Not much happening here today. Supposed to be cleaning and packing before we head off tomorrow but you can see how well that's going

i hear ya babe. we are meant to be flying to italy next friday (DH *decided* that would be a great time ) and i have no idea where to start re: packing, dogs, cats etc. arrghhhhhh. we also need to organise inspection times for the house while we are away as when we get back we will only have a week to get it all sorted and move...gosh i am weak at the knees just thinking about all the work.

Oh boy! I would be making sure he helped you deal with all that.

OMG Clare get hopping, woman! The rule of thumb when moving - anything you think will take one week actually takes three weeks! (mind you that's for an interstate move, prolly less for a couple of suburbs LOL). How long are you going to spend in Italy? I"m sure it will be gorgeous, but your attention will be split by everything that needs doing at home, so the more you get done now the more you will enjoy the trip.

Cally those early starts sound exhausting. Missy E was calling out the other night for Mummy (a rarity) but when I went it she switched to Daddy LOL. We are V tempted to go with the ducky little Ikea bed (starts little, extends to a single bed size later on) but my number one priority is ducted evap aircon (if poss) before summer/surgery so she might get the sad old handmedown that DD1 slept in for 5 years (still in the shed, bit bendy in the middle but will do if needed) LOL.

Happy Birthday William!!! Hope you've had a spectacular day little man

cally - hannah sleeps in a king single ensemble bed -(we just have a rail on the side) It's good, because i usually end up in there with her at some stage through the night, and there is plenty of room. She still sleeps in her cot for her day time sleep though.

md - good idea getting the ducted aircon - we got it a couple of years ago, and it's fantastic. (although we hardly used it at all this winter )

clare - zowie Cavey!!!!! You better get cracking lovey!!! How totally exciting though. I've never been to Italy - and it's a place i'd love to travel to one day.

Trill - are you getting excited? I always get stressed when packing to go away - i always worry that i'm not going to pack everything we need.

Leanne - how much extra baggage did you have to bring home from your trip to Walmart?? I remember you saying how much you LOVE shopping there.

Have been on an excursion with Zoe today - and i'm exhausted. I must have been extra fit and patient when i was teaching. One of the boys in her class has a 'crush' on her. He kissed her hand in class in front of everyone and told the class he has a crush, and he loves her. Today on the bus, they sat next to each other - and he held her hand. Very cute, but at the same time '-"hey! that's one of my babies!!!"

JaZ: omg!! that must be sooo weird LOL! te he he ahhhh young pre-teen love....it was so lovely.

my rather craptacular news of the evening is that my Oma just overdosed on sleeping pills. she collapsed and has been rushed to the hospital. i guess they are just working to stabilise her at the moment. but my poor opa wasnt strong enough to pick her up and afterwards told us that he cant do it anymore and feels he needs to give up trying to care for her. it must be hard for him to face this, especially alone as we all live so far away.

gosh this sucks.

[Patooties]

Oh Clare - that is terrible news! Your poor Oma and Opa - and poor you. I hope everything will be alright. Take care.

[Isadora]

Oh no Clare!!! Big hugs to you & your family xox

Happy birthday to gorgeous William!

Jaz - I can imagine how you feel, its so cute but hey hang on a minute!! lol.

MD - Awww dont feel guilty, its easy to see how you missed it with your thoughts on your last chemo treatment.

Girls I have to cut this short, I am so sorry I've been slack lately, I am working on a massive essay at the moment cant wait to get it finished. Hi to everyone, hope you are all well.
