Simone - heading to shops about 9pm. My lovely brother is going to drop me and his girlfriend off and then come back and pick us up when we are done. No fighting for carparks YEAH! Money boxes sound cool. Aust Post has some great stuff, they had a 3 pack of books by Pamela Allen for $9.95 and I saw one that was in the pack at Angus & Robertson for $14.95! They also had Mem Fox ones in a 3 pack for $11.95. They ran out pretty quick though. Hope Xander is OK, poor thing. Daycare should have rung you - was this his last day or are they open right through the holidays? Was lots of thunder here before but it has stopped. Come on rain.

IK - have you checked the weather forecasts for NZ. I have no idea what there weather is like. Have images of you and DP walking around NZ in just your undies LOL!!!!

Karen - have a fabulous time at the wedding, sounds beautiful on Sydney Harbour. Hope the weather is nice and I am sure Nathan will be fine, you just enjoy yourself. Merry Christmas to you and your family - look forward to more catch ups next years

Amanda - you should post a pic of your new do! Glad to hear Cody is OK after his fall, he's not the only one falling lately. A few junies reported falls recently. LOL about the poo, how nice having it in his hair (yuk!!!). Its so funny when they find their "bits", Marley pulls at hers so hard you think it would hurt!

Brother just rang, we are leaving here in 15 mins!!! He said it is pouring in Vermont! Bring it on.....
