    Sorry everyone this is going to be a bit of a me post but I just want to share my worry a bit. My mum just called to say that they have their bags and car packed as some of the bigger fires in country Vic are heading towards their town. Apparently 2 other nearby small towns have been evacuated to where mum and dad are so they are hoping that means they are in a safer spot but she said the town is surrounded by smoke and the roads are closed. I am really worried. I don't think I will be sleeping tonight.

    Michelle and Alicia!!

    Michelle.. sorry to hear about your Grandfather.. and the family argueing that has followed.. I hear you on the washing machine frustration though.. mine is driving me nuts.. Check the coin area.. Sometimes a coin gets stuck which is why they won't drain properly.. I have to put my hose outside sometimes to drain it properly.. drives me mental when it takes all day to do one load

    alicia: I hope your parents will be ok.. Hoping for some great rain headed your way soon

    thanks nic. I didnt really know him that well and im not flying out with the rest oo the family. Its sort of like saying that the lady down the road died.

    Lauren you did the right thing. My mum has never told anyone who my bio dad is. But in a way im glad as the dad that i have now, i wouldnt change for the world.

    Alicia, i have family too in ugat area. My aunts and uncle live in traralgon and my grandparents live in mallacoota in far east gippsland.

    Lori how are you feeling today? Grated apple is supposed to help with the runny bottom.

    Take care and hugs.

    Hi Girls,

    Michelle- Hi sounds like you need a hug too ,sorry to hear about your grandpa,hope things work out with the family & the *****ing stops,there`s nothing worse to deal with a such a time.

    Alicia- Hi hun,i understand how your feeling,these fires are terriable,I hope your Mum & Dad are doing ok,there is a hot line number you can ring,but I?m not sure what it is- but maybe your local police station could give it to you or Yahoo has been updatting the fire situations,with Towns...etc...if that`s any help hun.
    I hope all these fires weren`t delibretly lit,the little mungrals should be locked up,so many people have lost their lives,i pray we don`t have another Ash Wednesday,42 people died in those fires years back. I?m sayiny a pray for everyone.

    Nic- Hi how are you going,have you got rain up near you or still hot weather?
    i can`t believe half of us has Extreme heat wave & the other parts of Australia, has got floods,totally crazy.

    Well, Iam off to finish washing & make beds,lol. I feel too tired as Kieren & Tiger have had me up most of the night. Kieren wanted to play at 2am......sigh.... Take care everyone, Hi to the all. Oh i foregot my little girl Emily is going to be 8 tomorrow,I have to bake cup cakes for to take to school. Bbl.....

    Alicia: good to hear you are fine.. and that your family is ok.. Scary stuff..

    Susan: wow 8.. a big girl now

    No Rain at all for us..Warmish outside.. more steamy I think.. We did get a downpour that lasted abut 5 mins last night but thats it. I am happy to send any rain we get down south to put those fires out..

    Simon is going to ring his brother today cus they live in Townsville.. I heard Townsville is all cut off.. His parents have gone on holidays down south.. He rang them today and they are in NSW somewhere.. It was 41c at 5pm.. why would you travel there knowing it was that hot *slap*

    I just read that too Lauren.. so much bad news today.. A 5 yr old boy was taken by a croc up north

    and my mum rang a little while ago. She is a foster carer and the little girl she had for most of last year was hit and killed by a car last night. I am so upset. She was only 10..
