Hi guys

Well its my big baby's birthday today. HAPPY BIRTHDAY CHELSEA!!! Thanks girls for you birthday wishes. She is very excited. Took her to McDonalds today with 3 of her friends, they had a ball playing for 3 hours on the equipment. She is just relaxing now watching a DVD.

Jess - bugger about the infection, hope it clears for you soon. HAPPY 6th BIRTHDAY TIM. What a bargain for his present but had to laugh at the postage! Hope it was still cheaper than normal for you.

Nickers - bet you are glad DH is back home. Hope the land hunting went well.

Karen - sorry to hear Luke isn't well, hope he is better today. Definately get some MooGoo - its miracle cream. Two of my GF's are combining their order with me, after seeing how good Marley's head is, they are convinced!

Simone - good luck at the meeting. Just remember to stay calm and focussed. Your mum is probably just excited to be having her daughter and grand kids home again.

Bath - sorry to hear you are having a bad day! Glad to hear the kids have calmed down for you. I think they know when we have off days and try to make it worse LOL!!! Maybe the brown sugar lets off more syrup when cooked? How did the potato salad go? What am extremely sweet thing of DH to do - just creating a poem is good enough, but creating it on the train is even better. Hope that lifted your spirits.

Amanda - sometimes I find it much easier to ignore their crappy comments, but I can understand why you bit back, its not a very nice thing to hear. They are very good at pushing buttons! The cake was great, I did take a picture of Chelsea with it but you may not be able to see it very well. I just did a big square one as I ran out of time but I did cover it in the flowers. I will make the "4" on Saturday. I will try to upload pic or email it to you.

DH has just got back from his bike ride (he goes back to work tomorrow after having 3 weeks off - yeah!!!) and is going to take Chelsea for a swim (she got new bathers for her birthday). Might be time for a coffee!
