Cally are you watching season 1 or 2? I loooove that show, season 2 is getting even weirder than season 1 was, if that's even possible LOL. Heading to QE2 next week, have decided it's probably really good timing and apparently there's a counsellor there too which is good because I'm FREAKING OUT now that I'm only only 3 weeks off being a single mummy again.

MM and Clare - so glad E is not the only bub with only 2 toofies - or even none! Aaargh she's been teething and in pain for such a long time, it's not fair little bubba. I feel like a bad mumma for our reliance on baby panadol etc, but you gotta do what you gotta do.

Pregpan - far out about your new position - sounds exciting. I'm sure you will love your time in Melb too. Remember though, you've got to squeeze me in for a coffee sometime before December !

Chepie, good luck with the return to work. I've been taking a week here or there of "annual leave" in the middle of my mat leave which brings in a few dollars at a time. It's never really enough but our financial situation has been far worse than this in the past and I know we can live frugally when we need to. However am planning to return to work when E is around 18 mths old, maybe 3 days a week if I can.

Gracie, sorry your visit to the drs was a waste of time. How are you feeling about taking another year's leave next year?

Arte, wow snow at your place! My emigrant friends have had snow on their property too - amazing! It does feel like there's snow in the air right now but it's too dry here ATM.

Trillian, my (.Y.)s are holding up just fine, I'll let the girls know you were asking after them LOL. TBH I think my supply has dropped anyway cos E is such a busy little beetle, she really only has a couple of good long feeds a day and I sometimes worry if this means she will wean earlier than H did. But just lately she's getting more demanding about asking for boobie so maybe not.

Speaking of beetles, I just scored a wheelie bug on ebay (buzzy bee colours). Am going to hide it in the cupboard for Christmas.

Jaz, congrats on the anniversary! Enjoy your time out together.

Re the trackies, I don't really have any but I'm eyeing off some night aubergine velour ones at Myer right now! LOL if you're going to live in them they might as well be 'up market' ROFL.

I'm sure there's more but I must away. ((Hugs)) to everyone!
