Sally, I am so glad that you are writing more often now. It is really great hearing what you are Brendan have been up to. I once did a debate on what was better chocolate or sex. From a girls point of view, there is definitely more pros to cons for chocolate. LOL! Its great that Brendan's reflux is clearing up. A friend had really bad reflux her whole life until she had an operation at 20. That would not be fun.
Kristy - How is our birthday girl? Did she get spoilt and eat all the yummy foods you made?

TASH _ I e-mailed you some pics of my bunnies. They really aren't that much hard work. You just need to set them up. The thing I like about bunnies is you play with them, cuddle them, & then they go back into their hutch. Ours hop around the garden at times but they can be VERY hard to catch, except our buck, he is seriously a dog in a rabbits body. He even bangs on the door so Claudia will go & slide it open for him & he comes inside! UMMAH! I now have a rabbit run though that I put them in & onto the grass & they have a ball in there. I think I like putting them away in hutches so I can open the door for the girls & they go outside & play without me worrying. Jessica was bitten by our dog when she was 11 months old, so I like the bunnies as they are safer. However, they can scratch. But it's up to you. Personally, I think Tobi is too young for a pet but it's completely up to you. It's better than buying him a kitten or a puppy IMHO. Jessica was 2 when she got her first bunny, but I'm a real sucker for them. I always have one on my lap every night for snuggles when the kids are in bed. We let Claudia eat chocolate too. But not loads of it. It's very hard when she can see Jessica with a freddo frog to deny her of one as well. She actually really loves m&m's & my MIL has a dispenser & Claudia stands at the table & points to it saying 'some'. I usually pack all the chocolates away from Easter & just bring them out very slowly.

SAL _ It's sooooooo great to have you online all the time! I agree! WTG on Brendan scoring $80 for his birthday! How awesome! Are you going to use his bank account money for things like school, etc... or are you just putting it away for when he turns 18 or wants a car? My friends all got cheques for their 18th, like in the vicinity of $10K & I never got anything, not even $100 towards my first car & I want my children to have big 18th cheques so I am putting their $$ away for that. Oh please don't make me jealous about you being 65kg, I don't want to hear that crap! LOL. You lucky thing!

ME _ Last night was the 4th night that Claudia hasn't woken up half an hour after going to bed. It's been excellent! I had to go look after my niece & nephew for a little while today. Far out, 4 kids is tough! My niece just had her tonsils out yesterday & my nephew has a big snot nose, so it was just charming. My sister had to go get her AB's & paintstop & everything because the hospy didn't have a pharmacy. Definitely sealed the deal of only 2 kids for me! LOL. Oh & also, nearly got Claudia to sleep on cows milk last night. She drank 150mL & was just about asleep when she realised it wasn't a booby in her mouth & put on a show until I gave it to her! Each night we get a step closer!

Love Jayne
