Ella - I do have a good memory, drives me crazy sometimes!!!!! Not long now till Sth Africa then. I can understand why you are so excited. A trip of a lifetime. Good idea to get renos done when you are not there, so long as you have someone to keep an eye on them. We had some work done when we were in Noosa (kids rooms painted, outside house painted, new tiles in kitchen/family room) but MIL was here to keep things on track and check up on their progress. Glad the weddings went well but I totally get the whole sober thing! I was maid of honour while 7 mths pregnant with Chelsea and it was so not fun! I had swollen feet (the wedding was in Noosa in Nov, so really hot), I was tired as we did so much running around before the wedding. I just wanted to drink and put my feet up!!! I like the idea of a neutral colour with the pink added. I had Marleys room painted in a very pale green and it looks so pretty with the pink stuff added like sheets, cushions etc. If I decide to have another baby and its a boy, I can add pale blue to it. Have fun shopping, its so much fun!!!

Ros - would love to spend an afternoon chatting about dennis, eating good food and meeting you all! Name the day and I'll try to be there.

Relle - can't believe Gigi hasn't had the baby yet! I predicted Friday, bummer, way off! Recipe has been sent! 30 weeks, wow that is going fast, maybe not for you though!
