Wow what a day! I'm so stoked that I got a RAK!!! I didn't realise because I was away from the computer all day and the Bear came and told me when Beth was in the bath!
And the Bear must have read my post this morning cause today we bought a cot from the Trading Post. She was in it for all of 3 seconds before she figured out how to pull herself up on the bars! but she looks so tiny and cute in it, compared to the hammock, which she seemed really big in! Sleeping ok at the moment so we will see how she goes overnight.
We are all still a bit under the weather, the Bear worked from home today ause he is still feeling lousy. I'm not great and Beth is still a bit sick and fighting off her antibiotics twice a day!
I am sooooo happy about the RAK though! that made my day! woohoo soon I'll have a spunky avvie too!
sorry no personals ... back tomorrow! o yeah and new Beth pics here

[thepixie]

ok folks back again for quick personals....
Squiddy loving the new avatar babe good on you for getting that car seat in, we need to get a new one for Beth in the next couple of weeks she is getting close to the weight limit for her capsule.
Mel how did M go with her needles? I'm holding off doing Beth's for as long as I can cause the 4 month ones messed with her so much... and with her being sick, I want her fully recovered before we do needles again.
MM - mwah! You are going gangbusters with your sewing.... I was wanting to get a sewing machine a few months ago... but we've got nowhere to put it, and I don't know how to sew really but I just had a sudden urge! it might have gone away now though LOL
Vic good luck finding the right CC for miss N..... it's so hard I know!
Kel - woohoo! for the wedding date!
SB - the Bear saw what I wrote about using abstinence and said "the problem with using abstinence as contraception is sometimes it breaks"
big and to everyone else.... better get going, only so much Teletubbies the girl can watch before her eyes go square!

Lol pixie!! Teletubbies are scary ... but kids seem to like them!!

We have had Veygas in the cot pretty much from the start (except when he wouldn't sleep unless he was on me!! ) He's a lazy little monkey though, prefers to lie down and roll around than sit up or anything ... having said that, he now has a tendency to roll to his side and just lie there propped up on his elbow! He has also started sleeping on his tummy (all of my kids have done it!)

Talk about sewing! TMI - I was on the toilet last night and go sick of seeing the toilet paper sitting on the floor still in the pack, so I made a toilet roll holder! Will have to take some pics!

LOL@ Bear's comment!! DP reckons he's away too much to abstain! He joked the other day that I might be UTD again, cause I was craving baked beans and fried eggs on toast!! PLUS, I got him hooked on it too!! hahaha

Vic - good luck with the child care search!

Kel - yay for setting a date!!! My DP doesn't deal with pooey nappies at all!! He dry reaches every time he has to take one off!! Most of the time, toddler poo easily shakes off into the toilet, and I manage to get baby poo off under the tap in the laundry tub (I don't have a little squirt )

Squidipa - I LOVE CLOTH NAPPIES!! I think because of the age gap between my two, the OSFA aren't quite cutting it (although it is good having a heap of nappies that either of them can wear!) I don't know what it is, but medium sized nappies suit Veygas perfectly, whereas I am having a few probs with the OSFA. Hence I am making medium and large pocket nappies for my two, which is working well.I am also about to embark on night nappies and all-in-one nappies (cause they are easy to grab and chuck in the nappy bag when you're in a rush and on your way out the door!)

I am seriously kicking myself that I didn't convert sooner!

Anyway big to everyone ... the dishes are calling me and only had 3 hours sleep last night damn insomnia!

mwah!! xxxx

[*Beema*]

Heaps of work today, boo hoo.

Just rang 6 FDC people and so far only 1 *might* be able to look after N, and I am not so sure, going around tomorrow to visit. Another was engaged and the last I left a message, the one i am really keen on is full atm but we would hope to get in downt he track. ATM I an now leaning towards the local CC, I was really impressed when I was there yesterday... aurghhh this sucks!! But I need to spend a bit more time working and N will enjoy with social time - she is quite the social butterfly.

That is cheap Squidipa is that before CCB etc?

That's aweseome Pixie! Can't wait to see your AV!!

Sorry I can't tink to type more, gotta call up about some new tyres... yay... just what I ened to spend $$ on atm...another reason to sort out the care thing asap!

[squidipa]

That is cheap Squidipa is that before CCB etc?

Yep before i actually pay for three 8 hour days just for ds3 and that costs me weekly 16.10, with out consession it is 38.50 a day a day being 8 hours.


my head is everywhere at moment NOT enough sleep josh caught dd's cold again gonna do needles tomorrow. also joshie LOVES his car seat first time ever he slept in it for like ages im so impressed.

Don't forget Vic that your income is taken into account with the child care fees too - mine are $80 a day for the two kids - and thats with the government percentage already taken out (but before the rebate every quarter obviously!!)

And thats a pretty standard price - and we don't earn HUGE incomes - just medium income earners..
