KEL _ WOw aren't you little miss chatterbox today! Even with a de-moled arm! LOL. YES! Come & visit me you can stay 42 nights if that's what your little heart desires! That's how long Alan is away at a time. & I have to tell you, I have been clearing out the back room so it's ready for you to sleep in with Jem when you come. I have a portacot that she can use & our guest room has a queen bed, so whatever goes is fine with me! Oh man I can't wait! It's going to be awesome!!! You better make sure you pack carebear though! LOL. I'm sorry she had a crap day, silly mummy for leaving carebear behind!!!

LISA _ Don't tell me that BIL lives in WAIKIKI! That's where I live! No way! Well that's sorted then, you have to come with Kel as well! Glad your diet is going good! I can't wait to see you in those dresses that you bought to put away.

KEL AGAIN _ As with the budget. I have no concept of the word! I am completely & utterly clueless when it comes to money. We could have & should have had our mortgage completely paid off by now, but because money burns holes in my pockets, we don't. I can't help it if I like nice things though! I will admit & say, that since Alan has been working away & I have been paying all the bills & seeing how much money I spend on bits & pieces, I have pulled my head in considerably. Also, Alan has promised me a big super-duper 8 week trip to America when we pay the mortgage off PLUS a brand spanker, only has 3km on the clock car. So I am trying hard & we are going better than ever. & Jessica's money is almost replaced in her account that Daddy invested on shares for her & failed miserably! LOL.

PEG _ You sound like a new woman hun & very positive about yourself. You are going places & I'm glad to hear it. Are you working? Are we allowed to say her name or do we have a code name to use?

ME _ If I wasn't certain before, now I am - I am NEVER having any more kids. I looked after my nephew today while my sister worked & no, it wasn't bad & no, they didn't stress me out, but holy cow it was hard work! For the first hour Claudy was soooooo jacked off that he was here. He likes to roll her highchair backwards & forwards & she flipped her lid that bad that she screamed until I put her into her highchair & she sat there for 30 minutes just to prove a point! Also, she plonked herself onto my lap everytime I sat on the floor JIC Brock was going to come for a snuggle. She was a total & utter little monster! After a while she was ok with it but my goodness, the first hour she had me in a sweat! Jess was at daycare & I think Claudy was annoyed that the only day she has me to herself & Brock was there. It started as soon as my sis put his baby bag into Claudy's room. PMSL. I am a super-star in the making though & put them to bed at the same time this arvo!

Have a busy day tomorrow, Jess is having a playdate at her besties place while I grocery shop with Claudy & then we are off to the airport to get Alan & then we have a 50th birthday party at a restaurant in Mandurah. I'm going to be stuffed & of course having not seen Alan for 6w, the party won't stop when we get home I can't believe Alan is home tomorrow. It's gone so fast. Jessica is soooooo excited, she didn't even argue about going to bed tonight. & BTW she is LOVING daycare. She actually squealed with excitement when we pulled in there today! She said to me today 'thank you mummy for taking me to daycare, I have so much fun with the other kids'. What a sweetheart!

Ok, I have to go mop the floor. I like the the house to look immaculate when Alan comes home & like I"m just the super-star mummy! LOL.
