Ali - love the new you, esp the dress. So cute! Well done Bath.

Maya - how hectic is your life LOL!! The Santa in David Jones at The Glen is a friend of FIL. He's a very lovely old man and really looks like Santa, very kind to the kids. Will be working on getting Marley up there when school finishes. Is it the Burrinja gallery? When I worked up there, we used to take clients and it was beautiful. Haven't been for ages - prob 8 years! Enjoy those delicious smackers, they're priceless. The more dribbly the better

Amanda - so glad to hear from you. Julian sounds like a delight and great that he is giving you a decent nights sleep. How bloody scary with Cody. You must have been freaking out. Glad to hear he is ok. Noticed anything funny floating in the bowl????

Chelsea only has 5 more days of being a Preppie!!! Where has the time gone? She is getting ready to meet her new teacher next week. They are having a mtea in her new classroom. She is getting excited to find out who she has (and so am I). Marley's cold has almost disappeared and my crazy, feral munchkin is back! She is so crazy. Tonight she was so hyper but very funny. She cracks herself up all the time. We have this singing, dancing xmas tree that she is obsessed with and continually pushes the button so it sings. It sings some rock and roll christmas song that I am sooooo over. We also have a bear that sings "White Christmas" and usually the two are going off at once. I know Nic can sympathise with me.

Only 5 more work days till holidays - YEAH!!! I can't wait. I have been so super busy the past couple of weeks that a nice, long break is in order.

How's everyone's chrissy preparations going?
