Bel - i hear you on the MIL sitch. I have one of those that I just don't trust either, you might recall my huge whinge about her last time she visited a few months back. It was a nightmare. She is nuts too. But if you can settle the baby to sleep and then head out for your night out, she can just call you if there's a change and you come home. What could go wrong? Do the engagement party, sounds like a good excuse to have a few drinks.

Gee I'm learning more and more about slapped cheek. Al actually was looking very flushed in the cheeks again today. But no temp and I can see the second tooth breaking through, so maybe that. The jet lag is a killer too, he had a tough day - very tired and grumpy, but I reckon if he can sleep tonight we will be able to get into the day properly tomorrow. Hopefully.

Kate - poor love. I remember how tired I felt too. Hope you got a good sleep this night.

Fletch - hope you don't get sick. it is a pet hate of mine that people go to work (now MGs!) when they are sick and spread it around to everyone else. I skipped a mother's group once already cos I was sick. Felt like a lame excuse at the time, but I really didn't want to spread it.
Cute that Zane likes to slap. So does Al. Bang! Bang! Bang! and Boo! are his favourite words he likes to hear from me.

Oop, gotta go! Hi to everyone!
