Looks like I havent missed too much!!
Had a bit of a disaster in the office, the previous owners decided it was okay to attach a wall cupboard with only 4 small screws, there are 4 overhead cupboards on the wall next to where I sit, often times with Elise on my chest while on the computer.
Needless to say sometime over a night or two ago the whole thing fell down, just missing my computer on to where I sit and smashing the poor printer.
Thank god it didn't happen during the day and that BIL is here and a cabinet maker so he was able to fix it properly with the proper screws.

Study looks like a bomb has hit it though, more so than normal hehehe.

Elise is going well, sleeping well porking up nicely.
She has started getting into somesort of a routine. She will sleep somewhere around 11pm til 5 or 6 am then have a feed and sleep most of the morning anywhere from when she wakes in the morning til around 10am- midday. She will then be awake most of the rest of the day, cat napping here and there feeding every 2 hours to make up for her big naps.
I am pretty happy with that routine, allows me to get to bed at a semi decent hour and I can get what I need to done in the morning then sit with her feeding through the afternoon.
I can get Abby off to school in the morning with no hassles as well.

Claire have you tried pressing on your breast a bit to stop the flow, that;s what I have been doing as I have a fast flow as well, but don't press the same spot the next feed to allow those ducts to clear.
Not sure about the flat head, Elise has such strong neck control she lifts her head up all different directions herself, I hope you find some answrs to that one!

Mel - I think ELise is going through a growth spurt as well, she is pushing 5kg and is sooooooooo long now.
Not sure when I will start swimming lessons, probably when I am not so fat and can fit into my bathers again lol.

I hope all you mummies and bubs in Melbourne and Adelaide are keeping cool, must be so horrible, I am soooooooo glad for a change not to be back in Melb.
