Wow spick and span Arte, hope you get a really good price for it!

Had a "hellrider" of an arvo today, Missy would not sleep but whinged constantly. DH arrived home and bathed her and had her asleep in about 10 minutes - I crashed on the lounge and boyo I feel better now!

Rach I don't envy the climate you're living in! Good thing you have a pool. IF you click on the gallery link in the RH top corner of a post, it will take you to piccies ppl have put up there. I have mine on a website and just paste the url into your siggy (like for your ticker). HTH

Renee, seriously take a photo and EMAIL it to them, I would imagine they will be very interested in the batch information. Eeeew - let us know what they say.

Leanne, i had my adenoids and grommits done when I was little and really they should have done the tonsils at the same time cos they caused no end of trouble. I'm sure he will be fine, they've got it down to a fine art these days.

I wash all our clothes before wearing, most of them come from Asia and have been stored for long periods and have all sorts of dust and micro-dusty itchy creatures in them - I've had a really bad itchy rash one time from wearing something straightaway and don't like to risk it again. Plus someone emailed me these photos of ulcerating sores that were (allegedly) from wearing before washing - eeew. Might have been an urban myth tho.

Jordie - I'm holding off until after 6 mths - can't see the point before then when milk is the main food - I believe what they say about gut readiness, etc, too. Plus we have allergies in the family so we'll be introducing low chemical foods like I did with DD1 who seems to have bypassed the family hayfever/asthma thing. That means lots of cooking from scratch and not using jar food which believe me is pretty labour intensive.

On the same topic LP - golden delicious is the most mild flavour apple (low food chemical) or otherwise you can start with pear (also mild) and move onto apple later.

Noni we were going to have your tuna salad for tea tonight but then I feel asleep on the couch and DH started a lamb tagine so looks like it'll be tmrw instead.
