Rainy, housing in the gong is just as exxy as it is everywhere else. Hehe about your DH whinging about how cold he is, all the better to snuggle up to his toasty PG lady, I reckon!! Soooo pleased to hear the sleeping is working better at your house, I bet you feel like a changed woman.

Cinta love the idea of the leaning tower of cupcakes, ah if only I could perfect my cupcakes. Mine always turn out wonky and there's always some where the batter has oozed out the top. You'll have to post a pic of the cake your cousin dees.

Noni, love your party food ideas, esp the sunflowers! That'll look great.

Clare, you could always move to Adel, plenty of affordable housing there still... See you there in the new year, how about it???

Thanks everyone for your words of support. Tried to talk to DH about it last night but he's so far out there in army land he's forgotten how to communicate like a normal human being and it just made me even sh*ttier. It happens every time, they switch off the more evolved part of themselves and start acting like apes with guns. (*sigh*) Sorry for the vent, ladies, but you know you all keep me sane. s to everyone.
