Hayley, *hugs* on your terrible day, I saw your other post, it's not like you wouldn't notice $2500 now is it, what was he thinking? And I've just got to say I'm shocked that the other mums criticised your decisions, that's just NOT FAIR - we're all doing our best! Hows about a bit of solidarity, ladies. You are a wonderful mum to Maddie and it takes a village to raise a child and sometimes part of that village is a child care centre or FDC - and if there's one thing that's true for the current generation of women - we are between a rock and a hard place with the competing needs for finances vs our hearts desire with our kids. It's no longer possible to live comfortably on one average wage. That's a fact that we all live with and just because some ppl are older or more financially secure or less inclined to pursue their own career doesn't give them the right to judge someone else in a different situation! /rant

Yep I bought some thread to rethread some of my beads for necklaces as well, not sure how that will go as I'm a chronic bead-breaker! I have lots of interesting bits in my bead box, I'm like a magpie that's attracted to shiny bits of glass and I have a fetish gemstone bits as well! It's like unlocking pandora's box getting it all out again, I'll be fiddling for days!

Fianne, yep sort of remember Mr Woodles, what type of creature is he again?

BTW Baby SALE at Target starts tmrw ladies!!
