Aghhhhhhhhh! That picture!

Let me see if I can recite that book by heart yet ...

'I am a dog, as keen as can be, is there room on that broom for a dog like me?' 'Of course, said the witch' and the cat clambered on. The witch tapped her broomstick, and "woosh" they were gone.

I loved it the first 175 times ... unfortunately the littlun still does.

I prefer Wobble Bear though "Early in the morning, he goes to Mummy's room, tries Mummy's shoes on boom Boom BOOM Far too early, Mum yawns, go back to bed! Wobble Bear walks on his daddy instead."

Still don't hate it at the 180th reading : )

It will all go fine.

You'll get a good job.
Buy a big house.
and come back on here and tell us all how easy it is!
Keep yer positive hat on, and when that slips off have a beer!
My personal mantra at times of stress is simply "Oh F**K IT!".
You can use it if you like!

Good posting, will keep this in mind when feeling really pis..d off!!

I must say I have felt fine up to now, but yesterday what with the plane at Washington DC ( we are flying there!), terrorist threats and watching that Down Under programme last night I am now a nervous wreck:scared: I hope my Son doesn't want to leave us like he did

Anyway you lot always keep me going. Thanks for the well wishes in advance and I will post an update ASAP.


Tina,

I hope you all have a fab holiday and then a smooth transition into Australian life in Queensland. Good luck and have a safe trip.

Looking forward to hearing all about the America trip; what drink shall I get on ice for you....?

Good luck, bon voyage and see you in 3 weeks!
Love
Pollyana and the Bloke!

P S Keep your eyes open for any lost boxes labelled "Brisbane", or any unclaimed furry pink chairs........ Theres some strange things out there.....

"room on a broom"
Agreed Leigh, its a brilliant book - and the picture was soooo apt!
My 3 year-old niece keeps pointing at it and asking if its me!
