it is 5.40pm here, and even with every door and window open in the house it is still 30 degrees in here.
I have decided that next time i get pregnant it will be during winter at least that way i can put clothes on if i get cold, there is only so much i can take off as i get hotter and hotter. I have spent the better part of the afternoon lying naked on my bed, underneath a window, too hot to move, to hot to sleep, to hot to do anything. Oh well i suppose that if it was winter i would be complaining about how cold it is or the rain or something.  ------------- http://lilypie.com">

At the moment my lounge is the coolest room in house because it has a ranchslider door at each end and the little breeze that there is is coming thru both doors. It going to be another hot one tonight. ------------- http://www.bump-and-beyond.com/">

My house is a nightmare. Freezing in winter coz of the gappy wooden joinery and wooden floors, but really hot in summer because of the conservatory which attracts the afternoon sun thru the whole house.
Not to mention the grass growing thru Maya's bedroom floor (long story), the shot spouting, the privet which was supposed to be trimmed in November, the leaky wash house tap..... Can you tell I have a slack land lord? Thank God we're moving in a few weeks. ------------- Maya Grace (28/02/03)

Ughhhh They sound like very slack landlords!! We are so lucky that:
1. Our landlords rock 2. We're friends with them! (we go to church with them!!!) It makes things so much easier. Plus they own the much bigger house in front which we have dibs on when the current people eventually move. ------------- http://lilypie.com">

I'm with you Kaz! I've been knocking back the iced water like it's my last link to life!! Thank goodness for aircon - unfortunately I want it on too cold for Jono - last night I let him choose the temp as the previous couple of nights he froze, and it was waaaaaaaaaaaay too hot for me  It's pretty horrendous being preggars at this time of the year. My usual dress round the house is now a lavalava!!------------- Joshua Hadynn - Born 3 May 2006 |

I have 3 sarongs, and 2 lavalava and all of them look like huge tents on me, so it kinda defeats the purpose as they are so big they actually stick to me when i get too hot.

I did the whole lavalava thing with Maya (she was born end of Feb). I pretty much stayed at home the last few weeks - going out meant actually putting clothes on!
It seems to be cooler here today. Still muggy as heck though. ------------- Maya Grace (28/02/03)
