Thanks for all the birthday wishes everyone. And happy birthday for tomorrow Didge!

DH came through with flying colours, not only was the dinner he cooked last night a great success (he even put cancles on the table!) but my pressie this morning was a big surprise, something I'd been pestering him for last year but forgot all about it. An ipod nano - I'm stoked, have been fiddling around with it all morning.

For all of you going through tough times at the momen, Jane, Starbright and Shez - I hope you are feeling strong today. We are all strong, brave and wonderful women to be going through what we are and we are all well deserving of a few days hiding under our doonas feeling like we never want to surface again. Somehow the human spirit prevails though and we do emerge, stronger and braver and more wondeful than ever. 8-[

Meredith - I love hearing about your cat stories, it's so great that you are a vet. What a cool job. We are mum and dad to a VERY spoiled cat called Pheobe. She is 9 years old and a great little friend in need.

Have a good day everyone.
