Nickers - lucky DH, mine would be very envious. He has been harping about getting one for ages! May get one in the new year, if he behaves himself LOL!! Love the coffee machine, I got one for a birthday present and it is awesome. I love the smell of fresh coffee in the house. How did you go house hunting? It so good Nixon can sit up know, it does make it easier for them to play with things. New Years Eve we are going to Jells Park with 2 other families for a picnic dinner and the kids can have a runaround at the huge playground (wear themselves out!!!), then back to my GF house for drinks. They have a big spa so no doubt the men will be in there with their beers. Going over the road sounds fantastic, only a quick stagger home LOL!!!
