Cally - wow coming up to 10 years?! I suspect we've known you for more than half of that? LOL! I googled Lord Howe - it looks gorgeous, go for it! Bugger on the osteo & acne. Hopefully you will get some results.

MP - congrats on your promotion! You said the last one was going to be daunting and... here you are! LOL. No I *cannot* believe our babies are nearly finished prep. Youch @ J's head, hope it's healing nicely. I had a small LOL at you getting stuck into the wardrobes instead of going to yoga... it's kinda quality time, right?

Arte - so glad you managed to wend your way back! Sorry to hear more BIL dramas. How's the ole study going? That exam must be in your sights by now?

AFM - well no move for now (but not until after there was a three-way mexican staring competition) and DH got his promotion so it looks like that's the carrot that will keep him lining up for his sucky job for another X many years of my life . Apart from that, Little A's has started for the season, miss E blasted her first 500m, and pink lego is still in high rotation in our house.

DD1 has put a carved pumpkin on the doorstep and I have 5 million eyeball lollies to hand out, but I suspect it will mostly be my own DD's ringing the doorbell today. Happy Halloween for anyone doing anything about it!
