However, yesterday I braved it and went to Village de Valeur (like Savers I think) and got some great buys including a doily, Ariel swimmers for my 4 yrd old and some great toys for $2 a bag. I was over the moon. Thanks again.Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10219040011876382234noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30315386.post-660796715744499102009-09-06T19:42:27.492+10:002009-09-06T19:42:27.492+10:00I am in love with the iron and ironing board, so c...I am in love with the iron and ironing board, so cute!

It never occurred to me to repaint that kind of thing - I've seen quite a few in the op shops around here but always rejected them because the paint was in poor condition. Also ironing board is awesome - what a bargain!

I've been following your blog for what fe...Hi!!<br />I've been following your blog for what feels like forever, but have never really felt it neccesary to comment before - that is until I read the most recent posts about sleeping habits.<br />This may not be the news you were hoping for - but I have a 5 1/2 year old daughter who still does not sleep throught the night. I think maybe there have been 20 occassions in her entire lifetime where she has, and then I wake up anyway wondering why the hell she hasn't woken and I end up sneaking in to check she is still breathing because its sooo uncharacteristic of her. she has never had a predictable sleep routine for any extended period of time - and after trying every method under the sun of establishing one, and numerous consultations with "sleep specialists trying to get to the bottom of it - the simple answer is - there isn't one. Some kids just arent great sleepers. Unfortunatly Nobody much mentions these kids, so you think you are the only one in the world who is battling such long term sleep deprivation. I wish I had a solution to help you get her into a sleep routine - but realistically there may not be one based on my experiences so far . Reading your post I felt very much like I was reading a chapter of my own life, and my only advice is - you know Mae best, and you know her needs best, so you just have to go with what you think is right - people who dont have such strong willed non sleepers really do not understand, and there comments can be frustrating - but just know there are other sleep deprived zombies out here - with children much older than Mae.<br />By the way I absolutly adore your blog - it's one of my absolute favourites.Daninoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30315386.post-44451823009416372782009-09-05T23:17:01.889+10:002009-09-05T23:17:01.889+10:00400 is huge, well done.
