Bath - you are oh so right about being sick! DH has a cold at the moment and he is driving me crackers! Thankfully he is on nightshift so I can sleep peacefully without him snorting or blowing his nose constantly (or listen to him complaining lol!!!).

IK - glad to hear you haven't caught the full effects yet and Oscar is fairing better. It does sound very odd with your neighbour. Maybe she knows that her daughter has left and would rather say she "ran away".

Julie - poor Will! He and Marley would look a right pair at the moment. She has bruises everywhere! She had my keys on Monday and fell on them and grazed her cheek which has now come up into a nice blue bruise, then today she was trying to climb over the rung of our bar stools and feel forward head first onto the tiles so another blue egg on her forehead! She is so accident prone, its embarassing! Great to hear you had a nice night out and I would love to see that movie, will have to see it (or get it on dvd) know after your recommendation. I think the kids are psychic, they hear the keys clicking away and know its time to wake uplol!!!

I had a great day today. Marley had her first day at swimming and she loved it! She did much better than Chelsea did when she first started. She was splashing so bad that I ended up being soaked. She did spend a lot of time trying to put her face in the water and subsequently drank lots of it! She then cracked it when it was time to get out. After that my GF and I went to lunch at one of our favourite cafes in Glen Waverley and it was so nice eating out with only one child. Had a yummy lunch, great coffee and enjoyed the sunshine as we had a table outside. Came home did some washing, Marley had a good sleep (the swim lesson really wore her out) so a good day all round.

Tomorrow looks like it will be just as nice as today.
