SWEEEEEEEEEEET - oh Oz, that's pure magic that it's all sorted. I felt sure that it would turn out OK but you never can tell until it's all agreed in finality, can you?? smile Oh, happy, happy, happy ... amazingly great and overjoyous news for you. What a weight off *phew*! Can't remember who said it but someone quoted that there is some Good Luck on the board lately and it certainly seems to have found it's way to you. I'm really pleased. How fortunes change in a heartbeat, eh??

I am laughing to myself here as I was planning to tell my H that I would be going away for the weekend and would he come and look after the babies. SIL moved to Melbourne back last year and when all of this nonsense with the MLC kicked off, BIL invited me over to stay for as long as I felt I needed the break. I haven't been in touch with them recently as SIL started to stir the can of worms and yet I thought that to catch up with them would be a good way of being in Melbourne and catching up with you!! Of course, this would really yank H's chain and I can't do it due to finances at the moment but it was a good thought whilst it lasted. I also thought that, as he tells me there are some great flight bargains to be had (as he spends going to Adelaide to OW), then sauce for the gander could be sauce for the goose too, eh?? I hate myself for those thoughts but there are more of them (see my latest post)!!

Oooh, just read the posts on the next page ... yes, keep calm. You have come this far on your own and you will do the next bit too - thats just the practicalities. D can help you, of that I am sure, if you need a hand. She sounds sensible and even if she is an emotional crutch, at least she is there with you, as will S be on Friday - you must be so excited that he is coming home too!! You have lots of help so see your kids as sensible friends now that they are old enough and let them help you - I'm sure that they would be only too pleased and it would give them a sense of purpose at this time when their whole world is out of whack too.

Keep breathing ... deep, calming breaths. In with peace (breath in) 1, 2, 3, out with hate (blast out) 4, 5, 6 ... !!
