Superb update Vash, love the way you write:thumbsup:
Love the pics too.
Can't believe how busy you have both been since your return...you must still be in UK mode not Aussie time!;)

Looking forward to the next instalment:)

For what it's worth I breastfed my son and daughter until 1 and after that it was time for a bottle. It was a bit stressful weaning them but in the end they took it... they were also getting big and heavy ;) and out of personal choice I felt feeding until age 1 was appropriate. Also, alot of people have to go to work and can't breastfeed it doesn't make these moms not as good as those who do breastfeed.

You had to restrain yourself from talking about breastfeeding?

We'll be finishing off the lounge/dining area tomorrow (one last coat of white to the doors and frames) then moving on to Mrs Stampede's study. I'm supposed to be prepping the ceiling with a caulking gun tonight... yeah, sounds like a great way to spend my evening. :thumbdown:

Thanks Cooler. We're north of Adelaide, lurking somewhere in the City of Playford.

Right, back to helping your mom Vash;)
Where's the cat hiding?

Re: Vash's Update Thread
 
She sneaked into our bedroom and hid under the bed to escape the heat.

She's allowed to venture outside now, but it doesn't seem to interest her a great deal at this stage; either that, or she's still too nervous. We have given her a tour of the garden, so she knows what's out there.

I wonder why? Perhaps she's read the spider threads?:D
