nelle you asked about the carnation milk old advice, yes it was used years ago, as was powdered sunshine milk this was mainly when formula was a luxery, but when i spoke to the CHN she said there is no nutritional value to it so all he would be getting is the liquid i may as well give him straight water, anyway i felt the dr should have given me other alternatives such as the soy, all i could think of when put on the spot was lactose free etc
anyway jack is doing ok with soy taking it no worries
boo (* ithink ) you said something about leaving riley, this is the first time besides a visit to hair dresser that i have left him i have ducked to shop (10min) anyway he did ok i did ok and jase was good

Awww Maz.. you're so sweet, but I aint no pussy cat doll they've got boobies! How's the m/s going? I hope you are starting to feel a bit better.
Chrissy - I wish I got to ride the bike heaps. The weather lately has been too crappy to bother... and I'm too old for riding around in the rain for fun (I used to love it as the wet roads made the back tyre step out and slide)
Nelle - I think we get new threads just to make the thread file size smaller .. maybe for those still stuck on dial up??? Dunno really, was just a guess.
Belle - Thanks for the chat yesterday, are you feeling a bit better today hon?
Chrissy - what a complete b*tch of an ex - you wonder how some people can live with themselves !!!
Rach - yay on Jack standing up - Rylee is just about there..
Maz - hope Vy sleeps better tonight, I had R in bed with us last night, hardly slept at all..in fact she is still in bed with me now snoring her little head off.
Hi to everyone else.
Anywya, better get up and on with the day I guess..sorry this is short and uneventful.
Have a good one girls.
Laurin
Wow, just saw on my ticker Rylee is 10 months old today - oh I feel like crying, my little baby is growing up fast, wow, not long till our babes will be a year!!!
Kell- You must be miss organised thinking of xmas already! I go get presents bout week before.
Chrissy- Is centrelink taking your word for it? That ex of Craigs sounds like a real piece of work. Hearing all these things bout her since I've known you I feel like going and knocking her out or something.
Seeing as Matt is on holidays I left Ash with him and met my mum and sister in city for lunch and window shopping. Ash has her daddy wrapped round her finger cause she refused to sleep for him and carried on til he got her up out of bed.
