How's this Melb weather, last week heat wave, today freezing!!!! Thank goodness for the rain though, its doing a nice job watering my garden.

For those with older kids, definately go and see Horton Hears a Who. It was great, so lighthearted and funny. The kids loved it and sat for the whole movie with no problem. It went for about 90 mins. I can't believe how much popcorn 2 kids can devour!

Tali - thankfully no flooding (yet!). That's really awful that they are teaching kids of such a young age about getting fat. I understand the obesity epidemic but surely there is a better way of doing it. For some it might have the opposite effect and give them an eating disorder. I think its important for kids to understand why they need to eat healthy food but not by telling them they will get fat if they don't. My kids are both good eaters and are allowed treats. Sounds like you did a good job on the garden filling 2 skip bins. You must have been stuffed after that? How disappointing that the navy won't pay your moving expenses. Regardless of whether you can get a good deal to move everything, they should still be paying or at least contributing something. Get out plenty of winter clothes, because as you know, Melb winters can be super cold (esp after coming from Cairns). It must be hard to know what to pack now. I bet as soon as you do pack something, you will need it LOL!! Love the idea of a plug in heater.

Just been raiding my wardrobe for some warm clothes to wear to work tomorrow. Haven't had them out for a while. Will definately be packing the umbrella and scarf.
