hey Kris, sales are really about how much you save, not how much you spend!!!

I thought I wrote a huge post the other day but can't see it?
Anyhows, I've got Pip's cold thing still, spent most of today in bed (after I walked him down to CC). They think he's marvellous, always smiling. So glad he's now eating our food too! Risotto's been the main meal here this week, with a hot chook & tatie salad on Monday (Pip had the chook) and chicken risotto Tuesday, Wednesday was Grilled Salmon with reheated brown rice and veg, (Pip loved the salmon!) and tonight leftover risotto with a marinated lamb backstrap. Pip had a bit of both off my plate. Tomorrow will either be casserole or pizza - can't see him eating either of those.

Jen - yay on the routine starting to sort. The clothing sounds cute as! No good on the stained rug though - have you got a copy of Shannon Lush's "Spotless"? Its great for that kinda stuff.

Erin - travel safely!!!!!

Kris - Am interested, I have a friend who's prolly going to cancel returning all my work clobber on Sunday, if she does then I'd love to come (Actually, I'd love to come regardless, specially as its your launch party!) but I really need my work clothes back. I don't fit into my corporate gear - I seem to have a belly hanging over my bottoms Hoping my borrowed clothing fits - its a more relaxed cut (but more fitted IYKWIM)

Mel - oh isn't starting CC the worst? Are you able to ease into it - a half hour, an hour, then a half day? We did that and it really meant an easy transition for Pip.

Anyhows, I'm off, cya!

Hi Ladies...
I am killing tme while I wait for B to wake up..we are meeting a friend for coffee in half an hour but I am giving him every last second of sleep!
I worked setting up a stand at a gift fair yesterday - and cam home around 3, from 4-7 Beau had TWO 300ml bottles! I texted my nanny but she said he had his normal feeds in the day! What a piggy! He has a new tooth down the bottom too.
Anyhow -
Kris- dylan sounds like such a little man! So grown up! LOL that he is only 8kg! Beau must be at least 13-14kg by now! Thats so super cute with him walking everywhere now.
Kaz- Yep I have a copy of spotless, but I cant find it! I think it has fallen behind the other books.
Well still without DH, he texted me the other night saying "I love golf but I miss you guys too much!" I said finally you get it!! Ha!!
Ok have a great weekend, hi everyone else.

Hi!

Melissa - So glad you guys coped with the week well! omg - Dylan eats tissues too! cheeky kids.
Let me know if you want some help with make-up! I can do it for you if you like! I did a course years ago and I did my friends makeup for her wedding a couple of years ago...Hair I'm no good at though - LOL!
Oh wow - not long at all until Olivia's b'day!!

Had my first training for Total Learning today which was good...Now I'm just chilling out for the night. Dh is heading out for his brother's b'day so it will be nice and quiet! Then tomorrow I've got my TL launch party! Woohoo!

Hi!

Melissa - I'm having my Total Learning launch tomorrow! I think I posted earlier this week about it...
It's on at 1pm - let me know if you'd like to come and I'll give you my address (no stress if you can't - I know it's late notice for you! LOL!)

Chat later!

[minimatron]

Sorry....i wont be able to make it. i went back and read through the posts, some how I missed it, or maybe I was so wrapped up in what was happening with me that I just skimmed through it. Good luck and hope it goes well. I am off to see my dad today. DF is back tonight, yay.

[MrsFabuloso]

HI girls,

Sorry I haven't posted much, but I have been busy with work and uni and Lily and home and, and, and......too too much to do!!! This will just be qiuck since I have an assignment to finish, which is late anyway, I just have no motivation to do anything much at the moment. I'm feeling a bit swamped

We are well, Lily is as cheeky as ever. I think she's teething again, her bottom gums are red and swollen and she drenches her shirts in a few minutes with drool! She's been sleeping the night through these past three nights, *knock on wood!* so I am hoping she has finally clued onto the fact she can sleep the entire night and it's all ok!! She's standing on her own and has taken two steps at mums and two steps for dh...I am yet to see her do it .

Ok gonna go and do some work...ugh!

Happy Sunday Ladies

[Krisvee]

Melissa - No worries! Hope you and dh have a nice night!!

Kel - Glad that your well! Make sure you have some chill out time!! Wow on Lily taking steps - thats great!!

Thats it from me - got heaps to do! Hope you all had great weekends!

Chat later!

[minimatron]

Hey,
I dont know whats happening with this child....every night for the past 4 nights she has woken smack bang at midnight for a feed and then waking up after 2 hours and struggling to go back to sleep. Last night goes like this. Bed 830, wake for feed midnight, awake at 2am, change and bottle at 230, awake and crying til 4am. in bed with us with a smile and back to sleep by 415 and up for the day at 730. I am so tired and grumpy. and all she is doing is squealing...hurts my head. She has a rash on her cheeks so i am assuming that she will get some new teeth soon. My mum is coming today to pick her up, thankfully I am not working!
Kristie, am glad your day' went well,
Kell, make sure you get some rest
Jen, is Dh back. Isnt that nice that he misses you more than golf!!! B must be going through a growth spurt. Olivia did the increase in bottles for a while..still is.
Kaz- hope you are feeling better soon.
Well got to go, mums here, have a great day.

[Kazbah]

I got your SMS Kris, but I've still got this horrid bug, Pip & I are both off to the docs today. Hope it all went well!

Us - well we cleared up the lounge/dining area and are letting Pip crawl around. Can't believe we almost missed it cause of the renos mess! He's pushing the dining chairs across the room as he walks with them!

On a bad note, now he's out of the pen, the dog is growling at him, so the dog is banished outside when Pip's up.

Mel - poor Moo, and I hate that squealing, its horrid. DH doesn't "notice" it - IE he thinks its good to let him cry (arghhh) but it just hurts my head so I don't let him cry for long.

Kel - oh no on missing the steps! I don't think we have any steps yet .... at least Pip's now learnt how to sit/get down from standing so no more crashes and cries!

Jen - awwww isn't that the sweetest re the golfing? B's sounding like he's going great guns! Clever boy on getting a tooth through!!!!

Anyhows, Pip's still asleep, albeit coughing heaps. Prolly cause of the 4am bottle I gave him (along with dimmetapp & panadol)

[minimatron]

Ok this is horrid......I found Olivia chomping on a ****roach...I think I am going to be sick. She was playing with her bottle warmer pouch thing which is black, I looked at her again and i thought she pulled the tag off. At closer inspection, there was a wet alive roach on her hand which just came out of her mouth....eeeewwwwww.

And I just found another in my bath...wtf. Oh and yesterday when I got one of DFs boxer shorts off the line and threw it at him...another one fell out of them. theres so may around.

Between Olivia putting tissues in her gob, shes also ripped up her fav book and ate it and I found some of it in her poo too....the roach has just made me sick. When do they stop putting things in there mouths?????

[Krisvee]

Hi!

Melissa - Sorry to hear Olivias not sleeping well! Hope you had a nice break and a chance to rest while you Mum looked after Olivia! Oh yuck - The things they put in they're mouth!!! Actually we noticed one a few months back and I've never seen any before so they must be around... I think it must have a lot to do with personality putting things in their mouth because Louis really didn't do it - I never had to worry and Dylan puts everything in his mouth - sand, dirt, leaves and of course anything he comes across on the floor.
Which reminds me - Dylan had one of my hairs in his mouth and I went to pull it out but he must have swallowed half of it - and everytime I gave a little tug he'd dry reach...so I had to cut off the end and let him swallow it - well it came out in his poo today! LOL! Very gross though...

Kaz - No Worries Kaz!! Hope you guys are starting to feel better! Ooh yeah thats a worry with the dog growing - I guess you just don't know how they're going to react with a little one getting around.
LOL - I don't notice the squealing and screaming either...hehe. Dh hates it though! and usually everyone else around me...I think I have selective hearing. Even noisy toys don't usually bother me, however Louis was blowing on a toy recorder the other day continuously for about 5-10min and I had to take that away -so thats probably been the first truly annoying noise we've had! hehe.

Hope everyone else is well!

Dylan and Louis have sniffles at the moment but not quite colds...I wasn't sure whether to take them swimming today but they're quite happy playing and what not so I think I will.
On Thursday we're off to Toddler tunes which is a local activity where they play music and dance and sing etc so we're going to try it out - it's for 1-4yo but but she said Dylan can go and play for no extra cost!! Wow - I thought that was very impressive! Just another thing to add to our week - LOL - but I think they'll enjoy it.
Umm....not much else for me - Dylans fully walking now - all around the house - so cute! He can walk for a good 5 metres or so before he goes back to crawling! He's also started saying dadada but I actually thing it's for his dummy not his daddy - LOL!

Enough rambling...Chat later!

[JenSam]

Yay Its been busy in here!
Thank god Beau is asleep - he is such a grump today! Not even very happy when daddy came home to say hi just before...poor DH, he just wants to stay home with us now! He is over his job and misses Beau so much in the day - too cute!
Well Beau is standing for a few seconds on his own and like PIp, Kaz, is pushing the chairs, ottoman and his highchair across the timber floor too.
He loves tissues, my vogues and home mags, and baby wipes! He tears them up and I found a great glob of magazines stuck to the roof of his mouth the other day! (or DH did - bad mother!)
He had his first 'blood' accident in the bath too - scratched his finger under the drain when he pulled the plug out...
Kaz - sad to hear you guys are under the weather, rest up and snuggle together!
Kris - you are out of control! You deserve some kind of childrens activity award! You never stop! Glad your new venture went well, hope the boys sniffles clear up. I feel like I am forever pulling hairs out of B's mouth, I am not sure if its post prgnancy or the fact that my hair is dark now and I can see them but there are sooo many! I am malting I swear!
Mel- I am glad I had just finished my sandwich! EWWWWWW!!!! Thats horrendous! Get thee to the closest Bunnings and get house spray pronto! It's funny really how disgusting the things are that they eat! Beau likes the cake of soap on the tray in the bath the best, gag! You Poor thing - Olivia's sleep is all over the place huh? i hope she settles and pops those teeth thru! B is still gutsing his bottles too.
Kel - Thats great Lil has worked out her sleep - I hope it continues...I count my blessings every night B sleeps thru, except for one or two wake-ups only, he has slept thru every night since we did the teach to sleep (3 months ago). Bless him!
Ok, better go and do something domestic...ick!

[MrsFabuloso]

Hiya girls!

How are things, I hope you are all well

Mel, I hope Olivia has settled for you. Lily has has a horrible few nights too, last night she woke about 4 or 5 times, just to whinge, gave her her dummy and she whinged with it in her mouth Luckily she slept til 7.30, usually it's about 6 when she wakes...
YUCK with the ****raoch! Ugh!!! It's making my skin crawl thinking about it....eeeewwwwww!!!!!!

Kaz, Lil walks with our washing basket, LOL! And her play centre thingy shen she manages to get it onto the tiles...
I hope you're both feeling better today.

Kris I hope the boys don't get too sick. Lil had a bad cold a few days ago and she was miserable! And YAYAAY at Dylan walking! What a clever chook!

Jen, Lily is really clingy to me at the moment and is dissing dad a bit too, LOL. Daddy is not impressed! I have been getting so many kisses and cuddles, she's such an affectionate baby, I love it!
LOL, I counted my chickens before they hatched!! Her sleeping is back to being erratic.... I just want a decent sleep...no waking up! I think she's teething again though, I think she has a new tooth, but she won't let me feel it, so her gums must be sore, usually she lets mee feel in her mouth. If I am lucky enough to hae her sleep through, I wake up to pee, or I've got a cramp or something...grrr. I can't imagine what it will be like having two. I hope she's sleeping through by then, or I'll be a zombie!

Ok grizzly bear on my hands must go...

[Kazbah]

ahhhh

Jen - please, please be careful in the bathtub! We (SES) had so many callouts to kids with fingers stuck down the plughole that we made a tool to remove the drain thingy from the bathtub (with the kid still attached ). their little fingers go down, get stuck, swell and need to be cut out (the drain thingy, not the fingers) which is so traumatic, just for the rescuer!

Us - ummm well we went to the docs yesterday. Pip's on ABs (he loves them, opens his mouth and sticks out his tongue for more!) as am I, he also has a vapouriser, fess little noses, euky rub, dimmetapp and panadol (for teeth/constipation). Poor little love is so bound up too, its not funny. But he's OK to go to CC today thank god, so I got a couple of hours sleep after I walked back from there. Oh and I can't find my mirena strings, have to get an US for that ...

Kris - oh my goodness, you do so much with them!!! erk on the hair though, that's pretty gross.

Aren't we all loving the cuddles! Last night Pip woke at 3:30, settled him with a bottle at 4am, he woke again at 4:30 screaming, suspect wind/constipation there. DH settled him, put him on our bed and Pip came straight to me for cuddles. Awwwww.

Mel - urk on the 'roaches! We haven't seen any here yet. Pip eats EVERYTHING. at CC he eats the tanbark, the sand, the grass .... Hope you don't see anything in her poos ... UGHS

Kel - awww on the cuddles too! And I think I have the other EVIL child here! Up at 3:30 for the past 4 nights!

anyhows, i'm off.

[Krisvee]

Hi!

Jen - Sounds like everything between you and dh is going well!! Yeah at Beau standing and pushing everything around! Poor little thing cutting himself....
It's a fact that you lose more hair after you have your baby - your body holds onto your hair and doesn't shed as much throughout the p/g so it all falls out afterwards...It's horrible though!

Kel - I hope Lily's sleeping settles for you - You'll cope just fine with 2! You'll have your moments but it will be all good!
Yeah..I hope they don't get to sick either - although at swimming today they both had the shivers as the water was quite cold...the heater wasn't working properly or something...poor little munchkins...They better get it sorted before the weather gets any colder thats for sure...

Kaz - Sorry to hear your all still sick...Hope you all get some sleep tonight...
Hmmm had to google mirena strings - LOL!!! I had no idea what you were writing about...

Actually I hope we all get a good nights sleep tonight - LOL! Chat later!
