Wow, its great to see at bit of action on the Junie thread, heaps to read!!

Dee - great to see you back. That's great news about the CF, bet you were so relieved. The asthma must be worrying. I suppose the couch is as good a place as any to have a snooze! Although I'm sure you prefer him to sleep in his bed. We have held off moving Marley to a bed, I think she will be one of those that always gets out. I've paid off 2 out of my 4 fines and I hope I don't get anymore!

Tali - the ahh moments have ceased! They are back to being crazy and annoying the hell out of each other. Maybe having that 3rd baby is a bad idea!!! How was the carols last night? It would have been a bit chilly last night and it bucketed down about 5ish and thought about the people at carols. They got a huge crowd last year. I could hear the fireworks going off last night. Did you go today, hope you had a good time and enjoyed meeting the other BB girls. It turned out pretty good today but cold now.

Maya - have you got your result yet for your unit? I'm sure you would have passed, it must be a relief to have it all finished. Are you doing only one unit next year? The big train set must be a winner! My friend went to see Burn after Reading and loved it too, she said Brad Pitt was a bit freaky. DP work sounds like they treat their employees well and great that he has a permanent position.

Nic - did you get over your babysitting duties with 4 kids? Those tests are just ridiculous, my niece had so many tests as she was getting to smart for the testers. I think Tali is right, they need to have a better test available for this age group. I hope they get it over with at the next one. It can be very frustrating. Do you have Foxtel? Dexter series 3 is starting on foxtel on January 8. I am so tempted to get it so I can watch it. I keep checking Amazon to see when its available but it keeps saying "coming soon". What did you think of series 2? I thought it was fantastic, which is why I want more!

Bath - how is Niall? Hopefully much better. Did you go last night, how was it? We wanted to see pics of you and your new jacket.

Ali - the end is not far away! I can't believe Liam is nearly 1, this year has whizzed by.

I have been so busy with work, kids parties, xmas functions! Chelsea had a party today that Barbie Fairytopia came, she was hilarious! All dolled up like Barbie and with the american accent. She did a great job of keeping the kids entertained. We had another party Friday night at the bowling alley, which Chelsea won. She was so proud of herself. Marley has been a bit cranky the past few days and has a mild cold. A few kids at Chelsea's school have had this nasty cough that lingers for ages and I think Marley has it too. Not too unwell, just coughs alot and gets cranky very easily. DH had her today and said she was in a grumpy mood all day.

I have been doing a 12 day of christmas promotion with a kids clothing website. Each day they have different competions and so far I have won 2 prizes! One of them was from a Danish designer and you had to say which item you liked the best and why. I won it and its worth $40! Both prizes arrived today and they are so gorgeous - I love free stuff!!! Entered today's competions so hopefully might win some more. Great to add to the xmas stocking. They have some fantastic bargains and most of the stuff isn't sold in stores. Its got me so hooked!

Has anyone taken their kids to see Santa yet? How did they go? Marley is more than happy to shake his hand and talk to him but not too keen on sitting with him. I'm going to take both girls when Chelsea finishes school and hopefully they will both sit with him. Here's hoping! I just want one nice picture of them with Santa.

Hi to everyone else and hope you are all enjoying getting ready for xmas.
