Congrats on your 2000th p[ost Rory.
I'm just trying to beat the heat here, its 10 o'clock in the morning and its 32 deg already... Need to go into town but as I haven't got a car( DH 's blew a head gasket and mine is at the Auto Elec's)...Mum just rang, she's going into town for me.(I try not to ask mum for help on hot days!) Well I better get these kids into their cm of water in their pool!

Nic and Ali - I used one of those "lead" things on Chelsea when she was about 2 -2.5 and she was pretty good. It was just one of the wrist straps and I think she thought it was pretty funny! Good luck with it, it can make life so much easier going to the shops etc and knowing they can't nick off! Oh and Ali, great job on the weight loss - you champion!

Rory - well done on 2000 posts! Work is fantastic, I really love going. I am still 2 days a week and from 5th Feb I go 3 days. Marley will go to creche Thurs and Fri and MIL will have her Tues. I so love our creche that I have absolutely no hesitation in sending her. The carers are just amazing and I know she will benefit alot from interacting with other kids and learning lots of new things. I get a bit worried when DH has both girls, but he usually surprises me and does great. They really love spending time with their dad. Can't believe DH is still waiting for an interview, they must love taking their time. Its great that you have your work "mojo" back. It will make going to work a whole lot easier. I find that when I am at work, Marley is a much happier toddler. I think me being with her all the time drives her nuts!!! I couldn't imagine trying to work full time, I like my days off and I think part time is a perfect balance. When I am home, we have dinner and baths done by 6pm. The kids prefer an early dinner and I like getting them off to bed early so DH and I can have some time together.

Jess - it was stinking hot here this morning too, thankfully now the cool change has hit and its a very pleasant 24. Sure beats 41!

Might be catching up with Tali tomorrow, so hopefully we can work out a good time. I am really looking forward to meeting her. Maya might join us too, if she is not too busy.
