I am very excited about coming to Melb, and really hope I get to meet up with all you lovely ladies. We are arriving in Melb on Tuesday 29th Sept and flying out again on Wednesday 7th October. We are staying on Wellington Cres in East Melb, so we are lovely and central. We dont have any firm plans as yet- my SIL and I have a few good shopping trips planned, and want to go out Dancing 1 night (any ideas let me know), we are heading out to the crown one night for a look round, probably the sat night- we will get a siter in that night to have the kids, and we want to go down and see the penguins. Like I say though other than that we are just going to take it as it comes.
Just quickly as I am about to go out and collect AFL tickets for this weekends game between Footscray and Geelong (Father's Day gift for DH... he doesn't know it yet!)
Ali: I met up with Lulu, Sushee, Niliac and a friend recently at Crown and we had a great time dancing etc. I am happy to relive this with you LOL I'll PM you when I get back.
Bath- that sounds awesome!! I am getting very excited about my holiday now. Looking forward to clothes shopping for the new skinnier version of myself too- although not too much because hoping to get utd soon.
Melb girls- Do you think we will need to hire a car to see Melb at its best, or are we better of walking and using public transport?
Are you going to stick to the metropolitan area Ali? If so I personally wouldn't hire a car... but then again I don't drive. It's soooo much more enjoyable just to sit back, say in a tram, and watch the city scenery as it passes by than struggle with maps as you drive and dealing with some of our unusual road rules like the hook turns etc. You can travel all day in all zones on all modes of public transport for under $10 a day per person I think... $2.50 on a Sunday ... that wouldn't even cover petrol if you were driving. ETA: a free tram circles the city too.

Maya - was hoping you'd been in to update us on the rally. It looks like it all went well? Would love to hear some details.
Ali - I agree with Bath (and I'm not a fan of public transport!), if you don't know your way around it can be so time consuming and hook turns are horrid.
I finally have a breakthrough with the TT. Marley finally did her first poo on the toilet Yesterday I was heading out and I could see she wanted to do one, but being as stubborn as she is, didn't do it. Took a change of clothes just in case. Got home and dropped her off with DH and went to pick up Chelsea. When I got home, she was at the window with the most excited look on her face, banging on the window. I got inside and she raced over, talking 100 miles an hour telling me. I couldn't understand at first as she was talking so fast. When I finally got it, I gave her a huge hug and she was so proud of herself. She kept telling me she was excited!!! Hopefully this is the start of her finally doing it in the toilet - and not in her undies!!! Very proud of my little devil
Yay Marley! LOL I'm sure that was a pivotal moment Mel, she sounded so proud of herself!
I'm just about to do the school run... but if you haven't already noticed I've given up on the gallery in BB getting fixed and have resorted to booting up FaceBook again. If anyone here would like to add me I'm Bathsheba Smith in FB.
I am loving your pics!! Its so nice seeing the kids progress from their newborn pics to now. Niall is looking more like Wade now, his face has changed. And you girl!! You haven't changed a bit, still as gorgeous as ever!
Well girls, I am off to Brisbane tomorrow Still got so much to do. Hair app, back bags, hopefully not forget anything!! Type DH a list of what he has to do during the week (his request, he is worried he will forget something) and pick up some last minute things from the shops. I'm sure DH will be fine but it will give him an idea of what I do during the week. Difference is, he has the week off! Last time he was away, it was for 8 days and I still worked as normal during that time and the house ran like clockwork!! I'm not expecting it to go that well for him lol!!! I told his mum to expect him over for dinner a few times as his cooking is pretty disatrous!
LOL I'm sure that was a pivotal moment Mel, she sounded so proud of herself!
