Oh Dee that is fabulous news on both counts and good to have you back! How marvellous that Melissa's finger has healed so well! Was it Brianna that was with her when it happened? she must be so relieved too It is awful that it happened to such a weenie girl but probably her age helped her recover so well!

And the job - wow! Not only a new country but I assume you will be able to see more of Michael? How long do you think you wil stay, or is it too early to decide? It will be great with the kids being so young - you will have less of the "How dare you take me from my social circle" stuff I assume.

Julie I forgot to say - MILs are such pains - grr!

Well last night I made vegetarian and meat sauces for a lasagne today - now all I need to do is the bechamel and buy the lasagne sheets. Was going to make my own pasta but thought that is too risky to do with short notice and a newborn. But he's not so new anymore - 8 weeks old next Wednesday. He will be driving a car before I know it
