The title has NO relevance to this post .. the damn song is stuck in my head as the girls were watching Kung Fu Panda this afternoon. Did you know that the version in the credits is sung by erm the guy who was/is (?) in Gnarls Barkley! I thought his voice was familiar. (and of course Jack Black feature as well)

So on with the post:

Doing: Drinking hot chocolate, eating dark mint crisp cocolo chocolate waiting for Damien to drag himself away from Knights of the Old Republic so we can watch Heroes, we are woefully behind in ALL the tv shows we usually watch

Contemplating: Our trip to NZ which happens in 7 sleeps!! Very exciting and yet at the same time I feel very unorganised.

Christmas presents, what am I going to make this year?

Chickens, are they going to be ok while we are gone!?!

Sewing, oh so many  things that I want to make!! HUUUGE list.  FIrs things will be little backpacks for the girls for the NZ trip, PJ pants for me.
