Hiya Mel: Oh what a bother about your 'pute freezing! Our desktop was doing that... infact it still is... thankfully we've been given a laptop to use when things totally stall. Sounds like you are enjoying your new wardrobes, isn't it fantastic when everything has a place? Clutter doesn't seem to build up as much and when it does it's more enjoyable to put away. I'm a bit like your friend: don't like to think my baby is keeping others awake... but when people stay with us with small children it never bothers me I'm sure you will enjoy her company during the day. Wade's music class involved lots of percussion instruments, many that he had never used before so that alone was really good... they use them every week. I'm hoping to improve my own French a bit too. Oh and Verity said to me the other day "Mum, I don't want to sound like a bragger but i think I might be one of the best girls in my French class this year!" I'm not sure whether she's just saying that to increase her chances of getting that pink flip mobile phone that she's been promised (if she achieves top grading for French this year) but at least she sounds like she enjoys it. I'm really keen for my children to learn at least one other language to fluency level... I don't care what it is... but from my experience it really helps in so many areas of life and learning young is the key. Wade has another hour of Kinder on Friday... having just Niall is wonderful... the peace is bliss Are dermatologists covered by your health fund? I don't think we have it as one of our options, but I think we could add it if any of us had ongoing conditions. That's fantastic news about the appointment being brought forward! Let us know how you go. Also sorry for my part in posting so much yesterday LOL I got a bit carried away... #32 geeze hey? I've decided to try to add more by ETA but it's nice to say "Hi" to someone when they are online isn't it? Oh well, V&W are down the street playing... better start dinner while the house is quiet!
