Nic - OMG!!! I hope you are. Fingers crossed for you. Regarding the paed rebate, I get $113 back from the $204 which isn't too bad. I just hope subsequent visits are not that expensive.

Ali - sounds promising about the job that they rang to do a reference check. I so hope you get it, fingers crossed for you too! I can't believe the housing prices in Perth - they used to be relatively cheap. Some of my family live over there and I remember a few years ago, my cousin bought a house and it was so cheap (and it was a big house). I suppose all the states are starting to get expensive, not just Melb and Sydney anymore.

7th - I don't know how you keep up with everything and who is where, doing what LOL!!! Your girls sound very lucky that you let them pursue the things they are interested in. I think I tried just about everything when I was a kid - and I wasn't really good at any of them!

Reasonably quiet day today (thankfully!), just preparing food for tonight. My baby brother (he is 22!) is coming for dinner and my day and other brother have pulled out so its just us! Oh well, easier to cook for smaller numbers. I am going to try and make crepes and I have cooked down some blackberries, blueberries and strawberries with a little sugar to fill them (and whipped cream on top, of course!!). Making souvalaki for dinner with some beautiful lamb backstraps I have marinating.

Hope everyone else is having a lovely day!
