Meg, how was your birthday lunch with your MG? Sorry to hear you're probably going to be stuck in that tiny unit for a while yet, but perhaps it is going to be better than staying with the in-laws after what you've told me about them. Hopefully that gorgeous pair of girls you & Tim have will stay healthy and it'll make it easier for you. SOOO jealous you're off to Jamie Oliver today. I would love to go and see his show, I just can't afford it....what a lovely birthday present for you from your friend! (I have a few Jamie Oliver daydreams, he's a bit of a spunk in my opinion; and who doesn't love a cook?! hehe)

Dani, YAYYYY for little Jett's first tooth! Way to go little guy! We don't have a pillow yet for Maddy; but she does sleep on a pillow in our bed except it's her whole body. I'm not sure the experts recommend it until well after 1 year old and closer to 2 years; but if he sleeps still and he doesn't roll around, it really is about what you & your husband are comfortable with! How's Ben feeling? Hope the gastro clears out soon for you guys.

Sarajo, LOVE LOVE LOVE the photos of little Abby with piggytails. She is SO adorable, and I'm so jealous. Maddy has about enough hair to hold some tiny little hairclips but not even close to have enough to hold elastics. So you're big fans of footy over there? hehe I'm just guessing that's a gridiron team you follow? YAY about all of the babies arriving in February next year...I can't help but think 'wow, that'll be hot to be heavily pregnant over Christmas', but then I realised that's the end of your winter. Sort of like having a baby in August over here.

Renee - awwww, that's so rough that you 'should' have had Marnie on antibiotics because of the risk of. I'm glad the doctor didnt try and make you feel bad, it's not like you chose not to give it to her, the other doctor didnt even mention it to you! Grrrrr...hope your little princess is feeling better soon!

Tiff - eek about your yard being flooded; very relieved to hear that your house is fine however. The last thing you need on top of kids that are recovering from being ill, is a damp, uninhabitable house! Hope you get really spoiled for your birthday this year...you certainly deserve it mam!

Nothing much exciting happening here at the moment. Maddy is feeling better so she is full of smiles, just a little phlegm left now. Very relieved. Thinking about going to the gym this morning, we haven't been this week. Maddy was too sick earlier in the week and yesterday I had to go help my sister with a lice outbreak. Poor thing. Her daughter has gotten a third bout of lice in 2 MONTHS because this same parent at the childcare keeps bringing their child in saying they can't get the eggs out of the little girl's hair. Rude. We're off to Indian tomorrow night for dinner; courtesy of John's work which is pretty nice! *L*
