Squidipa- I wouldn't say I've been having nightmares, but definitely been keeping me awake at night. If you are dreaming about it it means your subconcious is processing it for you cos it is too hard for your concious to do it.

Hey, gotta go out in a minute, but just wanted to jump on here to let you know that the call has gone out for mobile phones and chargers. Especially chargers as people got out of the fires with their phones, but no longer have a charger. I think the phone companies should come to the party on this one, but just thought I would let you all know. If you have any old chargers and phones that you don't need, and you want to donate them PM me and I will give you my address. I will drop them off at the drop off centre up the road.


Ok, chat later!

MT - I think we have a couple of Nokia chargers (the older AND the newer type) May just have to have a rummage through our box of cords (it's all still a mess from moving, trying to sort stuff out ) but if I find them I'll PM you.

Pix - It'd be interesting to see them together again ... Veygas still seems like a heffalump to me, but also, he's not really on solids yet - he has a rusk here and there, or a suck on my sandwich occasionally, but not much else ...

MT I will have a dig around, I gave my dad our old phones after Telstra cut off the CDMA network, while he waits for a new phone that he likes to come out But I will call my mum, she works in a library and ask her

MT the Bear works for Optus, apparently they have been giving out free prepaid mobiles with $1000 credit in the affected areas but I wonder if anyone has thought about chargers... I will mention it to him.

that is awesome I hope the mobile tower network will be rapaired quickly as well

Awesome Pixie. Yeah it seems the chargers are more in demand than the phones themselves.

I know they got the phone network back up and running very quickly in Kinglake, not sure about the other places though.

The other thing they are in desperate need of is feed for the animals, the livestock, horses, sheep, cattle, and wild bird seed. Bit hard to send that down huh? Probably also towels and bedding materials for the animals.

My friend, the vet up in Kinglake, has been messaging every day. Her message this morning said that all the people that have returned are amazing. They even have a laugh here and there. That is a bit heart-warming to hear. Much nicer than all the death and destruction.

I will have alook see if we have anyold chargers knocking around!! good to hear people are able to find somesort of normality in all this and have a smile. We went for a drive today from our house to eumundi and through alot of thick gum trees and what i imagine the area would have been like in victoria and normally when we drive through these areas i sit back and think how beautiful it is,but today all i could think of was what it must have looked like with the fires ripping through, putting the pics on the news with being in that kinda forestation made it all so really and to be honest scary! My mind kept drifting and id picture the fire balls jumping from the tops of the trees like you see on the news! This whole thing has really got into my head! Anyway, im trying to be alittle happier today, we are going to a fund raiser held by the local surf club near us on sunday so that shoul be good!

On another note, Grace is still super clingy, i thought it was from the jabs but that was three days ago now! She gets wingy when im not holding her , even if DH is holding her! She has never been like this bofre, normally really independant!
hope everyone is well. x
