There are so many stalls to look at and sample some lovely food and mulled wine. There are also lots of rides etc. Just being there is enough!!! We didn't go ice skating either as the queues were too much and we'd be walking all day at that stage. You will love it Flea (probably more than the littlies will lol!)!

Threads getting quite heated considering I havent even got on the plane yet

Anyhow as you would expect final day countdown so I wake up with neck pain, one kid has a strange rash and get this...

the neighbour is whingin cause we put some stuff on the footpath for the kerbside clean up, every year she puts up about 500 metres of Xmas lights, and runs them for about 2 months solid, shes whinging about us putting a tiny piece of silver lamintae in the clean up, said it reflected in her window.

Off to book physio for neck and chop down 5000 christmas lights

You're moving to Canada aren't you? If so, the "radiation" of certain parts is nearly as high as Australia, so you still need to be careful.
