MadB, pweeheehee, yes, DH’s family is indeed diverse… I now have a Nigerian BIL, an Hispanic nephew-in-law, my DH is half German and his half-siblings are ¼ Aboriginal Millie lost a little weight too, from 8 months (9kg) to 10 (8.9). I don’t know if that’s normal, but she’s grown heaps, still had her little rolls, and apart from being a germ factory, is a sturdy little mite.

Georgi, glad to hear everyone is on the mend! It is just awful when everyone takes it in turns to get sick… and as I now realise, Mummies don’t get sick days!!

Jules, just keep an eye on DH and his allergies. I tested positive to just about every allergen except wheat and dairy… which is crazy as they are the main allergens for asthmatics! BUT seafood came up on mine as well and I have always eaten seafood with no probs, but had never tried mussels prior to that. About a year after the tests I had them and had a violent reaction. Not pleasant.

EJ, good on you for making the decision with work. So glad you’re excited about the future and fb… I’m taking a break for now. I love it for keeping in touch with family and friends, but given what has been going on with my sister, I just need some time off it. I’m finding I’m procrastinating much less! Hooray for the overlocker, now that I’m making a few clothes I’m tempted to get one… but will hold off for awhile!

Charlotte, hooray, hooray, hooray for the wedding! Loved the pictures, it looks like you had an absolutely magical day. Little Hannie looked so cute and you looked STUNNING Congratulations, hope married life is treating you well!

Kaz, Cathie, Audax, Crumpet…
