lorelle - we dont have an Aldi down here, never actually seen one, but heard they are great for nappies. funny you asked if i have found an activity for Archie...just then got off the phone to a swimming instructor, booked him in for 10 weeks of swimming lessons starting next week, can't wait! Well done on all that weight loss what a huge achievment!

leanne- yay on the 700grams, well done! another loss is fantastic

nat - yay at Em using his manners, Arch has just started using them too, its so cute when they use them. tried to check out the Thomas bed but the pic didn't load up grrrr

Just signed Archie up for swimming starting next wednesday, can't wait to start, think jay will want to go in with him next week as he has the morning off then. I WON POKER!!! It ended up being between Jay and i and i won woohoo!!! It wasn't for money, just bragging rights. Archie is having huge trouble getting himself to sleep at night again. He will scream for ages and we have to go in there heaps before he actually goes to sleep, if we wait til 8:30 he will go straight to sleep though so maybe he just needs a later bedtime.....i really like the child free time at night though thats the problem...we had a great routine that i got from parent helpline that worked wonders for a month, now it doesn't make a ***** of difference, why do they have to change all the time! Also, fo the first time ever he is wanting his Dad over me! Its really weird cause he has been a total mummy's boy for 20 months and now all of the sudden im not allowed to put him to bed only daddy. Its great for Jay he's loving it, and im enjoying a little bit of freedom all of the sudden
