Geez I have missed heaps!!!! I didn't get an email about new discussions until today. I hate it when I miss so much! Sorry girls

Our NYE was brilliant. Had 3 other families come over for a bbq dinner and swim. It was so stinking hot, everyone spent ages in the pool. Then the big storm hit and everyone wanted to stay in, DH turned all the lights off and they all watched the storm in the pool. It was pouring down but they didn't want to move. It was great watching everyone have so much fun. Most of the adults spent time in the spa, it was weird sitting in there while it was pouring. Then it got really windy and stuff was blowing everywhere. The bigger kids got to stay up till midnight and then they were asleep by 12.15!!!! Poor things. Littlies went to bed around 10ish, and put up a bit of a fight.

Bath - I love the tightrope! Chelsea is really good at it. I was hopeless when I first started but getting the hang of it now. Skiing, not so good Sebel, you lucky girl! Sounds divine! Enjoy.

Maya - Earthly Treasures sounds great. Hope we can find a day to suit everyone. I have been checking out your pics and T is getting so big! Those cheeks are filling out, love chubby cheeks.

Ali - HAPPY 30th BIRTHDAY!!! I hope you had a great day Monday (you spring chicken!!!).

Tali - how fantastic for your sisters, you mum and dad must love having all these extra grandkids. My poor MIL will only have my two, BIL is not married and still lives at home (he is a bit of a loner) and is now 45 and not likely to marry or meet someone any time soon. I feel so bad for you, feeling so home sick. But Feb isn't far away, and you will have the best weekend. You should spoil yourselves and go for a spa treatment before the theatre. You deserve it. Thanks for asking where I was - its nice to know that I am missed

Rory - wow, a treechange for you too. How exciting. The Junies will have to make the pilgrimage to go and visit you all - that would be fun!

With regards to our meet up, I am on holidays until 19th Jan (and loving it!). I can do anyday next week, except 15th (Chelsea's birthday). And either Monday or Wednesday (week of 18th). Fingers crossed we can get together. Maya, I will bring the muslins for you!

Had my niece stay over last night and took the kids to the Collingwood Childrens Farm today, which was great. The cafe was delicious!!! The kids got to hold guinea pigs and go and pat goats, cows, sheep and pigs. Marley got the most excited when she saw the resident cat lol!

Well that should be enough to keep you reading for a while lol!!!!
