Hey all,

Nelle thanks for asking after me, yeah, I have been AWOL, but have been lurking and always love reading what you guys are up to. After 12 weeks I had about half a cup of coffee a day, I am a coffee-holic - love the stuff...

Well, I saw the marriage counsellor last Thurs, it was quite an emotional day and I felt zonked afterwards, DH has to go on Friday and then we go together next week.

Anyway, the news is that on 8 November, DH, Rylee and I are going to Melb for two weeks, then he is coming back to Johannesburg, I am going to NZ to stay with my family, DH will come over at Christmas for a couple of weeks then he will go back to Johannesburg and I will stay in NZ until mid Feb when our house in Melbourne will be available again.....so we have three weeks until Rylee and I are outta here - it is like working out a job notice when you resign. But will be kept busy with packing etc. DH isn't too happy about being away from Rylee but i can't stand it here any longer. So next year, he will be away for four weeks and back for two weeks, not ideal but......just one of those things.

Anyway, enough about me. Helen, how are you and Eithan going, Shell, good luck with the wisdom teeth, Anna - hugs to you, Rach - I am sure Jack will get the hang of swimming in a few more sessions, Belle - enjoy spending time with your friend from the US, hi to Kell, Maz, AnnaT, Annie, Meg, Nessa, Vixstar, sorry I have been such a slacker of late...
Gotta go have a shower
