IK: Nah don't worry about being a wet blanket... I'm much soggier than you! LOL

Christmas Fruit Mince Pies: after many years of testing and trying the leading brands and bakeries through-out Melbourne I deem the ones from the Cheesecake Shop to be the best: most authentic, yummiest, most attractive. Not sure on the price as the ones we have here were given as a gift by friends but whatever they paid it was certainly worth it. Might have to buy another box to leave out for Santa...

Laundry: good grief it's only getting worse around here! Not only can I sort coloureds from whites but I usually have enough every 2nd or 3rd day to sort into: whites/nappies/light coloureds/red and brown coloureds/green and bluish coloureds and blacks! that's 6 different regular catagories!

Am going into MC again tomorrow if anybody wants a chat over a coffee at Borders... just because I want an excuse to get out and about... looking for a couple of calendars too... desperately want them before the New Year. Did you see the FlyLady calendar Rory??? I wonder how it would go ordering one online from the States... never ordered internationally before... oh, and speaking of online orders, IK: was that the MooGoo moisturiser? Just wondering 'cos i need to get some of that too. Niall's cradle cap still hasn't returned after just one application! Now I have a whole jar of it but it's not suitable as a moisturiser... it has something in it that's best kept away from sensitive areas eg around eyes... I put some on Wade yesterday just because he had a few flecks of it (orangey cradle cap stuff) ... Maybe Verity could do with some too... she's been getting a touch of dandruff...

Oh and Mel: hope you are having a great time at Chelsea's creche Chrissy party!

ETA: Just placed a MooGoo order... they have run out of Goat Milk Soap! Oh no! I'm going to try the Honey and oatmeal one instead... also am going to try the oil cleanser that they recommend as a nappy wipe alternative. I also submitted a report on their sample pot moisturiser... thanks for reminding me about doing that IK
