Simone - poor little Declan and poor you again! I hope he gets better soon and you all get a good nights sleep. Sorry to hear you're on your lonesome again, it' no fun esp with a sick child. Fingers crossed no one else gets it. Glad you had fun at the austprem chrissy do. Sounds like you all had fun (apart from Declan spewing).

Nic - hope you didn't have a sore head this morning as your post was rather funny!!!! Sleep in must of helped. New pic of Nixon is so cute. Well done DH for being so busy today, it was a pretty good day for anything outdoors.

Bath - can't believe the queue! Everyone trying to get in early before the rush (I think today must have been the rush!). At least Wade got to have some fun on the train. Is he getting any Thomas stuff for xmas? How was your choc cake?

Neeny - I went to shops Friday and it was pretty busy (got there at 10am!). My friends who work in retail say it's busier much earlier this year. Hate waiting till payday - my pay is on a Thursday, so sometimes I miss out on the sales as they finish on Wed. I haven't tried Marley with a cup yet but they do get the hang of it eventually and at least it cools her down when she spills it!!

IK - what's happening at the fire service? Are they being funny with women being in it? You'll soon straighten them out. Did you have your nap? My friend was going to head to ABA for bras, what were the prices like there (are they roughly same as Myer?). Hope you got your nap and are feeling refreshed.

Party was such fun. It started at 3.30pm and we got home at 9.30!!! Boys were drinking and almost ready to get into the spa, thankfully a few declined so we managed to get out the door and head home. Poor Chelsea was so tired! They did lots of fun games - a colouring competition, sat in the princess tent and had a story read to them, pass the parcel, Hi-5 dancing when they were all worn out they sat in the lounge and watched Wiggles!!!! Gave me some great ideas for Chelseas 4th bday in January.

Will try to get to bed before midnight tonight (yeah right!), but will lurk for a while!
