The pox

Arghhhh ...woke this am to a 5yr old with chickenpox.. :) Shannon has a nice sprinkling of spots over the body.
Just about to take a shower and pack an overnight bag I've borrowed, and head on my next adventure. Brisbane here I come !! Not sure if I shall be able to blog whilst away but will take the laptop anyway. I keep getting asked if I have seen any kangaroos yet? No not yet but I should at the zoo on fri. Couple of ozzie facts, the water here is so good girls I havent needed hair conditioner, the water makes your hair and skin so soft, I should bottle it and bring it home and make a fortune. Oh and they drive on the same side as us, but they certainly dont drive like us, crossing the road is an adventure, especially of you can make it to the otherside, and U turns...haha they do them all over the place!! and traffic lights go red green...no amber so be ready to pull away fast :)
Well thats this mornings titbits..or nites if your in the UK..... speak again soon

Gday cobber


Still no kangaroo bollock..haha but did spot a packet of koala doo doo :) Surendered to a whim, found a Brown Sugar shop in Frankston and bought the 2 cardi's I had my eye on, credit card took a bashing but I really liked them and apparently there aren't these shops in Sydney. Now the panic will be trying to get them in the case and keep the weight down ....arghhhh the 20kgs is an obsession now. I dread what I might find to buy in Sydney or even Brisbane cos there will just not be any MORE room. Managed to get the last of the pressies for Mum, A, the nephews and niece and vonnie etc. Even got 36 little kangaroos for the kids back at the preschool.
Emma's had a few different aches and pains today so fingers crossed. She's tired and I'm shattered and not even pregnant !!
Geing used to this independant life, We are about 1 and half hours from Melbourne I think, and I've booked the transport to get myself back to the airport tomorrow to fly to Brisbane. The lady at the place helped too hahah.....first I've got to find my way from Mornington to Franskston at about 10 am then stand at the bus stop on some street at 11 am for the skybus that wll take me to the airport $31...not bad huh... Paul will collect me on Sat if theres no baby being born...if there is then its find a hotel or B&B and find my way to Mornington on Easter Sunday.... I don't think I'll get any easter eggs this year...the Easter bunny wont know where to find me :(
thanks for the emails....its nice to get them... I find it really weird to think that when I am starting to rest for the day... back in UK you are just waking and starting work.
ps I found a shop that had a corner that was England... so we are having Birds Custard and apple pie (once i've taught Emma how to make custard not ready made from a tin)
