    Saffi, I have the p&t E3 as well which is a older model but I love it esp when Ihad both the boys in it. I barely noticed that I was pushing 2 kids in it! It is really easy to fold down and very light as well. The thing about reviews is that is covers every ones opinions so you will get the bad ones with the good. What were some of the comments about it?

    My oldest Cyndell is doing OK she has no voice so she is getting picked ona bit LOL and because she is whispering Kaleb keeps whispering at her back it is so cute.

    Well I treid kaleb in the bottom bun tonight after his day sleeps were going so well in it. he played around for a bit but went to sleep OKish so I will keep it up I think and I will put the cot away thsi weekend! Very scarey my baby is growing up tooooooo quickly.

    Willow - I can't believe you have the same bassinette too LOL! We all have such great taste . Where did you find sheets to fit? I have a couple of cotton sheets, but I'd like some flanelette ones because it will be SO cold. I also realised the person I bought it from threw in a mattress protector, bonus! You sound so organised now! Can you believe you'll be full-term in just over a week?

    Mo - I hope you all start feeling better soon you poor things .

    Misskate - It's so nice when they start talking more isn't it? It makes it much easier to know what they want. I made Joel breakfast the other day and as I brought it out K asked "Where's mine?" it was so funny!

    Nic - Wow! I can't believe you drove all the way to Melbourne with the boys by yourself! If you're ever down again let me know, I'd love to meet you IRL

    Paycyn - What a big boy Kaden is sleeping in the bunk bed! They grow up FAR too quickly!!

    Amber - Sorry you are still sick . I'm glad you still managed to get out to the Expo, yay on the new nappies! How's Terri going these days? Tell her I said hi!

    Well, I'd better go and throw some boys in the bath. I'm so tired today, I can't wait until they're in bed and I can have some peace and quiet!

    Kim- How lovely I know you missed them but it's good to get some quality couple time too

    Paycyn - I hope they feel better soon!

    Trish- grats on the lovely bassinette , how's your back recovering from your nesting extravaganza? (I know I cant spell lol). Yep work knows I'm probably getting fired at the end of the year but oh well . It is very tiring Im lucky Ry is a really lovely docile child... minus the tantrum he's currently having because he can't run off with my drink (chocolate milk)

    Amelia - *hugs* my mum always tells me it is easier to catch flies with honey than vinegar... I told her that's nice I prefer to kill the flies :P not really great relationship advise though. I hope things settle soon and he starts showing some appreciation.. have you thought about a sit down or perhaps some counselling if needed?

    Kaz - Yep we are close , there seems to be a lot of people going back for more torment.. I mean joy.. haha jks. I'm feeling fine, just really tired, yourself?

    Kellie- I think it's the repeatative nature you just get up, go to work, come home, repeat. I just keep thinking of the money and what I want to do with the house before bubs number 2. Probably be a SAHM again looks like they will fire me anyway so shall see!

    Amber - Haha I thought everyone must have got lost... the crickets have been chased away that's for sure! Hope your snuffles are feeling better soon. I'm pretty good just really tired. Besides the snuffles how's everyone going?

    I'm cooking a roast for a belated Yule celebration . No pressies this year will have to be more organised for Beltainne in October!

    That's about it from me for now, wee man is changing between wanting to play and attention to wanting him time, I think he's working up to another tickle and chase session around the house... much to the displeasure of the cats hehe

    *healing thoughts for all the snufflers!*

    I loved having a 24 hour child free break. Im comfortable leaving my babies over night/few days. I do miss them though, but you need a break now and then when your with them 24/7 and dont get out much.

    Trish - I haven't put any sheets on yet so I hope they fit (I was given them by a friend)...realised after I'd washed them all that i DON'T have a mattress protector I brought a pack of two when I was prg with L, but I think I must have included both of them when I sold his bassinette I thought I kept one but can't find it. So will have to get another one. I've got 3 sets of cotton but was thinking about getting some flanelette - Big W sell them for $10 apparently.

    Did you see the thread about the warnings on the Target flanelette cot sheets? I brought two new sets and they have a warning saying 'not suitable for children under 12 months' - huh??!! They're COT sheets....babies sleep in cots....

    Well Kaleb went fine in the big bed last night YAY so no more cot for him I will have to get another safety sleep for taking away with me to mums so I don't have to take it off the bed etc.

    Willow very weird about the cat sheets saying that?????? I would give them a call about it and ask the reason if it were me. I really can't see why it would be a problem esp as you would be washing them first before use.

    The longest i left M for was the 4 days i was in hospital, but i have left M with her Aunty o/n a couple of times just because i felt Kodi was missing out having 1 on 1 time with us & because M was driving me absolutely nuts that i needed a break lol.

    Amber haven't booked tickets yet I was going to do it today but then Phil decides he may get over his fear of the "big bad plane" & come with us.
    I'm hoping he decides to come just so i can bring M along.
    Will let you know very soon what's happening

    I'll bbl Miss K is crying & M needs a bum change.

    *Sigh* I just wrote a big long post and K came and pressed a button that made me lose everything so sorry for no personals atm!

    I was just going to share a laugh - Just before K hid in the corner grunting, then came up to me saying "Mum? Poo!" then he ran up the hallway shouting "Let's go! Let's go!" and then tried to climb up his change table . He obviously didn't want to sit around in that nappy LOL!

    I'll be back later and try again...

    We are having shocking day today.
    M is refusing water, went out & brought her a pop top & filled it with water and she drank some.So will keep trying to trick her with that. On a positive note she is eating more which is making me so happy.

    K is refusing the boob & wont even let me put her down for a minute. A little worried about her lack of wet nappies but hoping she'll cluster feed tonight & make up for it.

    Trish what a cute story, M does something similar when she has a pooey bum.

    Willow very weird about the cot sheets, not sure what to make of that.

    Paycyn yay for Kaleb sleeping in the big bed.

    Haha Ry tells me he's done a "yuck" when he wants a nappy change and rolls over on the floor with legs in the air . Though I'm pretty sure I wouldnt want to sit around in that either!!

    Not much to tell, all well here I feel icky tired though early night tonight . Hope everyones well and gets some sleep!

    What a lot of chatterboxes!

    Trish - sounds like K might be ready to start TT. L points down to his winky and says wee wee.
    Amber - I was thinking about a rollerboard too but think L might be a little young for it and I can't trust that he will stay on it. I didn't really use my carrier with L so that's also an option. Too many decisions to make.
    Karen - great that Kaleb has taken to sleeping in a big boys bed. Sounds too easy.
    Nic - glad you had a nice time in Melbourne.
    Kellie - I didn't know you were working 3 days/week. No wonder you haven't been around much. From experience, it will take you a while to get into a routine and there will be days when you are too exhausted to cook or clean. Just do what you can and don't set too many expectations on yourself. I'm going to hang up my superwoman cape if you want to borrow it LOL
    Mo - hope the day got better for you. Good that M is drinking. Experts keep saying toddlers will eat when they are hungry enough. More important that she keeps the fluid intake up.
    Willow - maybe the warning about the flanno sheets is to do with SIDS and overheating?
    Celtic - do you think your work will fire you because of your pregnancy? It is illegal for them to do that. Tho it sounds like it might actually be a relief for you if it does happen.
    Kate - the crowds around the nappy stalls were pretty big. I'm a disposables girl all the way but I can see how people find them addictive.

    Anyway, being a major stress bunny with all this moving business. DH is cleaning the oven racks atm as it is too caustic for me to do.

    Hi to everyone I've missed.

    Hi girls!

    I'm here and the move is over (until our 12 boxes of carpola arrive!)! I still don't have a computer at home, so my messages will be few and far between. Don't forget me though!

    I'm sorry to hear about all the sickies out there.....winter is awful! I wouldn't know about that anymore! I don't think Singa's has seasons! It's just Hot & Muggy constantly.

    Max travelled well on the plane, and has settled in well here.....he went to bed at 9pm tonight though, he was so tired! It's hard because their day's start late and end late....doesn't stop my boy waking at 6:30am still though!

    I'll be back in a couple of days...don't talk TOO much!!!!

    Love to all

    Julia great that the move went well for you now that unpacking and settling in. I moved back to NZ from Canberra nearly 4 yeras ago and it was stress to say the least esp wehn I went in Dec and didn't get any of my things till the end of january!!! And it all left on the shop before me!!!!!

    Kaleb never want his changed he could be in poo up to his neck and he wouldn't care 1 little bit! He does tell me he has poos but then runs away from me quickly. He said a new word to day he said marsmello but it came out more like masmellow so cute. He was busy clapping int he car today then holding his arms over his head saying "YAY!!!" then "I did it" not to sure what he did but he was having fun all the same.

    Anyway I hope everyone is well and that all the rpegnnacies are going fine atm and that any impending ones are getting ready to move into the big bad world!
