OMG Trill - I have seen some gorgeous stuff in gymboree and my shopping cart on there is chockers. They have free postage there at the moment as well (around the states) but was thinking of checking out the freight forwarding companies too see what they'll charge (see which is cheaper). Plus the $US is pretty decent as well! Woot!! Not good about the headache, I hate the ones that can't be shaken. Fingers crossed on the school holidays with them all around.

Jaz - That would be awesome to catch up with you on Monday 20th as well. I'm thinking 10.30am ish? Does that sound okay? Gives me time to get out of Ipswich and through Brisbane peak traffic

Noni - bugger about the iron levels. I'd say just go straight for the jab, do it a day that A is in care so you can chill out afterwards. That being said, I've never had an iron jab so don't know the pain, just remember you telling us about the marks left on your tushie afterwards

Cass - fingers crossed on the auction 2moro. Maybe wander around before hand and loudly point out flaws (whether real or not) plus the not-so-friendly ghost thats living there. Anything that you think would put them off from buying the place. That way you can have monopoly on the sale....see my point? Clever hey

MD - Forgot to say, I am wary of sleeping tablets too. I'm sure if you take them for a few days though it will be fine, just enough to get you back into a sleeping pattern.

Trill - Oh no one grape, lol, no doubt he will scoff dinner then? Gymboree....oh no, shouldnt haven mentioned that, off to check out the website now! Is it a US site?

Noni - I'm a wuss & would be avoiding the needle at all costs, lol give me the supplements any day.

Anyone checked out deals direct dot com? They have some decent kids toys sometimes.

I am ALL for online shopping after todays incident. Decided to head down to the toy sales (everything I wanted friggen gone anyway grr) & M was chucking tanties left right and center, trying to get the dolls outta their boxes, trying to push things here & there....omg what a mission. Never ever again.

MM - I let S hold whatever I do purchase, be it a magazine or a chupa chup. I also make sure shes either strapped into a pram or trolley. I hate having to chase her around and stop her pulling everything off the shelves. I then let her pay the lady and get the receipt back. It usually takes her mind off whatever I've had to slip back on the shelves. I have checked deals direct but never shopped from there. gymboree is an american store but it has the cutest girl stuff. Haven't found anything really heartstopping in the boys section but they do have the odd cute thing. Then again seeing as I have a pink one I mainly check out the pink section lol. The $US is pretty decent at the moment but postage is like $30+ ($US) so best to buy in bulk. Or if you check it now and find a few things you like, let me know asap and i'll chuck on my order and send through to you. That offer goes to anyone that find anything they like. I love it but rarely get much from there due to cost etc. Best thing is that its not clothing that everyone is wearing KWIM? Hard pressed to see a kid wearing the same clothes like you end up with when buying from big w, kmart, target etc

hi everyone
its very late for me but am trying to keep myself awake!! poor dh has what looks like a urinary tract infection but its looking like its spread to his kidneys.. hes very unwell.. i called the health line and they said he needed to see a dr in the next 4 hours but that he shouldnt drive.. weve called an after hours dr service but that could be a while and hes fallen asleep on the floor with a heat pack.. i dont wanna wake him because he has been in so much pain and is a bit anxious about the whole thing understandably but that leaves me trying to wait up for the dr lol its currently 11pm.. maybe i should ring them and see if they have a time frame.. spose its prob a bit like waiting at the hospital really since its a medicare system.. eeeek... asking an almost 37wk pregnant lady to stay awake while everyone else is asleep is a bit rough!!
cassius - have u had the iron injections? they are very painful!!! but ikwym about the supplements such a pita!! the liquid one is not a huge boost but its about the same as general iron tablets and since im allergic to sulphur thats about all thats on offer for me anyways..
kate - yeh not nice but i didnt get staining from them just bruising so i was lucky its sooo painful tho haha im such a sook!!!
mm - i too am a wuss and cant decide haha!!

Noni, I hope your DH is o.k. That sounds really painful! OMG at you being nearly 37 weeks too, it has gone so quickly this time round.

[*noni*e*]

thanks arte.. the dr came and gave him some ABs straight away so he could start them last night and a script to get some more today we have to drop in to the drs this morning just to drop off a wee sample tmi? sorry... he seemed to calm down alot after the dr wasnt too worried.. think hed worked himself up a bit.. ofc hes in bed now and im up with the monster that wont sleep in!! my dads wife gave us a playhouse disney dvd that came with the newspaper tho and that seems to be entertaining her for now..
yep 37 weeks tmw as pap would say "bing baby is cooked now" hehe am happy to wait a few more weeks tho!! would quite like him to come on the 26th july so him n Asha share the date thought that would be cute same day just 2 months apart but i had a date i wanted Ash to come too and that never happened haha just have to wait n see!!
anyways my brain is barely functioning and all ive had this morning so far is half a piece of toast and a bunch of chocolate haha better go fix that!!

Clare looks like I've done your trick - i *definitely* posted yesterday evening but...no post here today! I actually jumped on to say you should go around to the house and splash a bit of brown paint on the driveway and then start a murder-suicide rumour...you'll have an affordable house in no time at all

ETA - how did you get on organising a service for your G.U. Bill? When's Oma's operation? My family were all holding their breath this week because Grandpa George decided he'd had enough of living in pain and opted for a hip replacement even tho he's super high risk with blood clotting disorders. 48 hrs later and he's still going great.

Trill my heart went out to you when you said about A having *one grape* for lunch. That was not a good day . Good luck thinking up some entertainment for the school hols. Hopefully the weather will be good for you (send em outside to play!!!) LOL

Wow Noni - happy 37 weeks!!! Though on past form you might be waiting a little while longer. Glad your DH is ok, those kidney things can be nasty.

MM - oh yeah, that's one of the reasons we came home with the tank engine car thingy...tho E is often quite happy to sit in her pram and play with things in the box, I take one away and give her another so the only one that's ever a problem is the very last thing LOL. I like Kate's suggestion of letting her hold whatever you do buy and do the money etc.

JaZaH - OOOOH! Tell us about Jacca's (is it toasties jazah-style??) I bet you're all sooo excited about Monday!! I'd love to be there...I *will* get to Brissie one day!

I wonder how PAP is getting on with little mr x? Thinking of you hun if you're reading at the moment. xxx

Also noticed Supa's been MIA again...I suspect she is having trouble finding free internet (buy a plan, sweetie!!!) LOL
