Arte - yay for new cars!!! wahoo! Wish we could have a new car, DH is talking about selling both of ours and just getting 1 nicer one but I'm not sure if I want to relinquish having my very own broombroom. I'm not sure that he's thunk it through very carefully. Sorry to hear about the ILs, we felt very similar when we spent a small fortune plus leave I didn't have at work to get to Qld for the wedding and then the family could barely rouse themselves to spend time with us while we were there. By the time we'd bought all the airfares and paid the car hire we could've gone to NZ and had a much better time and met up with my buddy Arte instead!!!

MP - wtg with the 12 week challenge, sounds awesome.

Trill, I hear you on the whole preteen/tween phase...DD1 has been known to blush furiously at the mention of certain boys' names so I fear we're well on our way LOL. Are you gearing up for another semester soon? How many subjects are you doing this time?
