Tracy - Hey thanks for your comments, especially that my lab is a bit of a cutie, yeah we think so too!

Michelle W - Too funny about Indy - but yep, I think being only ten months old excuses him from having such good table manners LOL! Milo's got a few years on Indy - he's twelve.

Janine - LOL, Tui and Koko, yep that sure would be a fight, a cat fight! But it would make for some really cute photos if they were tucked under the duvet together, their cute little faces poking out...!!

Michelle F - Thanks for the positive talk on the flight! I keep telling myself it will be fine, and come hell or high water I will make myself do it, I just have to tell that niggling little voice in my head to shut up!

Hannah - Meg said you and Megan RF were going down. I've offered to come and help on the stall to give you guys a break for lunch etc...oh and I imagnie you will want to check out some of the shopping there too! And while I could get the train home...I have to make myself fly again sooner or later, there's too many things I put off doing because it involves a flight. I would have loved to have gone down for the last camp in Queenstown, but oh no it involved flying (and time off...)

Mich - Yeah Mich, you should so be coming to SENZ. Make up some feeble excuse to your husband! C'mon c'mon...!!! Please, pretty please with cupcakes on top ...(cos we know you have a cupcake thing going...!)

Mandy B - Cool Mandy, at last we get to meet. And don't worry, your not the only one whose cat has an album, mine has two, and the dog has one. Must be a kindergarten teacher type of insanity!
Great advice for the flight, must be on the lookout for some book that will get me engrossed and the hour will have been and gone before I know it. Maybe a Mills and Boon LOL! So when are you going to get yourself a blog Mandy?

Vicki - Yeah, my boy has such sad soulful eyes. And, hey you might be a bit nervous, but at least you got on the plane. My last flight from Australia I was in tears, but had to get on, no other way home!

Beverley - Nope wasn't planning on submitting. Have never really considered it. I'm a bit scared that I would be driven by the need to be published rather than just have fun scrapbooking. And of course I look and think my works not really good enough. Having said that, I was never going to have a blog, way to time consuming - and they are! But I wouldn't be without it, I love my blogging and online world, it rocks! So you just never know, never say never!

I think all of your words of advice and support are just great. I'm thinking I should make myself a tag book or something similar and write them all down and then when I'm on the flight and they shut the door (breathe, Tracey breathe...) I can sit and read/repeat them, that should calm me down!
