Chrissy - Huge hugs to you hon. I really hope it all works out ok. Got everything crossed for good luck for you.

Helen - At least Eithan isn't alone... Xander can't keep his hand off it either. Boys will be boys. (Actually, he is really rough with it, you'd think it'd hurt to be honest... oh well)

AnnaT - You do know that the Butternut is actually a pale yellow don't you? Unless it has changed. What an awesome beginners stash you have there... wish I had that to start with. Just think, that $351 would've been gone in no time with 'sposies!

Kellxx - Yep, Club is dark chocolate.. I lurve dark choccie. Oh, the packet did say 'packed with antioxidants' - I must now have HEAPS of antioxidants in my body. I ate the block.

Rikki - That's creepy... woulda sent shivers up my spine if it was my DH. Some things are a little too close to home for comfort sometimes. Still on for Wednesday?

Belle - You opened that pressie yet? Did you like my clever wrapping?

Nelle - Go on... get your hands into it! You haven't lived until you are up to your elbows in baby sh*t. The best bit is that now Xander is on solids, the poop really does just roll off the liner into the loo... but I mostly just hold him over the loo if I notice he needs a poo, so better still!

Shell - Great news that Ash took a little from the sippy cup.

Jodi - Thanks for the chat today... was great finally chatting to you on the phone.

Nessa - How's those cakes coming along? I just finished another and am so happy with it. It's for one of the girls in my Mothers' Groups' Christening.

Maz - Sorry it took so long to send you that e-mail! What do ya think of the idea?

Not much to report here, Xander is still whinging at most given opportunities; but I did get some time out today as Mum came over and looked after him whilst I went to the hairdresser and did some shopping. Bliss. He is so knackered as he didn't have his arvo nap, but thankfully he went down without too much fuss despite being overtired.

Sorry girls, I can't do the chat tomorrow night... got a birthday dinner to go to.
