Bathsheba - definitely go the Myer sale! There are heaps of cool things for real cheap. Check out the Miss Shop, too, for some cheap tops (polo style) at $10 each. There are also some cross over tops that may come in handy for feeding for the same price. Check out the ladies casuals section, too, for discounted Bonds long sleeve v-necks - I am finding these great for during the day (they pull up easily and I keep a gathered bust singlet that pulls down easily to that I can keep my belly covered from the cold) and also for wearing with my flannel pj pants. Buy cheap undies cos there are heaps! Kids clothes are heavily discounted, and while you're at it you may want to stock up on DH undies In shoes they have some cute Supersoft shoes for $60 - very worth it, I bought a pair for about this much (after staff discount and a percentage off sale) earlier this year and they really are super comfy. They have them in black, blue, green, red and cream.
As for sheets, if you don't find anything (and I doubt that you won't), there is always next week's Aldi catalogue - damask 375 thread count quilt cover sets for $49 in cream, burgundy and latte. I'm trying to talk DP into it...I LOVE bed linen!
Ali - Gonna try the new plan soon. I don't feed lying down in bed cos attachment isn't good enough for this to actually be comfortable yet! I was sitting up, but even though I was sitting up straight with two pillows behind me, the LC reckons the angle may still have been too sharp (Oscar sitting too high for my nipples) in bed. What I inadvertently did was pull a simple chair up to her desk because DP sat in the other swivel chair with Oscar. When she wanted to see me feed I just stayed put in that chair and voila! it was comfortable attachment!
DP is lying on top of the bed and I've just finished a huge load of laundry folding. I'd like him to feed the dog, being that he's bailed on the vacuuming (sticking to my guns and midwife/nurse recommendation to avoid vacuuming till week 6) and I'm saving my sore shoulders for feeding so I won't do the dishes tonight, either. I just want to get ready for bed so I can get the boy-child ready, too.
Good night all!
