Rainy, have a great week. I am sure that the weather will be nice for at least one day for you. BTW, I fully hope your MIL finds out third hand, I would get a smug satisfaction from that if I were in your position.

Cindy, hope everything is alright

Trill, A sounds really cute! Don't they look adorable when they get something they aren't really allowed lol.

MD, hope you hear about the job soon. Its a government job isn't it? They always take ages to reply

Noni, I am still TTC. It does seem that everyone else is getting preg but what can I expect if I am stalking the TTC threads lmao. Have you asked the daycare centres if you can come and just stay there with A and play? Our local daycare lets you come and use all the stuff as long as you stay and look after your own kid. I know it isn't baby free time but it gets you out of the house and gives A something to do.

Clare, you can't buy a house for half a mill???? That is just madness! Have you considered a sea/tree change? For that amount here you would be living in a brand new 5-6 bedroom home, two bathrooms, double garage on a quarter acre with uninterrupted mountain views. The only downside would be the lack of jobs to pay for it lol

I just went to music and heard about a friends sister who is in hospital about to have a baby. She has a kidney stone which can't pass because of the bub so the block is causing her kidneys to fail. She (and hence bub) have been on pethidene since last thursday, she was full term last week but they won't get the baby out. Her midwife put in a formal complaint and now they are doing the worlds slowest induction - gels for three days then breaking the waters on friday. Honestly, you would think if an 18 year old is going into kidney failure they would just c-section the baby out!
