MM: Marydean's Surefire Sinus Cure
* Use Fess nasal spray - use it several times a day, maximum number of sprays (ie buy the big bottle haha).
* Soak a facewasher in water that is as hot as you can stand, wring it out, let it cool for a few seconds, then fold it into three and place it over your eye/sinus area. Relax. Make sure it's hot but not so hot that you burn yourself. Repeat this 2 or 3 times over a few minutes, then do it several times a day
* Drink lots of water and as many hot drinks as you can get down (recommend trying some nice herbals like lemon ginger twist)
* See the dr in case you have a *real* sinus infection and need ABs!!!

HTH, sounds like you're feeling really miserable. xxx PS DH uses an editing program for work called Adobe Premiere, you can get all those special effects using it, but you need plenty of RAM and drive space on your puter to use it.

Leanne, I bet you never thought you'd see the day where there was a) so much poo and b) you were so glad to see it! LOL Are the boys getting excited about their party now?

Gracie, how is L today - and how are you hun?

Pregpan, enjoy your weekend up at Sydenee. Your DH will be fine once he gets used to it, we've all had to weather parenting alone for several days/weeks at a time and come out ok the other end!

Cally - Aw yum, ages since I've had a burger! Might have to 'go shopping' soon myself. Well done K with the tidy finger-food eating! We've got this fabric thing (actually made to hold them in the shopping trolley) that you can strap bubby into a regular chair (has to have slats and not a big hole at the back tho) which is often quite handy when we're out and about.

Ange, I know what you mean about slippery feet. I've rummaged through plenty of untidy baby sock displays to find the socks that have the little rubber grip pads on the bottom. Bonds does them and I've got some Rio ones as well but I haven't seen them at the shops again. When DD1 was little Bonds did wondersuits called "little adventurers" that had the grippy pads on the soles of the feet - aaah wish they still made those! Excellent once they are toddling about.

I had the parents as teachers lady around today, and she gave E a shiny metal mixing bowl and a spoon to play with - talk about keeping her entertained! The bowl was especially good cos it makes such interesting noises but it also catches the light and she can see her reflection in it. Am going to look for one at the shops today!
