Lis - that is so gorgeous. My GF is 8 months pregnant and not having a fun time. Her 2.5 year has for a few months now stomped up to her and said "Mummy sick. Lie down". She then drags her to the couch, covers her with a blanket and puts a flannel on her forehead! So incredibly cute. Great news that your MS is under control - hopefully it will disappear for good soon.

Erin - you're so lucky your DH goes with you for needles. Mine came with me for the first time last time, and that was only because Iz needed her 18 month and Ellie her 6 months and I told him there was no way I was going to be capable of looking after two unhappy girls together. He's such a wuss though - hates to see them upset.

Tan - repeat after me "My name is Tan and I'm a bit of a weirdo" . . . I would be the same though - just nice to where they are and that they're safe.

Shell - I hope you find an airconditioner that does the job. I would be lost without mine at the moment. My girls are a bit moody as it is. I'm sure they would be diabolical if we were trying to cope with the heat without one.

Want my latest IL rant? BIL's birthday coming up and you know what we're "buying" for his present? Paying out his mobile phone contract!! ****. This is a childless couple who are both professionals. Living rent free in my SIL's house while she's overseas. I'm sorry, but birthday presents are not about paying their bills!!! It makes me so angry and its a perfect example of how stingy they are (in all ways - giving of their time, emotion, money (which is the least of it) and just general lack of thoughtfulness). I end up getting really grumpy and snapping at DH and its not his fault. Poor bugger. They just do things so differently to my family (I keep telling my parents to STOP changing their lives for me and the girls, buying them things all the time etc) and I really struggle to not lose my temper all the time.

Anyway, rant over. Off to enjoy another beautiful, scorching day in paradise. Have a lovely day everyone.
