Hello all! Finally I have a moment's peace and time to post!!

My FIL is staying with us this week and next (and last week too - he lives in Warragul but is working in Melbourne ATM) so every day I am having fun socialising with him, and MIL stayed over last night. Went to Poyntons (fancy-pants "garden centre" in Essendon - posh but very friendly) with her and her GF for a walk and lunch and only just got home and settled. She has left now, DH is at uni, FIL is at work and boy is asleep. Ahhh peace!!

Amanda - I sent the vids off yesterday - you should get 'em soon.

Bath - OUCH on the boob front! How is Verity going in preparation for school tomorrow? I remember I was soooo nervous....

Mel - it makes such a difference having decent wardrobes - I love our big built-in in our bedroom - I can have all my clothes (summer and winter) in it without having to resort to storage....(And I did get my Flynn time, thanks!)

Nickers - was Dreamgirls good? I would like to see it (I think I have missed our local M&B session) but my chances of seeing it on DVD are about zero cause DH hates musicals.

Jess - great stuff on the leak! Have you heard anything more about the alpacas? When are all your littlies off to school - this week or next?

Ali - here's hoping that the job goes well! DH is thinking of doing teaching but will be a maths/science teacher, so hopefully his job prospects will be ok.

IK - LOL about the dishes! We have a dishwasher but still they get left in the sink!!

Karen - Flynn has two teeth and I am living in fear of the nip also (shudder) he has tried it once or twice mbut I yelled so loud I think he is scared to now

Gabysmum - another crawler!! My little lump still isn't crawling, but starting to move around on his tummy instead of rolling everywhere (not that I am in a hurry to have him mobile, mind you!!)

Neeny - did you end up going with that agency? As for dentist - I need a check up soon but I think I will wait till next month in terms of $$ cause DH needs to go too and our dentist is in the country (Kilmore). We both might as well make the trip together soon.

KL - you can't pop in and the go AWOL again!! How is little T going?

Well Flynn is teething again - either that or is sick AGAIN! So much for BF babies being resistant to bugs! I think he has a sore throat or really sore gums or something, because he is really clingy and his cry is really sad-sounding, and he is off his food a bit (ie: he doesn't hyperventilate when shown his food bowl anymore). He was up from 3 to 5am last night (or should i say this morning) and although he is tired is having a real hard time getting to sleep for his naps.

Better go and make hay while the boy sleeps and finish cleaning. Haven't managed to do any real work work this week so gotta get on top of that too.....

ciao bellas

ETA : IK, would you like DH to put some pics of his pizza oven during construction on our website - your DH could get some ideas maybe?
