Hi gals,

Lynn - OMG I do remember the banana clips - I had a few different colours so that they could match my outfits Yeah I do think time has flown, all of you girls are zooming along... I mean look at Spring!!! But yes I understand it is must quicker to for me as I am not the one experiencing it. When I am pg I know I will be saying how slow its going, even pg with Nicholas I felt like it took forever to grow him. But then once I had him I looked back it and felt like I only just found out I was pg... And that was without the stresses that this next journey brings. I will be thinking of you tomorrow, if you feel up to it text me to let me know how you go (I will be working so cant check BB for an update). I just know everything will be fine and Hope's little will be thumping away.

Deb - @ the crimped hair queen - I reckon I would come a close runner up! I was quite surprised you can still get them. My step-DD has the thinnest, limpest, straightest hair you have ever seen and the crimping made her hair look so thick - she loved it! I know that smoking anywhere (incl pubs) in qld is illegal but I am not sure if that law has come into effect in vic yet. Well if not, it could be an early night. After being a smoker for so long I now end up with a really sore throat if I am exposed to it too much. I think the rudest smokers are the ones who smoke in their car (worse still the ones who have their kiddies in there at the same time) and then throw their butts out the window I have been known to report those people to the EPA - even when I was a smoker I always threw my butts in the bin or put them in the ashtray of my car.

Spring - Hope everything is ok and you are just busy.

Hi to everyone else. Poor Bailey must still be plagued by M/S

Speaking of Red Nose Day wrist bands... DH and I bought a sales box of merchandise which we are going to talk our loved ones into buying in honour of Nicholas. I cant wait for the wrist bands, I really want to wear one and I am going to buy one for step-DD too. And the added bonus is that my favourite colour is RED! The whole box was only $134 and DH and I thought that after everything S&K have done for us over the last month the least we can do is spend some money for Red Nose Day - especially when it is focused on stillbirth this year. I started back at the path place today and a lady at work was wearing one of the wrist bands and it was really nice to see.

Anyway, hope you have a nice night - I hate Melbourne, its freezing here and I just cant get warm. This typing isnt helping either!
