Back home and smiling now that the cool change has arrived... opened up the house... had a great time in the city: Borders/lunch with DH... didn't spend any other $ although Verity has been such an angel this morning that I have promised her a new pair of Haviana thongs and now that we have the same size feet I can borrow them off her! I hope her feet are going to slow down/stop now... it'd be great to be able to share the same shoes from now on plus it would save heaps of $.

Nic: Oh no! I know how you're feeling. When I was pregnant I forgot nearly EVERY hair appointment... I think I ended up ****ing off the hairdresser to the point that I don't feel comfortable returning! So now I just go to the local one here in our village.... cheaper anyhow... and they make me a coffee... the other place was all the way over in Fitzroy.... DH still goes there which annoys me because it's a waste of petrol i think when there are so many good places close by. Oh and I've been cutting Wade's hair for the past few months... bugger paying $20 a pop for him...even though he did love having it done and sat there like a statue like a little prince LOL Anyhow, i watched closely last time he had it done and if I do say so myself I reckon I do a pretty good job! I like it a bit longer on top so it keeps a bit of his curl... the hairdresser was a bit gung-ho and just snipped it all over... being fussy I take the time to get it just right... Verity lets me do hers too now and only needs an annual tidy up at the local place. DH will never let me touch his LOL he firmly believes it's best left to a professional and when it comes to his hair I agree.... too much responsibility! Plus men's cuts are always much cheaper than ladies so it doesn't really matter despite the fact that he has a cut every 6 weeks whether he needs it or not. He's my "high maintainence" man LOL his annual budget for clothing/shoes/accesories (eg cufflinks)/grooming etc way exceeds mine and it's only fair as he has a professional standard to maintain.

back in a tic... Niall's half way out the back door... he's become very mobile very quickly! Don't worry Nic, Nixon will soon follow suit! Enjoy the last few weeks of non-mobility!
