You girls chat so much during the day, so much to catch up on!

Went to work for xmas party and it was great catching up with old work mates and meeting some new ones. Lunch was nice, we all bought a plate of something sweet or savoury. I made Mars Bar slice - it was so good! Poor Marley looked so blotchy - her face was red on one side and she is still scratching. I was really hoping to avoid cortisone, but its not looking that way at the mo.

Bath - bread and butter pud tastes so good with fruit bread. I have also done it with croissants and bread sticks. Croissant was very nice. I sprinkle some nutmeg on the top too and special ing is vanilla bean. Love the crusty, crunchy bits. I have a bit of a sweet tooth - may explain why I haven't lost any more weight LOL!!!

IK - couldn't access Callista today, I no longer have a valid password!!! The other staff member who has access had already left - sorry! Sounds like you have it in hand though. PML about Oscar being a turtle!!!! Hope you got all your washing done, I haven't done any for 2 days and its piling up.

Rory - your second might not be a devil child. Chelsea was a good baby and I was expecting the demon, but Marley is just a good if not better than Chelsea as a baby. There is hope!!! Glad to hear he is almost over his illness, bummer about his restless night though - makes you thankful they are not like that all the time. Where are your pics from your dinner out?? All frocked up???

Simone - hope cat doesn't have her babies to soon, how is she today? We should start finding a date for our c0cktail party so we can book it in. Good on you with the battle of the ciggies!

CC - it sounds like a dream where you are! Dolphins, fishing, horses, growing vegies. Will make it hard to come back to city life. So glad to hear Ally is sleeping well for you. Enjoy the quiet "you" time that you get.

Amanda - I hate older kids playing on equipment designed for younger ones. When we were at McD's on Monday a school bus of kids arrived and all came out into the playground which is quiet small. They looked well over 12! My GF went straight inside and said "who is the teacher", this guy sheepishly put up his hand and she told him to "tell your students to get out of the playground, there are young kids in there!". They were going down the slide on trays, and being very rough with each other. They were all boys - the teacher came out and told them to get out! Glad you said something, but the respect issue with kids is such a problem.

MooGoo - is it good for ezcema? And what should I use from their range? The stuff I have started to use hasn't done that much good, but I have only been using it for a day!
