Mintie - sorry for the loss of Charlotte. I, too, was wondering if you had some inside info on the surprise BFP!
Ms Missy - so glad to hear that everything is going well! I am hardly on FB - i will have to try and make an effort.
Bellini - sorry I missed you on your visit to melbourne - between mobile phone dying, meetings and Seren's sleep patterns, i just couldn't get there. hopefully there will be a next time. we have settled into melbourne quite well thanks.
lex/hernette - count me in for lunch and I have put it in my calendar already so meetings won't get in the way.
Julz - is there a date for when we have to send SS off by?
Humpty - am thinking of you

okay - thats it - I have a new job (still same area but a very different role) which actually has me being quite busy so a lot less time on eb etc. I am also trying to get stuck into my gazillion cross-stitch and patchwork projects in the evening, so am avoiding the pc at home. we just had some lovely professional photos done (someone we know has a relative just starting out) - I will check to see if I can put them up on facebook.
