Zola - good to hear that Bas has settled down on the formula. Sometimes it's just not worth all the pain and angst to continue bfing hey? How nice your walk along the beach sounds! We hardly ever go to the beach (which is silly since we live just minutes away from the best beaches in the world!) and it's going to be too cold to go with Gabby soon. I should get Neil to come with me on the weekend. Gabby can go in the hug-a-bub and we can let the dogs have a good run. Sounds like you are enjoying your new house. It must be sooooo nice!
Even though I like my house, I do look forward to the day we can afford to move into something bigger and newer. I would love to build but Neil isn't too keen. I have never lived in a new house as Mum and Dad have always rented. I shouldn't complain tho, hey? At least we have a mortgage. That's a big step in itself!

I have to spend more time with my maltese x shih tzu, Charlie. The poor little man used to be so spoilt and now he barely gets a brush a week (I used to brush him every day). His hair is all feral and he stinks, LOL. Not good considering he likes to sleep on a pillow next to Gabby (he adores her now!). Every time I have to go inside to her crying, he runs right up to her and sniffs at her. He knows what it's all about!
