Well... I hoped to make a few extra $$ on eBay - but my main motivation was to clear some of the crap from my house. So, I was incredibly happy when my auction finished last night - and the total price was $384 !!!! There was only 10 items! So now I'm motivated to go an load up half my house on eBay! (the wine rack ended up selling for $56!!)

Sara - hugs to you with your IL situation... and it seems that Brent is not much help with the problem either. You've had enough stress without having to deal with them too. I don't know how you cope. I would have gone nuts by now. Can you lock your doors so they can't get in in the mornings? then just say "oh, I forgot".
Hey - if you come to Melbourne - and you've got some spare time - lets catch up! I'll drive to where ever you are! msn me if you don't have my phone number.
As for the bed situation - I wrote a post asking for others experiences:
What age to go into a bed??
If you do a post in there - it will bump it up again and we might get some more responses. Shaun's room is chockers at the moment - so first step is get the sofa bed out of his room. Then I can fit the bed into his room. I think I will start trying to get him to sleep in his bed for his day time naps. And in 2-3 months I will put him in there for his night sleeps. Not that he's sleeping!!! He's gone back to his 4 hour nightly 'naps'... waking up at 12, 4am & 8am.

Kim: Not much I can say - but sending you some cyber hugs!!! And yay for Darcy getting her 3rd tooth!!! Shaun sprouted 3 teeth in ONE week!

Leanne: I've been feeding Shaun chicken nuggets for a while now. My stepmum suggested it - and he loves them too!! I tried him on skinless frankfurts - but he doesn't like them. I really must try to expand his food choices. I don't 'cook' - and he doesn't like much jar food - so I better get my act together. I have to buy some fishfingers and try him on those. Actually, I should try to make up a few dishes, like rissotto & pastas, and put them in individual containers and put them in the freezer. Actually, I could put them into zippy bags into the freezer. Mmm... better get organised and do that. Will make life a lot easier if I could just whip out a bag of food & defrost it in the microwave!

My cleaning has come to a standstill. Every day I say I'm going to get stuck into it - then I end up spending 90% of my day on the computer!!!!
