Clare - we can't even get any shoes around here that are smaller than a 5!! Most of our trips to Canberra involve a trip to a shoe shop to get her checked out again. And last trip she was too big for the 3.5's she had, but they had to just give her a 4 which is likely to only last about 6 weeks because there were no bigger ones in summer shoes and they only had 2 winter shoes in which both were hot pink and velcro - I can see her keeping them on - NOT!!

Hayley looked gorgeous in all her photos didn't she - and Maddie looked so good with all those people around and her cute little dress.

Trill - have a good break from us!

Kate - poor Sarah, I agree with MD, the vapouriser makes a huge difference whenever K has a cough. Hers tend to hang around about 3 weeks after all her other cold symptons have finished, feels like forever! Stupid pharmacist! And poor you, falling down the stairs!! Hope you mend quickly.

Rainy - glad the outlaw visit went well and she was on her best behaviour.

AFM - very sore back. I think I am sleeping funny and it is not being helped by DD wanting to be carried everywhere at the moment. Except yesterday, she did not want to be carried back from the beach, she insisted on pushing her smart trike - we got a block in 20 minutes, then I gave up, forced her into it and just put up with the screaming for the next few minutes until we got home. Very stubbon little thing.
