Well Hello all!

Have been MIA and finally wrestled the 'puter from Matt at about 10.30 and just caught up on posts. Today we had a lunch at Inlaws for our nephew's 2nd birthday. Got to see little neice (1 month old today) again and sorry to say but she isn't cute at all! The poor thing has conjunctivitis but she has a squashed in head, blotchy complexion and generally not nice to look at. I don't mean to boast but Aleise always looked lovely - maybe 'cause she was born via c/s and wasn't pushed out in 2 hours who knows? All of the other SIL's kids, she has 3, didn't look like that at that age and she had natural births for all!. I'm sure she'll grow into a pretty girl though.

Oh yeah MIL told me today she'd put a deposit on that scrapbooking machine and said we only had to give what we could afford and don't feel obligated to give too much. I told her we'd give more than usual 'cause she helped us out ( a little bit) but was secretly thining what extravagant gift she'd like next year!

Bath: I'm with Simone about the socio-economic status thing. I also wish there were more people in this world like you honey! Not all private schools are expensive and most of the Catholic ones will waive fees if they know you're having financial difficulties. I think I posted ages ago that when my parents split my high school waived fees for a while - only because my dad was an A*hole and skipped a few payments! You could always lie and say Verity got a scholarship if it bothers you too much. Personally Ithink if someone judges you about how you choose to educate your child/ren then THEY are the ones being shallow and aren't worth knowing!

IK: Got your email will get back to you if need be (refer to my reply) either way will let you know when I've posted the nappy covers. Glad someone can use them!

Aleise is getting better and caughing less. Still giving her ventolin but only 1 puff twice a day now. Unfortunately her feeds aren't as good as normal but she's getting there as she had 180ml in one sitting today - first time in a week she's had that much in one go. She's not rolling over yet but is rolling from back to her side and seems to be doing this on both sides. She's exploring new toys now and loving new faces.

Well nothing else much to say - better go as it's my shift if she wakes up early - Matt has to work 2morrow

Catch you all soon.
