Yeah where's Jo and Emishka? I think it's been the longest between posts for them...

Nic: Went into Myer in the city... queued for 2 hours exactly... but it oddly didn't feel that long, there was quite a lot to do whilst you were waiting including train rides which Wade enjoyed just watching. Hope all goes well between your DH and his boss... we'll miss you though! But I guess this is where online friendships are great... doesn't really matter where you live! I speak to interstate Junies waaaay more frequently that i do to friends and family who don't have internet connection... it'll be good for you and your family to live closer to your extended family... not having relatives around is really hard sometimes.

Ugh, hot, made an icecream Christmas cake earlier just because I had all the ingredients... I know it's going to be a cool day but I've never made one before and I know GrandDad (FIL) likes it and he's staying with us for a week... over from Sale... he'll have a few tales to tell of the fires... my relos from Cowwarr stayed where he has his granny flat.

My In-Liven arrived... took a dose from the almost finished jar... feeling a bit calmer... sometimes if I take it in the early afternoon I don't feel as frazzled with the kids... I guess it has a lot of B vitamins (mood stabilisers)....should try to work out how to sneak it into the kids' food.

ETA: Hiya Dee!!!! just missed your post... going back to read it now...
