JaZmum, I am sure christmas at your house would be fun - your big girls are a cool age for christmas.
We were waiting until DH had a job lined up before we shifted back but we got sick of waiting and have decided just to go and sort out a job once we get there. I have booked plane tickets and have the house on the market, hopefully it will sell in time (managed to talk the advertising fee down from $1800 to $750 with a baby hanging off my boob!).

Noni - I might try the cold face cloth. I have been using Bonjela but he sticks his tongue in the way when I am trying to put it on so I am not sure how much actually makes it onto his gums. Is Asha spending much time in her jumperoo? W loves his. He sits/stands in my lap looking over and talking to it until I put him in.
