Michelle- that is good about the tt in the day. As for the night training, 1 day they just wake up dry and it keeps happening. LOL at the dummy thing and her stealing Alex's dummy, when you take it off her you have to be cruel to be kind IYKWIM! Arron said to me " are we being mean" and I said it wasn't going to get easierthe older she got. We had and still have nights when she comes out of her room and when she had a dummy she didn't but we plug along. If you can get over a few days then you are usually right! Good luck it's not long now. Have you organised a party for her bday?

Kathryn- The pic sounds awesome, I can understand wanting it blown up on the wall. I actually have a photo I took of a light house at dusk blown up A4 size and framed and I am realy proud of it, it was terrific! Sounds like you will be a busy girl again this year, but that's good that it will only be 2 days at playgrp, will give you a bit more time to yourself. I know you'll do an excellent job! I will wait for the story of the first day on Mon night. Bummer on Andrew not getting a long weekend. rron will be working too, and we had thought we would go to the Werribee Zoo on Sat but little aths is starting up again, so the only chance would be sunday, I guess it will depend on the weather! Don't want to be outside all day in the sweltering heat, and tomorrow is sposed to be way hot here. Re being late: I hate being late but I am very rarely early, kids seem to cooperate less when you are in a hurry. Hope the spots disappear soon.

Jess is sleeping and the other 3 are fighting, I am really annoyed bc Jess misses out on her proper sleep cos they make so much noise. She does sleep through noise but they are just so loud. I have sent them to have lunch. I have vacced, mopped and hung a load of washing. Only 1 load today, woohoo! We are in desperate need of groceries and I am going shopping alone this arvo when Arron gets home. We are working ont he theory that if I do a huge shop then I will not go into the shops everyday and spend $50-70 a day which works out to be something bt $350-490 per week uin the supermarket, which is ridiculous.

I have to ring the drs soon about Jemma's test rsults too.
