Ali - bummer about your job. I am sure you dream job is just around the corner. Stay positive, you must have done something right to get to the final two. Last night the darkness didn't bother me so much as the boredom!!! Hope Tori is back to her cheerful self soon.

IK - so many people are now making that potato salad, its got a life of its own now! Hope Oscar enjoyed eating his mud LOL!! You'll have to start hunting around for some groovy placemats. I was going to do some with round placemats, they had some really funky ones at Ikea that were so cheap. Might have to make that a project after my holiday. Haven't done any in a while. Its so much fun making your own artwork! Can't wait to see your creations.

Nic - its now official. Will go check out your announcement.

Bath - fingers crossed you win your calendar! Hope DH does a good job of bidding for you.

Jess - pity Frankston isn't a bit closer to me, otherwise would have loved to met your brood. You picked the best day of the week to go, not too hot and hopefully not too many at the beach. Have a great day though.

After the high winds yesterday, it flattened my 5 beautiful standard iceberg roses which were growing huge! Some had the stakes broken off and they were all laying on the ground, I nearly cried! Thankfully most of them didn't break, but one did. It was looking extremely sick today and a bit wilted. Called MIL who is a gardening wizard and she did a patch up job on it, cut it back and gave it some Seasol to hopefully revive it. Fingers crossed it doesn't die as it was so full of flowers.

Time for bed, night all!
