You're doing the right thing! Free bus pass would be great. Apology would be even better. I'm sorry, i don't know anyone who might be able to help you - but my very good friend is studying law... I don't think he would be able to help though, sorry. Very best of luck with everything. Keep us up to date :-)

Yes, Snowy, we have lost alot of ladies. Shame i know.
It's really strange. Since Ben was born he usually hits milestones 2 weeks before a "birthday" (eg, 6 months, 8 months, 1 year). Its now 2 weeks before he is 2 and it seems as though he has suddenly began really talking! I feel as though i can really communicate with him now. He is now telling me that it's bed time, he wants something to eat/wants a drink etc... It's so fun!

OH! And i wrote that ben hated blankets? THAT NIGHT Ben wanted his doona on him (WOW!). Weird. Now he seems to be warming to the idea of blankets.

Nadine - more kiddies? yes. When? No idea. We talk about it often. But we think it's not a great idea to have a newborn when Dh is finishing his bachelor. At the end of this year we will be hitting a fork in the road and we dont know which way we will go yet (Oz or Germany). It a really difficult decision for us and we want to make sure we are doing the best thing for our family and future. We are still young
