Mel! Jen!

Well I'm back at work full-time. We have a "flexible work arrangement" process whereby you can apply for reduction in hours. I want a 9-day fortnight instead of the 10 I'm supposedly working until we can get the 5th day of childcare. but they keep saying "no". Well, I'll take it to EEO, as what's the point of a policy that is never implemented? Is it just there to look good for the pollies?

Pip's had a cold now since Feb 9 Jen - we can't get rid of it. I've had it as well, so over it. Weird about the nightmare, one wonders what they dream about!!!

We've been lucky with sleep-throughs. Somehow last night Pip slept from around 5pm when I got home from shopping (he fell asleep in the car) until around 5am this morning when we changed his nappy, gave him a bottle and he slept again until 8:30. He's asleep now, has been since midday.

We've started weaning onto cows milk - I know what you mean Mel, I can't help but give him formula last thing before he sleeps! But I'm really looking forward to not having to budget that $20/week for formula. And while I've not been well we've been using disposable nappies, which is another $20/week. ARghhhh.

Now I'm back at work it feels like I'm even more poor, as all my wage is going into childcare and paying off the homeloan.

Ooops, he's awake.
Have a great day all.
