Hey ladies...how are your weekends going?

Meg - hope little Tilly is feeling better soon. I was a big sobbing wuss over gastro recently, so loads of hugs and get well wishes to her. Sory to hear that Coco isn't sleeping well; hope you both stay well past Monday so your visit to Tresillian can go ahead and you can get your sleeping issues sorted.

Tiff - sounds like slow progress on the health of the little ones. Speedy get well soon vibes to your little ones so that you too can finally have a good night's sleep sometime soon. Mummies totally don't get enough credit for what they go through.

Danni - I hear you on the back-to-back transfer of germs.Seems Maddy & I keep reinfecting each other; although generally only one of us is sick at any one time. Get well vibes to you as well; and I hope that little Jett is his happy, healthy self again soon.

Nothing much amazing happening here. Have lamb shanks on in the SC and it smells SOOO good I want to just run in and eat them now. Got home late from the shops and didn't get them on til 1pm, so they went on high for 2 1/2 hrs and now they're on auto til about 6 tonight I guess. Used your suggestion of white wine & stock mixture Meg; threw in some mixed herbs, crushed garlic and 2 bay leaves for good measure. So hope it tastes great. Do you do anything with the liquid...ie. make a gravy/sauce of sorts by thickening with flour?

Maddy is completely under the weather with a cold. Had a rough night with her in bed with us the whole night, it took me ages to fall asleep amongst her sniffling and gurgling cold noises. Have finally gotten her down 15mins ago after feeding for TWO HOURS for a long overdue nap.

Meg, how far are you from central Sydney in the city? DH is staying in a hotel in the city but he has meetings/dinner late til after 9pm both nights he is in Sydney. Would you be interested in catching up for Yum Cha or something in the city for dinner one night if I do end up going to Sydney week after next with him?

Oh, and yesterday when my Mum was over to watch Maddy during my driving lesson; she held Maddy's lip & tongue down *L* while I looked at her tooth. Turns out she got BOTH bottom teeth at once so that's why we had such a rough trot with the teething two weeks ago!
