Kuriza - Congratulations on your new arrival. Welcome to the world Lilac. I also think you could avoid putting Jude back in nappies. But that might mean a lot of extra washing for you. But hopefully he won't enjoy it and go back to using the toilet.

Georgi - How did you go about night TTing? Did you just stop putting Bryon in nappies or did he ask to not have nappies any more?

Zarava - Yes that would be great to finally catch up. Are Mondays or Fridays any good for you?

Belfie - I swear J keeps copying me with illnesses. So sorry to hear about your bad run. And are mondays or fridays any good for you for a catch up?

AFM - Well I feel like I have never ending bad luck at the moment. Of course I am still struggling with my mother's loss. Then DH went away for work and I got a kidney stone in the middle of the night, while I was all alone with Maya. It was so painful I should have been in hospital and I did call an ambulance, but I couldn't bare taking M to hospital in the middle of the night so I decided to just go it alone. The next day I was an absolute wreck and no one would come help me with Maya. It was the worst day of my life. I felt so sick. So much pain. So unbelievably tired. And having to look after M all by myself. Since then I've been feeling the loss of my mum even more. Now there is no one in this world any more who would drop everything to be there for me when I really need it. And I'm having big problems with my brother. I don't talk about him much with anyone. I guess I feel like he will reflect on me some how. But my mother was a big buffer between him and me and now that she's gone, he's texting me all the time. Like 20+ times a day. He's lying to me. He's stolen from me. And he begs for money from me. It's just another stress in my life that I just don't need. He suffers from a mental illness but he won't seek help and there's not much I can do about it. He doesn't have a job and mum gave him money all the time, but I can't do that. I have Maya!

As for Maya, she had grommets put in about a month ago. I haven't noticed much difference in her speech, but she's stopped saying "Huh?" all the time. So she must be able to hear better. Her ENT said he removed a lot of muck from her ears and she was a bad case, so I am glad we did it. And t he whole procedure went much better than I expected. M is TT during the day, but I don't know when/how to start night time training. M goes to CC three times a week, even though I don't actually work enough any more to cover the cost I really feel like after everything that has happened I do need more of a break. And at CC they want to move her to the 3 year old kinder room now. They think she's more than ready. So she'll start kinder in two weeks time and we'll see how she goes. If she wants to move back she can.
