Maya - Thank God my dogs arn't the only gross ones around!! I think its one of their fav treats lol ok before I write this I warn you it may be too much info for those who dont have dogs...

I have a friend who was tring to train her DD as she was 3 and still doing poo's in her undies, anyway she was outside playing when she started to cry and scream so my gf went over to see what the problem was to find her dog licking her dd's bum as the poo came out her poor little girl was so grossed out and upset that she never poo her pants again, so there is always a bright side to the poo outside it could train your kids lol.

Mel- hope your air con works soon it the busyest time up here for fridgies they are alway run of there feet having to fix the air cons that haven't been turned on for 9mths. Have you checked the filter(sp?) as if blocked with dust that will stop it working and check the unit on the outside as they can get wasp nests in the back plus dirt so it might just need a hose out.

Nic - you made me tied just hearing about your day at the park makes you wonder why you both sometimes it will get better you just have too wait untill they are a little bit older. All my children have had jaundice but only my son was put under the lights at day 4 the girls just were sleepy babies and needed a little more sun, But I would have thought it should have cleared up by now, so maybe ask someone.

Well we are off to the shops today to get some christmas lights for the tree realised last night that we only have some for outside and DH didn't want to rap that many around the tree. will take a photo when the kids have finish the decorating today.

must go and shop now, catch you all later, have a good day.
