Hiya Julie Good on you (and Rory!) for getting everything done! It really improves the spirits hey?

We've got GrandDad (FIL) staying with us this week which is nice. he is great with the kids, will sit and play with the boys for ages and gentley pull Verity into line when she needs it. But I can't spend as long as I usually do on BB... bit anti-social... but I do pop on here when I can.

Better go make that afternoon tea that I promised whilst the men are out the front yard fixing the fence.

Julie - I haven't yet found Marley on the dining table or sink yet, but that may come LOL!!!! We have a fairly low couch so she just throws up her leg and manages to catch on. Chelsea has taken to holding out her hands and encouraging her to jump off!! Great! Isn't it awesome having a clean house and knowing you don't have to do anymore (and sit on BB guilt free lol!). Can't wait to see pics of your new place, when do you expect to move in? Congrats on Will taking the plunge to walking, I love those first few weeks of wobbly steps. Seems like lots of kids are sick at the moment, hope both your boys feel better soon.

Bath - hiya! It must be nice having an extra pair of hands to help out with the kids. Oh whats for atea? I bet something really yummy.

Tali - wish I could offer you some advice about the girls. Mine go through stages but seem to get over it quick enough. We have had a few hair pulling and hitting (from Marley) incidents. It could be a jealousy thing, she might see DD as taking away your time with her. Teenage years with 2 girls in the house, what fun we will have! I can't believe it gets cold in Cairns? I thought it was hot all the time. Melb has turned on the sunshine today. I might go and catch the rest of bold too!

Bit of spring cleaning going on today. I have moved Chelsea's room around (I move furniture all the time, drives DH nuts!) and vacumed it, very happy with the new look. DH started painting our laundry yesterday, which is in desperate need of a paint! We renovated the house 5 years ago and the laundry was done and never painted! It is looking a bit fresher but I still need to finish the rest. Was going to try and move the dryer off the wall but thought I had better wait for DH to get home. Starting to clear out all our drawers in the bedroom ready for our new bedroom suite on Wed. Wish it was here today!!!!
