PAP - Ohh thanks so much for your wise words. I know exactly what you mean, I'm just finding it hard to change my attitude towards my MIL. She hasnt emailed me back but she sent me a fwd, so no doubt she has my email but I wont get a reply. I know she thinks I am being over the top, but then again she never see's anything from my point of view. I am going to try & relax about it all, I'm sure M will be fine. As for bottles, M is still on 2 - 3 a day. Morning, night time & occassionaly a small arvo one. When do we start dropping them all together?

Clare - You poor thing those tonsils need to come out already.

Falguni - Bub engaged how exciting, good luck. What special friends you have.

Rainy - I agree, your dad is soooo lovely, he sounds like he dotes over L big time. What a cool granddad!

Noni - Good luck with your wedding, glad your plans are all coming together. There is so much to think about isnt there?
