Noni, fantastic that your bestie is on her way! I'm sure all those last little things will be easy and quick once you've got her there with you.

Supa, thanks for your PM. Bit far for my haircut but we will definitely work on a coffee date.

PP - excellent words of wisdom for MM. I too have total kitchen envy (TKE). My friend has a lovely white & groovy pastel one that just gets played with and played with and played with!

MM, like PP said, say what you need to but try to get zen in yourself. But definitely find out about the spa cover! It needs to be rock solid child-proof.

Agnes, how excellent to see you my dear! Yep Rainy's due to have her bub any day now, we're all so excited about it! I bet W had a blast with his grandparents. Happy birthday by the way !

Rainy, hope all's good up on the mountain. Good for you having cheer-up Maccas LOL.

Ange, no of course you're not a whinger, I think you are coping fantastically well, all things considered. Glad your DH got a cleaner. Lots of Vic ladies offered to help through the message thread, maybe now is a good time to accept some offers of help? Sorting and organising is soooo much easier when you can just sit there pointing while someone else does all the hard labour! LOL

Trill - pro-wrestling party - woohoo. Bet they all had an excellent time! Glad your blood results keep coming back good. BTW - what time off uni?? have re-enrolled and classes start again this week! LOL Sucker for punishment.

Clare, I had a giggle when I read Rainy asking how Leila is pronounced. My very first public bellydancing performance was to a song that goes "Leila leila"...LOL. I still have it on CD so I could send it to you so you can hum along to the tune with me LOL.
