Nic - would love to have you over next time you are out this way. Working in Bayswater, you will know the area. Maybe give gym a miss, don't want to aggravate a sore back. Too hot anyway LOL!!!
Simone - forget men for the moment! One of my really close friends was married with 3 kids (all boys, twins were 4 and other was 6) and she left her husband and spent many years on her own. She met an absolutely fantastic man a few years ago, they married and she now has a 3 year old daughter and a 2 month old daughter. Her sons are now 15 & 17, so it took her a long time to met someone, but she has certainly met the right one! He had no kids, but willingly took on her and her 3 sons. They are the most wonderful boys, very well spoken and love their mum to death. She has done a great job of essentially raising them on her own. You don't need a man to make you a whole person. Use this time to focus on you and the kids and maybe find something that you really want to do. I have no doubt, you will so much better off and so will the kids. If there is anything I can do, just call. You have been very brave and strong through this, so keep it up and remember, keep smiling!!!! For energy, try berocca - I take one every few days and it works a treat! But makes your wee flourescent yellow (sorry TMI!!!!)
Dee - as the others say, all babies are different. Maybe your DH needs to talk to other mums whos kids don't sleep as I know there are plenty of them around. I think its more the "norm" for them not to sleep through, I hear so many stories about it particularly from friends. Don't doubt yourself, you are doing everything you can. Lachlan will sort himself out soon enough, just hang in there.
Jess - hope the fires aren't near you. It must be awfully dry out your way?
Bath - I love tandoori chicken! Good meal idea for a hot night. Salad for us, thankfully Chelsea loves lettuce, tomato and olives!!! Thank god for a cooler day tomorrow. Glad the fenugreek worked - I think I still have some here so if you need somemore let me know. It was expensive and I would hate it to go to waste. It's tablet form but I know you were using the powdered one.
IK - sounds like fun at the pool. Leftovers are so yummy and taste that much better second time around!
Took Chelsea to MIL place for a swim, she has a nice pool but not heated. Chelsea doesn't care, she just jumps in and I am so amazed at how good she can swim. The lessons are certainly paying off. I couldn't be bothered going in so I just dangled my legs and even dipped Marleys legs in - she thought it was pretty nice. DH came after his course finished and had a quick dip. Wonder when this cool change will hit? Soon I hope. Lucky we have air-con!
