Well that's ok Cally because you *can* tour the Haigh's factory right here in sleepy Adelaide!! I've put my order in for a birthday tour this year PMSL.

Arte - OMG I was cracking right up at your ferry crossing story! You were brave going outside - it's big sea out there!! (not a boat lover I'm afraid - think I might've walked the plank in a former lifetime) LOL. BTW - OMG at your uncle - secret love twins - nice work if you can get it!! PMSL.

Clare, I want to know who won the game too! LOL Hope I had some really groovy pool moves since I don't have any IRL LOL. What business was it? Astral travel tours?

BTW - I would *never* pay that much for Clarks - that's why I buy them for $15 on ebay. LOL Always go for the nearly-new. AGree with Sherie the Gro-shu ones are good too.

Sherie - that's awful about your Mirena - hope the procedure goes smoothly and you have a good recovery. Yuck. But just try to think of it as a little speedbump on an otherwise smooth road. Well done on the bargains. Still haven't decided about the curtains.

Rainy, re the surgeon, DH had it done as a day procedure at the defence medical centre, so I bet there are surgeons around who will do it in their rooms (under a local). If he wants a GA though might need to get it done thru a hospy. Fantastic news on having a couple of holidays finally!!
