thanks for your advice girls

andie- i've put some daktarin nappy rash cream on it, and if it's not cleared by monday i'll def take him to the dr. what were the other symptoms with hand, foot, mouth?? i really really hope it's not that- especially as we've got a special weekend away booked for next weekend.
lol about peeing on your foot, they're so funny aren't they? what is the actual age difference b/w your two boys?
hugs about all the nasty divorce stuff you have to think about...i'm still holding out a romantic hope that you two will get back together, sorry if that's a bit cheeky!

hayley- the sleeping thing is a nightmare isn't it? L only sleeps through now and then, most nights he wakes but thankfully only needs a cuddle back to sleep.
how's everything with pita mil? i think you and i must have done something really evil in a past life to deserve our mils LOL

clare- i've actually got a tub of the red paw-paw that was given to me before L was born, never been opened so i might have to give it a go. i really wanted to avoid using a heavy strength cortisone or anything, so i'll try that first.
so with what you were saying about the housing market the other day, doesn't that mean it would be a good time to buy as things are cheaper? or isn't there much to choose from as people aren't selling?

afm- well i bought a lovely new leather couch from freedom this morning in their after xmas sale. i'd been hunting for one for a few months and then i saw an ad in the newspaper this morning saying that one of the styles i had my eye on at freedom was reduced to $1400 so we toddled on over there, only to find that it was the same couch but in a cheaper leather that was $1400- the one i really wanted was actually $1600 ggrrr, so annoying and misleading- didn't mention it at all in the ad....anyways after much umming and ahhing...and the fact that they had it in stock, i decided to still buy it. it's floorprice was $2000 so it was still reduced, but originally i only wanted to spend about $1200 iykwim? always seems to happen to me! it's a lovely couch though.
lewis did a poo while we were there and can you believe they had no changing facilities whatsoever, so i had to change him on the concrete floor of the ladies room. how hard is it to put one of those cheap folding change tables in there?
anyway..on the way out of the shop he broke a ceramic toilet cleaner so i thought 'oh well, stuff it' and we just left it...norti, i know
