what a great mother I am LOL)
Riley is trying to crawl now, he leans from sitting up then goes onto his tummy- then starts whinging cause he hates being on his tummy. I don't think it will be too long before he is mobile - heaven help us, our house is so not babyproof. He is already eyeing off Jess' room with all its garbage all over the floor, I am sure thats where he will make a beeline too when he can move. The cat is in for a shock too.
I am going to do lots of school work this weekend (I say that now but I am very easily distracted) I bought my folder for my program today and I am all motivated.

Hi everyone, so many posts since i was in last!

Lea - i hope Em is better today, Archie had a diahorrea last night before bed and wouldn't go to sleep, we ended up taking him for a walk in the pram and it did the trick. His poos are normal again. hope you don't get it!!

kim - sounds like Darcy's a good little talker! Mum reckons i was stringing words together at 10 months so it is very possible that Darcy is saying "whats this".

christine - oooooooo i so want a drumstick, the only sweet thing i could find was a fruit box, very sad,

Archie is well and truly on the move now! i have spent the morning chasing him around the house saying no , dangerous, yucky, i feel like a broken record! He is really finding it hard to go to sleep the last couple of days, i am thinking it might be the heat, we don't have air con. DH and I have a whole night to ourselves tonight!!!! I asked mum to come over and sit with Archie while we went out o tea for a couple of hours, but she wants to take him to her place for the night so that we can have a sleep in tomorrow! I am very excited, though i don't have anything nice to wear and im 3 months overdue for a haircut, so i won't feel very special, oh well.

LOL about the haircut Elissa thats how i feel too! Lucky you with a night off I would kill to have more than 2 hours sleep in a stretch atm.
Get some of those drumsticks they are seriously addictive!!! I am craving something sweet atm but we have nothing in the house so I guess I'll have a banana.

Big W have some cool babies stuff ATM! Got these bibbs for Darcy with pink dragons on them LOL.

Hehehe Elissa, the last time I had a haircut was 25th March 2006 - for a wedding. Know how you feel. Have a nice night.

Afternoon girls,

Day went well. Busy busy busy. Dr went well. All is fine with both of us. Got to hear bubs heart beat. All good. Nice and fast as it should be. Got referal for u/s. Cant wait for that!

Well i am really tired from today. Might BBL.

Hope you are all well...

pmsl @ having 2 little pigs Vic!!

Well he's barely kept anything down at all :( His nappies are now like coloured water not to mention the most foulest smelling things I've ever seen!! And of course he's as clingy as anything. I may just have to get take away at this rate because I'm starved and I don't think he's going to let me cook - right now he's holding onto my legs whining and looking up at me LOL.

I'm not sure if he has a temp (I've lost the thermometer grrrr) but would panadol help him? I'm not sure that it would. I've never taken panadol myself for gastro...

Sara ~ i could help you at with some places to stay on the gold coast
i think we have stayed in just about all the units in sufers and burleigh heads
i will have a think and get back to you how long do you want to stay ?

Vic ~ uh ooohhh don't you hate squealing i have a little pig too
Nat ~ i hope Em starts to feel better soon if your worried about dehydration gets some pedylite ( rehydrates the body ) into him
ETA: Kim ~ hope your skin clears up and you have a great time out and about

big hi to everyone else

i have been very busy today going through all ryans baby clothes and stuff putting listings on ebay i can't wait to have some room in his cupboard so i can buy him more clothes heheh but i must say i did shed a tear when i realised Ryan is definately my last baby his clothes were so tiny and he is so big now .... oh i suppose he does have to grow up sooner or later ( i would much prefer later )
oh and my big news for the day
drum rolllll,,,,,........,,,,,,,.......
Ryan took his first steps today just 3 then he kinda of fell to the lounge but it was definately 3 steps first OMG probably next week he'll be running everywhere then i'll need some really heavy shoes on his feet to slow him down some ok i'm off
have a great weekend every one

YAY RYAN WALKING!!!!!!
What a clever little man, now he can chase his older siblings LOL.

Hi everyone,

Just popping in to say we survived week two. I did not think we would but Friday night is finally here and I can hear my pillow callig.

Poor little mite Nat. Sounds like what we all had the other week. Maybe if Em ate something like a dry bikkie or a piece of toast. Panadol might help him settle and sleep a bit better.

Well KAty's had a viral infection this week. I've put a bowl of boiling water and vicks in her room tonight so hopefully this will make her feel better. I can feel myself burning up and there's an itch in my throat and I keep sneezing so I guess it's coming my way.

I think I might go to bed.
Back tomorrow for proper personals.

Miss you all
L

Way to go RYAN!!!!! :happyforyou:

It is a bit sad that they aren't little any more....but they're kinda fun now too.
The dragon has learnt to shake her head 'no'. i guess that's cos I say it to her so often lol. Gets it in the right spot too, little cow.

Nat how's Em? I second what Shazz said. Don't want him getting dehydrated. Especially since it's so hot.

My face is better. Had to go and get some cortisone cream. Not so angry, but it's even in my eyes and I want to scratch them out!:wall: not real keen to go tomorrow either. I think it's cos I feel like my sister is taking advantage of mum and dad. Her MIL had all these grand ideas and said she'd pay half, and now she's not coughing up any $$$ and my BIL is so p@%s weak and won'tsay anything - but they haven't any money and so mum and dad are forking out......they've already given my sister thousands BEFORE the wedding and supported her through heaps (and look after my nephew every day), and I'm feeling a bit jealous I suppose cos we're really struggling and I never ask for anything. Sorry that's was a bit of a whinge.

I'm also struggling with the BF thing....Christine please log onto MSN.

Hi all,
sorry for being MIA. Work is really taking it out of me. I have absolutely no 'me' time anymore...just work work work. I HATE WORK...i really dislike my grade and am seriously talking about quitting. I have the yuckiest group of kids, they are so rude and inconsiderate. I come home with a migraine every couple of days. It's just horrible, I would much prefer to be home with my beautiful boy. I even cried when I got home on Wednesday afternoon...I just hate work so much. Sorry for the whinge, but did I mention I hate work :rolleyes:

Sorry for the lack of personals but I have just read through 10 pages and am now going to bed.

Glad to hear everyone is going well. Will try and get back on over the weekend.

oh alison what a bugger you got the feral kids just start sending them to the principal one after each other till you only have the good kids left in the room .. i know i'm not helping but seriously my hat off to any teacher i used to be a director for outside school hours care OMG i don't know how you do it ....

Morning Ladies!

I just thought I'd pop my head in and let you know that Em seems to be heaps better. He's asleep right now but kept down his bottle over night which was a good sign. I am off to work today and tomorrow so I might not be around.

Will catch up soon!

oh good Nat i'm so glad little Em is feeling better

Hi Girls.....OMG I had heaps to catch up on!!!

Nat: Thats great Em is getting better.....Jayden lost his voice in Melb, I felt so sorry for him cause his throat was probably so sore....but OMG he sounded cute trying to cry or talk.

Alison: I agree with Shazz, it takes a very patient person to teach kids....sorry you got a horrible class though!! Maybe you could mould them into normal kids haha

Shazz: Hope everything is going ok for you!!

Kim: I saw those bibs with the Dragon on it and I thought of you and Darcy haha. She's sleeping through now isn't she? Sorry you have probably said ages ago!! Jayden is saying mum, dad, aker(our dog) and tried to say purple last night (SIL thinks he said it but it wasn't quite right) and if I say yuck! He says ya ya its cute!! Sometimes it sounds like he is saying hello or how are you but I don't think he is.

Has anyone noticed when your reading or talking to your bubs that they watch your mouth? Jayden watches and mouths words like he is practicing.

He has worked out how to chase the cat around the house and how to grab her, he has also worked out that pulling the dogs tail is fun...lucky the dogs don't mind (yet). He recognises himself in the mirror or in photo's also knows photos of the dogs and Chris and me. He loves the photos more than his toys I think haha.

Anyway I have to get ready to pickup my niece from work, Jayden is still sleeping so he might miss out on going (he'll be upset, its his favourite cousin haha)

I might pop in later....Hi to those I missed....have a great day!!

Alison- poor you, I hate 1st term cause you feel like you will never get them under control but I'm sure you will. Just be really tough and then you can relax later. My class are exhausting too, if I had to have them 5 days a week i would prob. jump off a building, the girl I share with says they are the worst yr 1 ever! They are all sweet kids but nearly all of them are really demanding and attention seeking and don't listen. Add a few learning difficulties and some non english speakers and you've got it all LOL!.
Lea- Is your name really Nat? I am confused. Glad Em is better.
Tannis- did you buy everything Melbourne had to offer??
Kim- when Jess gets home i will ask her how I get onto msn again cause I have forgotten! She will laugh at me but never mind.
DH has just left to go to a 21st, its a guy he works with, I was invited but its too hard with no one to mind Riley cause he has so many feeds during the night, if mum was around it'd be ok cause he could have a bottle and she would've handled it but theres no one. Oh well I don't know whether mechanical bulls and 21 yr olds are really my thing anymore!! (i'd feel really old in that crowd)
Erin, Riley and I may go down to sil's place for tea then have an early night.
