Wow this little tread has been a chat-a-thon.

Lisa - Did Af arrive.

BW - So sorry about the pain you are in hun. My mum is chronically ill with pain all the time and it is so hard to watch let alone live it

Willow - Sounds like you've got school and possibly kindy all sorted. You new life by the beach sound awesome

Jayne - WTG on learning Chinese. Thanks for you kind words too. I actually feel a little silly telling you guys I've had problems because I haven't had any major life upheavals. My new line of work is booby wrangling (bra fitting and lingerie)

Bun - Glad you got a place

Spring - Did I read that B had a good night? AWESOME I hope it continues. How is O?

Kelly - Your house sounds busy atm. Enjoy your visitors

Mako - When night time toilet training Sara none of the wake up techniques worked and she was waking up each morning with a wet pull up. Then one night before bed she just told me that she'll get up in the night and go to the toilet from now on. I let her try and she has never had an accident since. She 4yo though. I invested in the 3 brolley sheets and they have been wonderful. I used on Sara's bed, and now on Loren's bed when she has a day time sleep and in Eva's cot, and when the girls are sick.

Michelle - All the best with your study.

Anna - How are you going with R?

Hi to everyone else.

My biggest girl starts school tomorrow. Reality has hit that I will be going up to that school for next 12 plus years, twice a day..yikes. Tonight I kissed S goodnight and felt sad that it is time for my to hand over the education rains to someone else No more kinda girl anymore.

Re July 15. What are the plans? I can either come by myself for a couple of nights and stay in a hotel in the city. Or I can bring the tribe for the weekend, stay with family at Turarmurra (sp?) and take them to see the city whilst there. I understand that our meeting will be child free but are we doing lunch or dinner or both?

Hugs to all
