Hello, hello hello!! It's so nice to be home again on BB!

Welcome Catherine, nice to see you! You are doing well going back to work (even if it's not by choice!), bugger about the circumstances though. What a brave little boy for his needles.....yay for Flynn. Not nice I know, Jake had his Monday and did much the same but it still breaks your heart to subject them to pain... . Are you guys BF? Good for Flynn on the wind front too.....what a little wonderboy you have...

Teachmum and SJ, thanks Nice to know there are no hard feelings there. And don't worry I know I'll be stalking you guys for sure, check out what YOU guys are chatting about, . Danni, I still stalk you, see how you and Jazz are going....especially in the lead up to Jazz's birth....you had me going for days! It's nice to have someone from TTC buddies with a bubba the same age as mine.

Andie, congrats on the pageant.....what a star! Like someone (??) said, when he's famous we can say we know him....and all the troubles he caused his mumma!! lol And the pic....I need to do one too, and a ticker....some day! As far as the celebs...pfft! We could all SO look like that if we had the erm....resources they do!

Melinda, I am SO very happy James is settling for you. I was worried when I hadn't heard from you in a couple of days.... It's a tough time and you have soldiered on. You have done a better job that I could have. Good on you for the Motillum too...that's something I probably should have done. I gave up on the BF morning and night....my supply just wasn't there even for that. I do miss the cuddles with BF but (and as I have done with all the bubs!) my little make up for that contact is I always cuddle my kids to sleep. Bad habit I know ( and I DO know....been there twice now!!) but it's our little snuggle time which I really enjoy.

Luey, bugger, bugger bugger on the wind. Sorry...we don't have wind here anymore... not long now and he should be growing out of it like reenie said. Until then...good luck! Your tops sound great, let us know how they are. I know i'm not BF anymore but still like to ba able to pass opinion on these things to friends, lol.

Reenie, I could have written about FF myself like that. I too enjoy not having to watch what I eat as I'm sure that was a problem with us too. Although on this damn diet I can't eat much anyways.....grrrr. TBH though...I have cheated....all the time!!! ROFL. Half a bikkie here...a couple of chips there.....lol. Please remind me how bad i've been when I complain about my lack of weight loss next week!! On the poos....Jake still is only once every three or so days which is nice. But they aren't so stinky and are nice and compact, no runny ones here! He's very obliging actually, he usually has a little parcel in his nappy and then while I have it off he finishes his 'business' into some flushable wipes...makes using cloth nappies SO much more pleasant!!

Robbo, I have been stalking you on your blog....lol!! I love your photos, you are very talented. Enjoy the expo, I'm so jealous, especially of all the fluff!! Man MCN is SOOOO addictive!! I have on layby some BBH AIO's (for as you said the dad factor! lol) and on ebay I have 2 AIO's coming, again for the dad (and anyone else!) factor. I have my own little experiment here ready to sew....I'm so nervous! It's just a fitted terry outer/flanelette inner with bamboo hidden layers. Bit like the pooky pocket quick drys but with a hidden layer. We'll see......

I had a crappy day here.....that's why I waited until now to post, I was too sh***y! lol. Took me ages to get anywhere today, had a million errands to do up the street, ended up finally getting out of the house at 9;30, only to get home to the bombshell I left just in time for jakes 11am feed. The last of our eldest fish died (we still have two but these are new) I suspect largely due to me not cleaning the tank for around 10 weeks...... Oh and the other fish half ate him.....noice!! So we flushed what was left and did an emergency clean. House was a mess all day (drives me bonkers!), kids drove me mad....then at 5:45pm tonight, Chloe was being a silly bugger in the hall and tripped over with a plastic cup in her hand, which broke in her face!! I rushed her to the Drs (being so close to closing on a friday....no drs here on weekends, have to go to hobart). She has a little hole in her cheek, luckily it didn't need gluing (I'm very paranoid about scars on faces as I have alrge one on my cheek...) but she has a massive bruise/lump right between her eyes which will result in two black eyes.....*sigh*. Been crabby with DH as he refuses to discuss finances with me at all but then gets sh***Y when we have no money......and it goes on.

Anyhoo....this has been an essay. Have fab weekend, I have a lovely visit from my crazy Aunt tomorrow......not fun.....she really is 'different' lol.
