Gee Cass, your MIL sounds rather harsh!
Kindy follows school terms, so still another week to go until it starts again.

I need the Big Girl Undies Went shopping today to get some new pants and I am too big for Size 18! I couldn't find the fat rack so I didn't end up getting anything. Will just have to make do with what I have even though I look like a homeless person. Hoping that the last 5kg from pregnancy will come of reasonably easily (then there is the 5kg from the pregnancy before...)

On the bright side, while we were in Taupo we ran into an old friend we hadn't seen in years! She went to school with DH and was in Brisbane when we were but they moved away and we lost touch about 6 years ago. So nice to catch up with them, even if the kids were being brats!

ETA Ginger, posted at the same time. I am sure that L will fly through surgery with no problems
