Rory - how are things today? Sorry I wouldn't know what to do in that situation, having never experienced anything like that with either pregnancy.

Bath - pics are uploaded. Be prepared to gush over little Tallarah, she is beautiful!!! How nice are pram free days. I love it, not having to find a lift or escalator that can take a pram. The trip takes a bit longer but if you are not in a hurry, then definitely worth it. Verity sounds like she earned her brownie points, nice to have a helper around. Well done on the christmas shopping and we have an Oxfam shop at our local shopping centre now, might have to check it out. Heard anymore from the recruitment agency?

Maya - how is Tallarah and her sniffles? It was lovely to have you over, will definitely do it again (while you are still around). Oscar is so good in the water, hopefully Tallarah will take after him in that area. Two water babies! Chelsea thought Oscar was hilarious, she enjoys being the oldest in a group. I still have the muslins, I can either give them to you next time I see you or I can post them. My clotheshorse clown is getting worse! She changes her clothes is she spills a drop of water on them, and she just rips everything out of her draws trying to find what she is looking for...drives me nuts Jan catch up would be fantastic. How's the thrush now? Hopefully not giving you anymore pain now you know what it is. Had anymore people through the house? It must be hard trying to keep everything in order, just in case someone wants to come around. Good luck with your road trip, hope you find just what you are looking for.

Took Marley to see The Wiggles on Monday, it was fantastic. I loved it, Marley loved it and so did my SIL and my niece. Such energy, lots of singing, lots of dancing and it was a big top theme so they had clowns, juggler, acrobats. Marley danced her way through the show and waved so many times I thought her hand was going to fall off. We had excellent seats and I would definitely go again. Been absolutely flat out at work, its always crazy at this time of year with new applicants. Lots of christmas parties and they still aren't over yet!!! But on the plus side only 5 more work days until the holidays and then I have a month off

Christmas shopping still not done. DH and I are going to do it all in one night. Will ask MIL to watch the girls and just get it done. I don't want to have to venture back to the shops again after that, its already crazy.

Happy shopping!
