Thanks for birthday wishes. We pretended it was yesterday and had cake with my family. It was a lovely day. Lu had a ball. My brothers bought her a mini tramp and she LOVES it. Great way to wear her out when the weather is bad!

Trill- Yup, he really has a toe for a thumb! Trimmed down though. It is pretty amazing. He was very lucky to have one of the top plastic surgeons in Melb fixing it.

Ginger- i think you should change it to Gilligan. Nah, you're the original, no-one will get confused.

Kate- WTG on the weight loss! Good work. Lucky for FB or he might have forgotten your birthday all together.

Mummapan- Plans going well thanks. Things have changed a little. DH is now going over for two weeks in a little while to get a few things sorted. Then he'll be back and we'll pack, then he'll go over again, come back and we'll all go. So the traveling plans in the next few months have changed somewhat! But more time for me to catch up with girlfriends i guess.

Well i think i'm off to bed. I have a party hang over. The excitement has worn me out!
