Tara - Honey i'm with you on the cat thing. The motherhood and protector instinct just jumps into action doesnt it!? We've tried the Vet's advice completely and he still continues to urinate everywhere. We've now spent a small fortune on him since Ella arrived and cant continue to do it...
Also with the money i heard some mothers doing some letterbox drops for printers/publishers. So you get to go out for walks and make a bit of extra $$. I'm not sure who you would talk to though.

Gigi - Sounds like you guys are doing really well. I find i'm constantly kissing Ella everywhere. Head, cheeks, hands, feet, bum... she's delicious

AJP - Do you have a pic of your little princess you can share with us? Would love to see Sophie, the love of your life.

Belinda - hope the Gastro is better for little Cooper. Ella was very clingy when her teeth cut through now she's busy blowing raspberries.

We're doing fine here. We found an apartment and are about to make an offer on it. I just hate this negotiation game... But the location is great - lots of parks nearby and a view of the local church/convent (so it will be quiet) and an interesting assortment of shops and restaurants for distractions.
