Meg - I cooked the sausage casserole today, it was so moorish that I almost thought that maybe the sausages weren't really cooked if that makes sense? *L* I had it on auto for over 5hours so I know it was all fine but still! *LOL* Going to make spag bol tomorrow in the SC, I think someone mentioned you don't have to brown the mince first, you can just throw it all in. The lamb shanks sound SOOO yummy, they're one of my DH's favourite meals! How did Coco like her choko mixed with cereal & pear? We tried Maddy on a tin of pureed vegies & rice today and she made the most hilarious faces. hehe Will try again tomorrow as I froze the remainder in an ice cube tray.

Dani - grrrrr on your noisy neighbours! Perhaps you should consider what we suggested to Meg with her troublesome old biddies. Borrow a trumpet and a set of drums off someone and have an impromtu band practise at an annoying time. Give them a taste of their own medicine! *evil grin* Sorry to hear that they do it by Jett's window! Well done on such a good sleep, play & feed pattern....might have to follow your lead with Maddy although she is much better than she used to be!

Sarajo - what's the 9 month needles for? Perhaps you don't have as many early on as the Aussie babies? Mind you, we have differences between the states that Meg & I live in! Up here, Maddy had 3 seperate needles at each of her first two immunisation visits, and will "only" be having 2 at her 6 month ones on Tuesday week (the 27th). It sounds like Abby has done so well since her needles last week...is she still sleeping & eating well since then? Glad to hear you haven't hit any deer! hehe

Christie, Leanne, Melly, Tiff, Clare, Jillian, Rach, and Kate; I hope you are all going well, had a lovely weekend and have a terrific sleep filled night!

Maddy is in bed (YAY!) and I'm off to have a little nanna-nap before the Socceroos play tonight. I figure if I go to bed now and Maddy actually sleeps - I can get about 6hrs sleep in before the 2am kick-off! *LOL*
