Oh, poor Lily! Kaleb seems to constantly have little mini-bruises all over his legs, but not so many now he is walking than when he was crawling. No, you don't have to be working to use childcare centres. Definitely sounds like you need a break...is it hard to get a place down the coast, because it is a nightmare up here.

Yikes Jess, chicken pox! That's a bit scary! Hope Aidan has managed to avoid it. M/S is still going strong, oh well, 4 weeks down, hopefully not much more to go 8-[

Went shopping for some party supplies today, got all the decorations, plates, cutlery etc. Still have to find a cake. Would you believe there are no 'proper' old fashioned bakeries around here, just these Brumbys-type places. Have to go searching next week.
