Tali - shopping with GF's is heaps of fun, esp if you like the same things. I used to go with my friend who's in Japan so we can do the boxing day sales (can't wait!), so tomorrow will have to go it alone which I hate. I always like the honest opinions of my friends.

Storms have been really bad again today, we had minor flooding here at my house, my pathway in the front yard was like a pond and alot of my mulch in the backyard has been spread all down the pathway. I haven't seen this much rain in ages, usually we get one really bad day then it stops and they are predicting more tomorrow. Might have to use my new slow cooker tomorrow, its going to be cold and wet so perfect weather for something hearty!

Bath - glad the guide could be of help, its nice to know what they should be doing at certain ages. I agree that lightweights are better for the back. My neice is so heavy to carry and she doesn't hang on very well either so you have to support her the whole time. I don't know how my SIL does it. Oh no, not a virus! Bet V isn't too popular at the moment. Hope the dinosaur comes good with the cure.
