    Oh no, you've got me a bit worried about Rainy & J now with this horrible swine flu!? I hope all is ok, has she posted anywhere else on BB? I am so scared of this swine flu, I know everyone says its all hyped up but I worry!

    As for PAP....hopefully today is the day!?

    Trill - Ohhhh the man flu, hope that passes soon, what a nightmare. Are you a 'mean' wifey who banishes the hubby to the spare bed? Hehe I do! What does P go to a speechie for, did she have trouble when she was younger etc? Sorry dont mean to pry. I guess also having P see a speechie, you learn all the little tricks etc & what to look out for when it comes to A. I'm sure A will be fine with his talking, the few words that M has can also be very unclear at times, only we know what she's saying iykwim?

    Clare - I cant find a pic of this pram!

    Leemar - What an absolute bargain! Well done. It must be nice having a little girl playing with dolls etc, after having two boys. You get the best of both worlds really dont you? I saw Myer have cheap, cute little doll sets, like a dolls swing & bed etc atm, & SO CHEAP!

    Arte - My gosh W is SO SMART! What a cutie, I couldnt stop smiling imagining him buying his lolly pop, he sounded like he was very proud of himself.

    As for the toy sales, I havent even bothered yet, after reading peoples status updates on FB & seeing that people are venturing out at midnight to line up? What! I like my sleep too much. Besides I dont know if they do that here in sleepy slow Perth? I do have my eye on a trampoline this yr, probably for chrissy, so no doubt we will go put one on layby soon. Also I want to get M a water play table, she drives me nuts getting her water & tipping it into cups & bowls, so I figure it would make an awesome summer toy.

    What do you girls think of the 'young ones maxi climber' in the target catalogue on page 25? Do you think this is maybe a bit too young for M at the age they are now? I dont know, I wonder if she would lose interest with it? Maybe I am better off buying a nice big little tikes slide etc?

    H, I reckon it would be fine. The Little Tykes stuff is great, but sooo expensive. It is all quite good quality now, whereas a few years ago anything that wasn't little tykes was just terrible. All my kids love to play on that stuff, cept Lindsay is usually too big for it LOL.

    Paige never really spoke properly. Up until 2.5yrs she still only had a few words and we just thought she was a bit slow to start talking and Erin would always talk for her When she started preschool at 3.5 we did think that she had a problem, and asked her teacher to keep an eye on it and see what she thought, and she did say she thought it was just age related stuff and she would be fine, but it was about this time last year actually that her teacher said one day was I still intersted in having her assessed, as one of the assistants made a comment that she was having a hard time understanding Paige, and we just went from there. I filled in a questionaire and Jenny signed off on it and sent her referral in and she was seeing Margaret a few months later. She did say a while back that Alister was doing fine, but he's had a bit of a language explosion since then.

    G hadn't been on FB for over a day as of this morning, so I hope that everything is OK.

    I just googled it quickly, if it's the thing I saw then it would be fine, it'd keep Missy E busy for megahours - she played on one of these non-stop when we were doing kindergym last term. Has the advantage of providing the climbing fun without any big falls, kwim?

    Thanks girls, I am very impressed with the price, I have been looking for something similar for a few months now & got disheartened by the huge prices of them. This one is definately manageable. I often wonder how parents afford to buy all the little tikes etc outdoor toys, the prices are ridiculous! Even second hand on ebay they make big money. You are right, M would love this especially in Summer.

    I am worried about Rainy!!!!! I worried as soon as she wrote that her friend had come into contact with J & she had swine flu. I am a paranoid person I am the first to admit lol.

    Trill - Have you noticed an improvement with P's language? Is the reason why she was a bit unclear due to E often talking for her?

    Thanks MD for your input re the climber, it is a nice little safe one, I guess it will be used again after M anyway, well hopefully...

    Ok, everyone don't be paranoid about Rainy, she texted me to say all is well - and that means NO flu - but she's been busy with BIL visiting (duh, she did tell us)!

    Well I am off this evening to visit some Adelaide BBers so that will be interesting!
