I cant beleive its Melbourne Cup day tomorrow, im so unprepared. Usually i study the form and pick out a couple of pretty names and put a couple of small bets on but this year has come around way too quickly. I will see how i go tomorrow.

I remember a couple of years ago i asked DF to put some money on Makybe Diva (i thought the name was pretty) and he said he would but then went and put it on something else thinking that my horse wouldnt win cause he had never heard of it. Well, it won!!!! and i got nothing. I put my own bets on these days!

Jess - im sure that Lachlan is teething too, he is chewing everything and has started clamping and rubbing his gums together, he is getting really clingy too, wont even to to DF, he screams if anyone else goes in to him when he wakes up and wont let me put him down.

Mel - thats funny about the smart kids at school, i cant wait to see what everyone is up to. apparently there are going to be quite a few pregnant ones. A lot of the girls at my school were pretty *****y so it will be interesting to see how they are now!

Oh well, best get back to packing the car. A really hard thing to do when you have a screaming child on your hip!!
