Bron - I don't have to go back to work until the ned of Jan 08 but at this stage am not interested in going back. I loved my job before I went on leave but now I couldn't give a crap! Will see how I feel later in the year but if I do go back it wont be full time.

Sorry to hear about DH's job, it must be really hard. What is the timeline for Permanent Res? Hopefully not too long so that you can rectify the situation.

Shell - Doni must be due back any time now - you must be looking forward to seeing him and he must be missing DJ. Have fun at your pole dancing this afternoon!

SJ - Sorry to hear about DH's ex being a total pain in the rear. You can vent to me on Friday as much as you like! If you want to catch up earlier in the week just let me know and we can change it. The only day out for me is a Wednesday. I hope that the weekend alone is not too awful, I'd say to catch up but we have a wedding today and I have hockey tomorrow so our weekend is a write off.

Trina - Glad the holiday was enjoyable and I am glad to hear that you are a rollercoaster convert! Mark and I are addicted! We planned our honeymoon around rollercoasters! We have even flown up to the Gold Coast for a weekend when we have heard a new one has opened up on the GC! Haven't been to Currumbin but my folks took my brothers there years ago and the pics look beautiful, especially the ones of the birds at the sanctuary.

Had a crappy day yesterday with Caitlin. The morning was great, she had her 4 month injections and seemed to be ok, she cried a lot more this time when they were done but seemed ok. We went to one of the houses of mothers group to watch Tiff get married on channel 7 and then I went shopping for a dress for the wedding we are going to today. Ended up at Chadstone and all was fine until Caitlin woke up for her feed and then all hell broke loose. We were in the parents room in David Jones and I heated up her bottle and we sat down so she could have it and she started crying hysterically. I think it was the way I was holding her as her legs were sore from the needles. I tried all different ways to try and calm her and even gave her panadol for the pain and she just wouldn't stop screaming. All the other people in the room were trying to offer advise which was making me stress out more and then Mark rang for a chat in the middle of it all and I just burst into tears. I was so embarrassed but I was even more so worried about Caitlin. Chadstone is about 20 minute drive from home and I didn't want her to be screaming the whole way. I'd would get her calm and then try to get her to have some of her feed and then she would get all hysterical again, in the end I got her to take 100ml but she should have had at least 145ml. I finally got her calm enough to sit in her car seat and got her home as quickly as possible. She then did the same thing at her next feed at home but at least Mark was home to help that time. It was horrible and I felt so bad for her not to mention the fact that there were 6 other people in the parents room when I started crying! Anyway, so far today she has been ok so hopefully she is over it - if she does it at the wedding today it will be hard work to try and keep her calm.

Hope you all have a great weekend - Jo.
