Tan - yeah, I miss my MG when we have a break, like over Christmas. So relieved to get them back yesterday . . . although there are still some away on hols.

Shell - It has been so hot here. We don't go outside much, it is so nice in the airconditioning, too hot to venture out at the moment. It is a pity because Maddie (my DD) especially loves playing outside. We have been to Lollipops a lot - we love it there. I especially like that adults get a 'free' coffee. It's like compulsory fun.

Kass and Lulu - I hate in-laws. In fact we don't have anything to do with my husband's family anymore, long long story but was not worth the stress they put on our family, especially in the first month after Maddie was born.

Kass asked for my real name and it is Erin - may make it a bit easier to post to.

Took both my kids, Maddie and Josh, for their needles this afternoon. I hate needles and it was traumatic (mainly for me) and I cried as I always do. My DH always comes with us because I can't do it on my own. He usually holds them and I usually do the cuddling bit afterwards. I have had a turn at holding them the last two times though and it is not as bad as I thought it would be, but still hard.
