Hiya Dee And Neeny! Good to see you both again... Neeny: I watched the fashion Awards too... I didn't mind the winning dress (Monet inspired wedding gown... not that I could see much reference to Monet's work) infact I thought Darb's awards were well deserved especially with his emphasis on quality craftmanship.... all that beading! Love beadwork... didn't mind that black dress of his either... oh and the work of the student wasn't too bad but I didn't see how it was inspired by nuns! LOL Good to hear Aleise is travelling along nicely and is enjoying time at her nanna's... my children hardly ever get to spend time with family and have only been sat by them once! (when I was having Niall). Dee: Ooooh shame about the house, I remember how excited you were about it... good work getting a builder to inspect construction before purchase!!! So many people think this is a waste of money especially when they can't see any actual cracks... but we've learnt that almost every home has hidden issues... it's how much $ you will need to have them fixed... we've had places inspected that we didn't end up buying at auction and infact the only time we didn't get a place inspected was a tiny bedsit we bought once as an investment and we had to resell a year later because humungeous cracks started to open up!!! So we patched it up and resold to someone who also didn't have it inspected... lucky we made a small profit (which really meant we broke even after the in and out costs!). Better luck next time although I should imagine 6 bedroom houses are as rare as hen's teeth! Once again good to hear Nathan is doing well... have you uploaded any more piccys?

Well another hot day ahead.... am thinking of taking the whole family up to Greensborough Plaza today because it was quite pleasant there yesterday and they had $3 Thomas The TankEngine rides throughout the centre... we could put Verity and Wade on it, wave good bye and sit back and have 10 minutes peace with a coffee!

Niall awake... better change his darling little butt!

ETA: Sorry Nic... missed your post! Read it when i get back!
