Awwwww Hayley, don't feel bad - when you are both sick you just have to get through it the best you can. Its hard, but no one will hold it against you for having a jammy and Hi-5 day When she is coughing, as hard as it is for you to hear her so worked up, she needs to cough to get all the plhegm off her chest and ease some of her congestion. If you are up to it, give her back rubs while she is coughing and even rub some vicks into it.

Noni, everything will be FINE!!!! You will get the keys and you will move in without a hitch. Maybe your dad wont appreciate what he had till you've moved out?

Renee, don't worry about it - I would be a bundle of grey hairs if I worried too much about stuff that I've accidentally done to the kids when they were babies LOL. Like this morning for example, I was rushing around getting the older two ready for school and Alister will just crawl after me, trying to grab my dressing gown as I go past, well today he grabbed it, but I was moving too fast and I bowled him clean over. And then there are the times when he plays with the vacuum as I'm using it and I knock him over with it LOL.

Katie, we've got ordinary weather here today too, but we really need it now - things are looking very worrying again this year.

Cally, you are made of stronger stuff than I - I wouldn't be able to wait to unwrap a pressie LOL Do you have an idea what it is?

I am off to Wagga tomorrow with Lindsay for another appointment with his opthamologist (just a check up and hopefully a weaker prescription for him) and SHOPPING!!!!! I have been saving for ages so I can hit the sales LOL. They are all doing them early this year too.
