Sharleen - You guys have midnight trading? Damn Perth is so backwards... we are still stuck in the dark ages over here and consider ourselves lucky that we have 9pm trading for a few days this week.

Maz - I hope you are having a fantastic time tonight!

Nelle - Yep, lots of clothing changes... works out ok tho because he has a lovely Grandma that just loves to buy him clothes (normally he grows faster than he can wear them out) so finally he is getting some decent wear out of all his stuff. I hope Riv went down nicely for you tonight.

Adele - I'm sure next year will be fantastic for you, but like Sharleen said... lots of great things happened this year too!

Ambz - Gotta love the Subaru gearboxes :mad: at least that wont need doing for a while. Tyres are so expensive, my 'line used to have super expensive tyres as well - worth it for the grip, but they wear out so fast. Enjoy braving the shops tomorrow with your sis. That photo is adorable and totally worth the pee on the bed!

Jodi - I love that pic of Xander as well, I took it when I went to visit my Nanna on the weekend in Bunbury (the one who has had lots of strokes) - it was so amazing, neither Xander or my Nanna can speak, but the eye contact was a whole magic conversation in itself. Makes you realise that words aren't the only way to communicate. So happy to hear that Nina was nice and brave for her needles.. how is she tonight?

Could everyone please send there best regards to Belle, she had a bit of a fall today, unfortunately Julia was in her arms at the time. She did take Julia to the hospy for monitoring and all is ok (phew!) but I think Belle is pretty shaken. I'm speaking to her tomorrow to see how she is as I've only heard this via sms - will update you when I know more.

Well, I'm enjoying a small glass of red before I head off to the land of nod *bliss* fingers crossed Xander sleeps through tonight. Tonight was the first night I got him to sleep without comfort sucking on the boobie - took a bit longer, but he did nod off eventually (with a whole lot of grizzling I might add).
