Hello all and I hope you are all well. We're back a day early from our Christmas break due to extreme levels of pregnancy brain when booking plane tickets. Oh well

I won't do too many personals, just a few if you don't mind. Sammiejam, I read earlier today although didn't respond and was sat in the Qantas lounge in Adelaide with tears streaming down my face (DH's first response "what have I done now??, bless) at your news. I cannot imagine how hard it must have been to find your dog. I worry about it all the time. Esp since the news once showed a small show type dog inside a snake in the NT. I hope that you can get over the not knowing.

Greenslw - you are so right about the language you hear from some people. In Perth last week, we saw a woman crossing four lanes of traffic with about 6-8 kids. The eldest was pushing a baby, and as he went over the kerb, the pushchair full over and tipped the child (not strapped in of course) out. What does the mother do? Stop the traffic? Offer assistance or help? Worry about the screaming child? No, she shouts at the eldest "you f****** c***, you are f****** c****** useless" and so on for quite a long time . You get the drift. I didn't even think you could add ing on the end of the C word....

PoppyFairy, you are soooooo wrong about the chips and gravy ha ha it isn't right here you can't get chips and curry sauce... now that's a dish to build a baby on... But seriously, I hope the pre-eclampsia is ok. I agree with the others, step away from the search engines...

hope you are all otherwise well. Less than 200 days to go for me hurrah hurrah hurrah
