Caddie - It was contagious, but only since Saturday, and now no longer a risk either... so highly unlikely our munchkins will catch it. Ains is at Murdoch, lovely hospy that one. Yep, on a mission to put more energy into looking after myself - I look like crapola and feel pretty drained a lot of the time.

Kell - I was so in lurve with Bon Jovi as a teenager *drools* - actually he's looking pretty hot for an older guy still!

Jodi - Don't work too hard, hope that headache goes away soon. Did you get my email with the polenta fingers recipe? Xander loves them sooo much. Off to go look at piccies of your clever little girl.

Nessa - Just had a thought re the 18th cake, is there a theme to the party??? You could go with that. Xander isn't an overly chatty bub, he does make all the sounds he is supposed at this age, just not a chatterbox. He isn't one for giggling all the time either, but has the hugest grins and wide open mouth smiles with the occasional goofy laugh!

Chrissy - My body doesn't tolerate most contraceptives either, but as I'm not an overly fertile person, it's not really been a problem for me. Hope you get something sorted soon.

Rikki - Hope your beautiful princess is better tomorrow and can come home again.

Belle - Thanks for the call today, will call you soon to catch up properly.

Maz - How are you hon? Where you hiding?

Helen - Sounds like your body has given you a good reminder of why you should slow down sometimes (not that I can talk). Make sure you take a lot more "me" time from now on.

Annie - Sorry to hear Alexander has an ear infection, hope it clears soon.
