Thanks heaps Kel and Mel I never looked into it earlier, but our sounds a lot cheaper than what you have up there!

Kel - ooh I wish they would all do cloth so I didn't have to supply my own!!! LOL

And I must have been having a brain fart last night - we get 60% rebate - so the government pay 60 and we pay 40%.. pmsl... ahhh... how intelligent am I when posting late at night!!!! HAHAHAHAHA
I know what you mean I was trying to work our the %, thinking am I close with this at all, must do a bit more maths!!

I reckon then full day fee is $59.50, so the CCTR (easily work those hrs already) would bring it down to $29.75, and then if I estimate about the same as Kel which is pretty much what I would be looking at a bit more of a reduction, so it isn't going to "cost" a lot a day (IMHO), here is a link to what the local CC offers....

CC Info

They used to do a full cloth service too, but people wern't using it! I sooo would have gone yes to the cloth, it was included!! We'll be sending her Ittis and Pea Pods, food is included as well.

I think I finally understand all the rebates etc too now, it was sooo confusing but now I get it, I am actually happy with even just the 50% back, but the daily rates we are paying here are a LOT less than you guys have up there!

Sorry girls for the diversion, it is such a hard decision, but I feel that if I am not paying that much out of pocket, I would be happy to drop her off after her morning boob at 7:45am, and be back there before/around 3pm then she would only have one bottle of EBM (I would only need to express once a day ) and we have the rest of the afternoon of her awake time

Ok now going to return to normal conversation -

So much for our sleeping until 7am, N is being a poobah, all over the place with her morning wake ups I am hoping that it is just due to frustration, not being able to roll or something......

Great photos Pixie, beth is just so darn cute!!!

Thanks MM, not really what I want to do, but with building and our current house $$ are just getting tighter and I want to reduce a bit of $$ stress.

Have to agree the Teletubbies scare me!! One of my uni friends used to love them though

Crap must run for now, I am working a specification for the supply and installation of Bitumen... how exciting!!
