Re: Tasmania (continued!)
Your parent group sounds great! If I lived closer I'd defo be there.
Yeah I know what you mean about Pneumonia, it's not nice. My mum nearly died of it when I was just a baby. It was miss diagnosed luckily they realised before it was too late and she made a full recovery. As soon as I read your little one was on Anti B's I knew she was gonna pull through. It must have been scary having to admit her to hospital at only 6 months old, poor little thing.

Re: Tasmania (continued!)
Happy late birthday Sammy! How's the job, is it getting any better?
Myself, I stll have Mother in Hospital they're trialing her on new medication and trying physio but she is panicked about falling so is refusing to stand/walk.
As for us we head off to WA for two weeks on the 30th. Really need the break, be great to see my girlfriends again. 'cept I'm scared I'll get there and wonder why we left

Sorry to hear your mum's still in hospital, it must be hard for her and you.
Have a good time in Perth, at least it will be warmer
Do you really think you'll want to return? I am a bit cheesed off with Tas today, or rather the Tas politicians, what are they thinking of, amalgamating the Parks Dept to the Forestry dept, conflict of interest or what?? Sam

If I stay in WA it won't be with my hubby, a divorce would definately be on the cards!!! 
Will be good to do some decent shopping though.

Ahhh, smart shops with nice clothes, sounds lovely
I'm going back to the UK in July with the children for my mum's wedding, so am saving my cents up for a good shopping spree there!

Re: Tasmania (continued!)
How long will you be in the UK for Sam? I'm heading over with my little one mid August - just for a couple of weeks and will be around Surrey/Hampshire/Sussex area... just trying to figure out how long I can handle being 'housebound' before I have to hire a car to get around!

Gary - I agree on the 'locals price'... I cant recall how much Kerry was paying though!
How about a meetup in June sometime? Other than Queens birthday weekend we should be around (even if its just me and my little one).
My little girl has a lung infection she's on anti-biotics to try and stop it becoming pneumonia.

Re: Tasmania (continued!)
Kezza - Thanks - she does seem to be responding ok to the anti-b's now (thankfully our doc only gives them when they are really needed and avoiding pneumonia I am happy about lol)... I do worry about her... she had bronchiolitis and ended up in A&E when she was 6 mths old. Have to admit pneumonia scares the cr@p out of me, DP had it a couple of years ago and was so sick, and it was what accelarated his dads lung cancer
I dont know if anyone else is interested... just with the talk of a meetup... I hold a parents group on a Saturday once a month - the next one is on the 13th June. I have use of the child health centre, there's a place for the kids to play and somewhere for the parents to just sit and chat and have a cuppa.

Re: Tasmania (continued!)
just thought I'd write an update on Colins high sea adventures from Bridport to Gold Coast
they set sail at 3pm wed he rang at 5.30pm had been sea sick already!
hes rang this morning things went from bad to worse the crossing was that rough had to take shelter at flinders for an hour. At one stage the railings were totally submerged under water boat at a 45o angle. Waves coming right over top of the boat. Despite all this he says he is loving it
they are now past Melbourne and should reach Sydney by 7pm tonight they are picking someone up there then carrying on to Sanctuary Cove.

When do you go up to GC, have a great time, will be nice to get away from this weather!
