Most often around 4.ooam.<BR/><BR/>Elsie, what I didn't mention is that I also managed to factor in enough time to run the dishwasher before we left. Sometimes I am so organised I could eat my own head...<BR/><BR/>J's Mommy, hello, I highly recommend getting over the fear of flying. Not only will it enable you to see the world, but it lets you leave the washing-up to someone else when you get there...<BR/><BR/>Hi Iota, how are the preparations going? I was including your herbal recommendation in my sweeping statement, and that's probably what I'll be looking for before we head home. That, or just give in and use the Calpol...<BR/><BR/>Aims, your comment reminds me of one of my 3 favourite jokes. In England, we like 2 days of the year. Christmas Day, and summer.<BR/><BR/>'nuff said?<BR/><BR/>Grit - I bet she had an aga. Nothing against them, but they do tend to foster that type of mistake...<BR/><BR/>Hi Pig, good point on the mice, though as we live in a basement and the loft of our building is now a flat, I have images of mice kitted out with rapelling gear and crampons abseiling down the inside of the walls. Obviously, their clothing would be North Face. We are in K&C, after all...<BR/><BR/>Hi SB, thanks. The jetlag does seem to be lifting now - though I'm told it's much worse on the way back. Can't wait...<BR/><BR/>Carolyn, don't listen to a word I've said. Go, go, go. The boys are having the time of their lives!<BR/><BR/>Ped, don't worry. I most certainly will...<BR/><BR/>Hi Tracey, yes we're here, thanks for the advice and if this is what you guys call winter (22 deg C), bring it on, is all I can say. I am assuming that I will have the chance to wear the slightly warmer stuff in Melbourne and Adelaide. In a way, I hope I do - or Husband will never let me live down the over-packing I've done in preparation...<BR/><BR/>Mya, we most certainly are. And based on the weather, as per previous comment, I may never come back...<BR/><BR/>Pig, that'll be the day...Potty Mummyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04751869800592294891noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5175562867822111389.post-54521900687281080052008-05-10T03:32:00.000+01:002008-05-10T03:32:00.000+01:00potty! fame! read you in the telegraph! have you ...potty! fame! read you in the telegraph! have you really gone to Oz to escape being papped??!!<BR/>PigxPig in the Kitchenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10631525119816074013noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5175562867822111389.post-2879523118551031242008-05-09T21:05:00.000+01:002008-05-09T21:05:00.000+01:00Are you there yet?Mya xAre you there yet?<BR/><BR/>Mya xMyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14106690738320651376noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5175562867822111389.post-73318954589052421862008-05-09T13:29:00.000+01:002008-05-09T13:29:00.000+01:00You've gone through all that, you're en route to O...You've gone through all that, you're en route to Oz, and you're still blogging?!!! Awesome stuff. (Methinks you might be the crazy one!) I've been wondering when you were going to hit our shores! <BR/>Yes we are heading into winter, but depending on where they go, they kind of need to pack for all seasons! Especially Queensland. Winter up there is probably like your summer! Kind of hard to tell what you'll make of what we call cold, though! (Mind you, you're heading to Melbourne as well aren't you! They do cold down there!<BR/>Have a wonderful time in our fair country anyway!!

(or is that a big salmonella no-no?)<BR/><BR/>Not a word about the mouse. Not one mention of it. Actually I will mention something...do you have a loft space in your building? They often nest in lofts and could just be scuttling down thru the walls. You do know they can climb walls don't you? So maybe, the problem is really someone else's and not yours.<BR/><BR/>HOW EXCITING that you are off on your trip! and even better that you took your laptop (i do hope you're not squinting over a blackberry to do all this typing)..pictures would be good, but if not, the news as it happens will be fine.

I have steak in the freezer which I am desperately defrosting and will have to eat all week-end. I have not packed yet. I have not shopped for any clothes, although in my defence, "summer wardrobe" and "England" don't sit all that easily together in the same sentence. But I am taking to heart your thoughts on drugging the kids to sleep. So far I've been to the health shop and got some herbal stuff, but I do have a doctor's appointment on another subject before we go, and I sense the words "prescription sleeping tablets for kids" hovering near my lips.<BR/><BR/>And when I read "Bangkok', I immediately started singing that song. <BR/><BR/>Enjoy your holiday!Iota https://www.blogger.com/profile/08507184283437057648noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5175562867822111389.post-41665571909361927972008-05-08T14:31:00.000+01:002008-05-08T14:31:00.000+01:00That is so funny....I will add this all to my list...That is so funny....I will add this all to my list should I ever get over my fear of flying and go down-under.<BR/><BR/>Save traveling when you get there and on your way home.Lisa @ Boondock Ramblingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11430994283914399581noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5175562867822111389.post-62811218457985463852008-05-08T13:37:00.000+01:002008-05-08T13:37:00.000+01:00i loved the fact you cooked a roast dinner just be...i loved the fact you cooked a roast dinner just before you went off! - all that washing up is what i keep thinking about! <BR/><BR/>very very funny post!Elsie Buttonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03768998561385293241noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5175562867822111389.post-57790836190045705382008-05-08T13:23:00.000+01:002008-05-08T13:23:00.000+01:00Oh Potty, are you feeling frazzled and jet lagged?...Oh Potty, are you feeling frazzled and jet lagged?
