Yeah - I am pretty happy that Shane's kids dont spend much time withus. I would have issues being the wicked stepmother for sure. It would be very, very tough!
Trish - Aaaah it all makes sense now! I was really confused about you thinking the girls were so young Mind you - I wouldn't be surprised if you ae happy for Tehya to remain your little girl forever.
I hope your headache goes away. Good on ex for stepping in, even if it does seem a little late. Better some effort than leaving it all to you huh?
Jenna points to all the things too now - including her nu-nu. Thats a personal favourite these days!! Yanking on it included. Ahhhh dear. As for the finger, well she's quite often out and about with it up her nose, so I've almost given up on telling her to take it out. At least she knows where it is.
She gets really, really frustrated with Shane's glasses - not sure if your kids did the same wiht you? She pulls them off, then pokes him in the eyes, where as I just get the pokes.

I have just been down tot the travel agent. Shane has finally agreed not to buy a motorbike, and to let us go for a holiday!!!!! YEEEEHA! So wqe are probably going to do either Darwin or Cairns/Port Douglas as I need me some sun I would lvoe to go to an island, but no countries will let me in after about 7m I think, and I dont think you can get travel insurance, so north oz it is.
We are going to go somewhere that has childminding facilities, so at least we can have a couple of days to ourself - or at least a couple of hours. Kids clubs dont start til they are 5 bum it all.

Deb - I'm sure you have realised that Neil isn't a talker At least you are still ringing each other - touching base is very important for you both. Rob and I once spent 6m apart in a year, we split up the following year. Its too hard for me to be away from shane - I couldn't do it for more than a couple of days.

Tanya - How are you? I see you posting in a few places, but just lurking here huh? Any news? fingers crossed for you.
