Dee 78- i just re-read your old post, I so wish we were closer. I know this may sound strange, but what about putting Lochie into care for half a day,one day a week? Was it Simone that said her kids have 13 weeks of free care? How did you arrange that? Your situation is warrent of help! i know you would miss him, maybe try for a week? Maybe even FDC?

Neeny - the brand is "in Essessens", some Chemists sell them, but most health shops have stock. My sisters boy had the same problem and used a vaporisor too. He is now 5 and strong as an Ox - so she may grow out of it?

Simone - giving up smoking is the hardest thing I have ever done. if it wasn't for Ally i would still be puffing. it has been one year, i no longer think about it - it was hard, but you CAN do it.

7th - good luck with the low carb diet! I need that as biccys make up too much of my day...

speaking of biccys - what did you make Baths?

ME: My neck is a tad better - darn nappy bucket, I knew it was too heavy. The Chiro was $55 - ouch.
I'm having some sleep problems with Ally again - as soon as I even walk near her hammock she screams! she just hates going to sleep.

anyway the main reason I wanted to post is to tell you all that: HARVEY NORMAN HAS 15 CENT PRINTS FOR 15 DAYS! so if (like me) you have loads of digital prints of you bubs but no hard copies, now is the time.

Ohh... 9.30am, DH has a job interview now... for a promotion, if he gets it, it will mean more money, but more hours, and I'm not sure if I want him to work more hours. His time with me and Ally is worth more than $$$. I know more money is good, but, well, you all know how grateful I am when he walks in the door and takes Ally for a while. I have no help besides him, no family, no good friends close by who I could ask for help. Anyway, maybe he won't get it? Who knows?

Hope you are all having a great day...
PS Ally has been alseep for over an hour? Maybe the 45min cycle has been broken? (I have been next to her rocking her when she stirs, maybe I will just do that for a week, then hope she sleeps longer on her own?)
