Tali - your kids musn't be too nosey, Chelsea would look under anything, she is terrible. MIL booked the restaurant quite a while ago and before even asking if I wanted to go! She said she could always cancel it if I didn't want to go. She is pretty good, can be a bit over the top at times but overall she is a nice lady who means well. She looks after Marley for me which is a god send.

Nic - poor Nixon, he doesn't sound well. Hope the dr can do something for him. Its a worry when they don't want to eat anything, especially food they really love. I hope he gets better soon and Tyron too. I have heard of that book, will have to go and get it now I know someone in it LOL!!! Where do you get it from?

Had a nice big woo hoo today. My dad bought us a Sunbeam super dooper steam iron for xmas last year. It was fantastic, heaps of steam and ironed beautifully. It started to leak water so DH rang Sunbeam and they said to take it to a store near us for repair. The guys checked it over and it couldn't be fixed. Rang Sunbeam back and they said they are no longer making any of that type of iron, had too many problems with it. As it had a 2 year replacement guarantee, they said we could purchase anything to the value of $299! I don't even know what dad paid for it but they said that was the RRP. How fantastic. So DH and I checked out the Sunbeam website to start our shopping. The guy recommended this new digital iron, so we got that, a new kettle, rice cooker and slow cooker. We rang the repair guy with the details on Friday and they rang today to say they were ready to be picked up. How's that for excellent service? Will definately be buying Sunbeam again. When they arrived home, it was like xmas!

Better go and use my new iron to iron my work clothes!
