Hey all,

Thats better!!! A bit of typing from you all. yay.

Sarah - hope your finger is better. You could always dictate to Aaron and make him do the work for you? I'm sure he's a fast enough typist.

Eek on the bluetongue Deb! I would $hit myself I think. I remember when Lily brought in a legless lizard in Brisbane, and I was bloody petrified. It looked just like a small snake! That of course was before she bought in a possum, a magpie and all manner of other creatures. Poor Lucy - sounds like she is being teased a little.
What size is Gabgab in now? Jenna is in a 5 pretty well. K Mart have some of the cutest little shoes at the moment. We got jenna a pair there last week, and she gets heaps of comments on them

Trish - wow busy week for you too! Jenna says "pardies Jenna" if any of us burp or fart too, its pretty cute. And when we laugh she then starts making noises in her throat and saying it over and over again!
I've been trying to get her to say "more please mum" rather than just more. I'm afraid its worked too well. She now knows that if she says please we pretty much let her away with anything. And when she REALLY wants something, from mum or dad, its still "more please mum". Poor Shane is copping it.
Joel is a ratbag isn't he! And fancy all the internet crap. I reckon mobiles should be banned from school. Its just going to make bullying worse I think.

Well our exciting news - we bought a new car! And when I say new...... I mean NEW!!! YAY!
We have signed for a Nissan Xtrail, and its just lovely. We'll have to redraw the money off the mortgage, and we only got $5k as a tradein on the ute, but considering the ute was valued at $8k 2y ago in shane's divorce, we haven't lost too much on it. I still can't decide what colour to get - we have ordered steel grey, but I'm really leaning towards the gold colour. Hmmmm - decisions! So we will either sell this one in a year, or try and take it over with us to NZ. Shane and I had a massive row about it last night. He's always worried about the money side of things, which I get, but we haven't had a holiday this year, and the money we lose on a new car would be what we would have spent in 10days in Port Douglas! So at least we will enjoy it. I'm a happy girl. A bit scared - cause I know I'll scratch it first, but happy all the same.

Tanya is offline for a while Deb - there was a post in the messages forum about it.

OK - better get some lunch into this generous belly. Bubs dont grow on water.
