    Sorry, did I not mention I'd applied for an amazing job?! They'd be keen on me, sent off my application the other day and of course had to mention I'd been ill for a long time so was expecting a thanks but no thanks type response! This is why I'm so happy - I was ill for 4 years and have missed my job MASSES!

    Going for 17 days! Can't wait. Have been to Sydney 3 times before so have done all the touristy stuff, now all that is left is the catching up with family and friends and eating in nice places!

    Also going to Abu Dhabi and Melbourne and have never been to either so excited about them too :)

    Congrats on the job. Is it international development work that you do?

    Have fun in Australia CMD! I'm so jealous!

    That sounds like very good news Bails! :T

    I prefer simple rings. I love your engagement ring Dinah, but I wouldn't want it myself because it seems like it'd catch on stuff. I like my rings to be flat if you know what I mean! :p

    OH bought me this ring for our anniversary and I love it because it's so understated. I love the jewellery in that shop though.

    I'm having 4, but only paying for 3, but I'm getting their dresses handmade to order in China, at a staggering $40 each, plus postage (unless I get NIMs dad to pick them up next time hes over!)

    My wife is going over in December! Possibly too soon for you though.
