Julie - you poor thing, what a *****ty weekend you've had. So glad to hear its all turning around. Sounds like Oscar has a strong immune system if he managed to avoid it all. I only have a couple of cot sheet too, might have to stock up on a few more. Regarding the figurine, I will go buy another one and Chelsea told me she wont go near them anymore. Don't worry about the copyright, go for it girl! Me and a couple of friends wont to go into business selling those type of canvases for kids rooms. We were thinking of having a couple of designs for each gender. The ones I have seen on the net are sooo expensive, our will be much more affordable. Yeah on the house front, it will be built before you know it! My other reason for getting to work early (apart from the coffee and chat with my friend) is to get a carpark. It is ridiculous, if you don't get there early, there are no spots and you spend ages driving around.

Tali - fingers crossed about your block of land, it sounds like a decent size. Have fun at the show, I bet it lovely and sunny in cairns today? It only got to 9 yesterday (far too cold!!!).

Ali - you must be stuffed! Hope you find something that works soon. Might be the new environment. I moved Marleys cot once and she wouldn't sleep, moved it back and she was fine.

Bath - is it your birthday today? If it is a big HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU, hugs! Would that be why you are heading out tonight - have a wonderful time. Family dinners out are such fun esp when the kids behave themselves. Enjoy! Wade is such a thoughtful little man and I liked the idea of keeping whatever any one leaves behind, clever lol!!!

Dee - sorry, little bit of giggling here too!!! I can understand why the eviction. I used to have to use sticky tape on Chelsea's nappies as she always pulled them off. I then had to use scissors to cut them off her as I used so much tape. You might have to get out the sticky tape lol!!!

Nic - congratulations, I'm sure the sale will go through. Things are all happening now for you. Glad the talk with the neighbours went well, I would totally understand if it was me. They would prob do the same thing if the roles were reversed. That bubbly is going to taste so good - enjoy your celebrations, well deserved. PML about the poo incident, why is it that poo stories always make us laugh???

Donna - I have been hibernating inside too today, it far too cold to go outside! I've done a bit of housework but I really can't get motivated today, thankfully the house was still clean from Monday.

Maya - I saw snow at Ferny Creek general store on the news and looked like quite a bit of it. How is it at your place, did you get any snow?

The sun is finally out here, but it is still so cold. Heaters have been raging since this morning. Kids have been really good today considering they have been cooped up all day. Chelsea did some painting this morning and we made jelly (for dessert tonight) and crepes for atea! Just had mine with a cuppa and they were delicious. My baby brother (he is 12 years younger than me) is coming for dinner tonight (chicken curry) and I need to get work stuff organised for tomorrow. DH is home tomorrow so I don't need to get the kids stuff ready. This will make my morning a lot easier.

Hope everyone is having a good day
