Awww, Trish! You poor thing! Joel is a naughty, naughty boy! Still, it's very unfair that the media have made it bigger than what it is. Is Joel feeling bad about it? I bet going to the police station scared the crap outta him! (and, of course, you!). Maybe high schools need to adopt the strategy that some private schools use of ringing parents when kids don't show up at school??

Fi - wow @ Jenna in the big-girl bed! Clever girl. Gab won't be in one for a loooong while yet. She'd fall out all the time, LOL. Even with a side-rail, I don't reckon she'd stay put. Thanks for letting us know about Bec.

THINKING OF YOU, BEC!! Hope Miss Eliza gets better soon!
Actually, I saw Nick down at Safeway the other day and said hi.

Tanya - LOL @ learning more Japanese!

It's 9:04am and Gab is still asleep!! Sheesh. She's a little sleeper. Yesterday she slept from 12:30pm through til 4:30pm. I am beginning to wonder if it's toooo much sleep. Hmmm

We went to my BIL's place last night. He was steaming up a train that Neil's Dad built from scratch that hasn't been steamed up in 5 years! It was kind of a resurrection in a way as Neil and his brothers are quite attached to the train (obviously... their Dad poured his heart and soul into it). It's one of those mini trains that people can actually sit in? Really cool. We're going to get a train track around the house when we move to Dunkeld. It'll be great for the kids! Gabby was a little intrigued but HATED the whistle. The poor sausage just screamed every time they blew it. She's had a ride on a train before but I guess that was outside with heaps going on so she wasn't really afraid of the whistle (plus, she was way up in the back carriage). That was our excitement for the night, LOL.
