We've had a full on day! Maddie and I went to a young mothers group today, just a bunch of Perth girls from facebook. The girls there were great fun! We had such a good time and i'm not meaning to offend anyone, but it was so great to get out there and speak to girls around my age with babies around Maddies age iykwim. Poor Madeline is buggered though.

Marydean - Sorry to hear about your bad shopping experience. That has happened to us many times before as well. I'm fine going out and to the shops with Maddie on my own, but I dont do food shopping anymore without DP. Just too hard.

Jazmum - Apparently they do keep track of the mls, nappies etc, but I've yet to find out where.

Cally - I havent really bought any clothes for Maddie lately, but I put away a whole stack of newborn and 000 clothing the other day. She is into 00 and very soon she will be in 0 (little chubby chops) and she doesnt have many of these two sizes, so I'm thinking I'd better go stock up while clothes are on sale!! When do the sales end, anyone know??

Does/has anyone used family day care? I'm going to have a look into it tomorrow. I pay $60 a day for childcare and apparently FDC is a tad cheaper and the children get more one on one time with the caregiver. Just worried because my dad said to me that you get what you pay for and I know he is right, but surely FDC must follow some sort of regulations like a normal centre?? If I'm going to be working 2 days a week, I want to make it worthwhile, therefore I want as much money in my pocket from it as possible.

Yay DP just called, he is about to get on the plane and come home woo hoo!!! He bought 80 cars!!!!! Extra woo hoo lol!
