leanne - oh you poor thing! i hope you are feeling a bit better today Love the new ticker pic

sara - LOL at Briley telling you to make a bottle, very cute, they sure know what they wnat at this age! i laughed hysterically when he said it to me so he kept repeating it and laughing at himself, very bad parenting! My Great Grandfather is only about 75 i reckon, still young enough to drive all the way from Brisbane to here which takes several days. He is actually my step-great grandfather, my 'real' great grandfather got killed in WW2 and my Nonna remarried when my Grandpa was a boy, thats why he is so young my Nonna had a toy boy LOL, she died about 10 years ago, so Pop is really the only Great grandparent i have really known. Great to hear that even though you are very broke, you are focusing on the positives, well done

I ust got the Playdough out for the very first time, what a mess! i will have to go out and buy a cheap plastic table cltoh to put under his little table to save the carpet. Archie still remembers who gave him what for xmas, like he'll grab his fire trucka nd say Nanna, or his chair and say ig (his aunties nickname is Wig), i am so surprised everyday at how switched on he is already, doesn't take them long to work out how the world works. Looking forward to our xms dinner today, my step mum has been cooking since yesterday afternoon, yummo!
