Some of you may remember as far back as July last year when I wrote the Anatomy of Toy Sale, thus revealing in its full glory my OCD planning streak.
The K-Mart toy sale is once again almost upon us. Starts on 3rd July, catalogue available online from 27th June. And I’m not one little bit planning to go and buy anything! Astounding myself and many of my friends and family.
Okay to be honest, I’d love to go and get lots of cool toys but there is no way I can physically do it this year and so I’m saving up my pennies for the ultra cool wooden toys at our local Steiner toy shop. I’m going to get the girls some furniture to go in their wooden dolls house that I painted. Perhaps I might even splash out on some wooden dolls to hopefully supplant Barbie 
.
In the meantime I’ve got my in hospital tests on Monday the 30th June. My MRI has now been scheduled and is on 6th of August. So I’m looking forward to Monday when I get at least 5 hours to have a really nice nap whilst the Doctors sedate me and stick cameras up my rear end (lucky them). Peace. Quiet. Sleep. I think a camera up your rear end is a small price to pay for such luxury. 
Annie woke up at 2am this morning screaming and has been crying ever since, painkillers been doing nothing. Turns out she has a nasty case of swimmer’s ear. We’ve got antibiotic ear drops, antibiotic syrup to drink and permission to increase her dose of painkillers for a couple of days.
Edited to add – and I totally caved around 6am today and rang Foxtel (our cable tv provider) and ordered the childrens tv package because I couldn’t deal anymore. 2 hours sleep and sick kiddies make for insane mummy.

Yeah I’d definitely put up with the camera to get drugged into oblivion. Where do I sign?

Those are words I fear…Toy Sale!
Every scrap of junk mail goes straight into the compost bin lol.
Cameras up the wazoo are nothing, it’s the revolting bowel cleansing prep you have to drink beforehand that used to get to me everytime I had to mix it up lol.

Suze – Sign up is behind me
Jayne – The revolting bowel cleansing prep is still much better than the barium stuff I’ve had to drink for other tests. Took ages to get that stuff shifted out of the toilet.

The Steiner stuff sounds fantastic and you are obviously showing amazing self control by not going to the Toy Sale.

Planning Queen – “showing amazing self control” I like that, thank you.

I got gipped last year with the big mid year toy sale. Half the stuff I wanted came on sale for cheaper 3 months later, so I’m not bothering this year.

Oh my gosh, I hope she’s better soon!! I’d have caved much earlier than you did.

so… no interest in an early look at the catalogue then? Some of your friends here may want a peek, but don’t you dare click!

Bettina – Interesting. I might keep an eye out in three months time.
Barbara – I would have caved sooner but the idea didn’t occur to me until about 5.30am.
S – you are evil, evil, evil and I clicked… but am remembering Bettina’s wise words and shall wait three months.

Those steiner toys look great. Wishing you well for your tests. Those prep drinks sound horrible.

Joanne – thank you. The steiner toys are fantastic in real life as well.
