The first official day of school holidays

I'll try not to kill them on the first day. I'll be patient and calm. Except it's 2 degrees this morning! So it's going to be a cold day (which means lots of inside play). I am off to get some blood tests this morning - the first lot since my trial drug started. Hope …

I’ll try not to kill them on the first day. I’ll be patient and calm. Except it’s 2 degrees this morning! So it’s going to be a cold day (which means lots of inside play).

I am off to get some blood tests this morning – the first lot since my trial drug started. Hope it gives me some results. I have been feeling a little better actually, so fingers crossed…

Then I am having a hair trial for the Logies. Oooo the countdown is on! Tomorrow Amie and I head back to Melbourne for our final dress fitting. Helen Manuell is making our dresses, along with Giaan Rooney’s. She did Giaan’s wedding dress last year. We’ll be seeing Giaan tomorrow at our dress fittings. So exciting! We met Giaan a few months ago – she is THE nicest girl ever. Really liked her. Can’t wait to see my almost-finished dress…

[In the Herald Sun today]

Here is a sneak look at my shoes and purse. I wore my shoes while cleaning the house yesterday to get used to them. Was a funny sight! The things us women have to do…

PS. I will get to see One Direction on the weekend. Tell your teenage daughters not to hate me! There is so much hype about them at the moment… I can’t believe it really. Every time I turn on the tv theΒ networksΒ are fighting for them.

PPS. The Block starts next week. Will you be watching? I am going to be part of The Block’s Official Tweeting Family a few nights a week, so follow alongΒ via their new APP which will be up and running later this week. More about the APP soon.

    Yes it is the first day and mine have already asked for food 100 hundred times. SO annoying when they don’t get to eat until 10am at fruit time at school, and do you think they want fruit at home……of course not! I can only imagine what our food will be by the time they are 15. Enjoy the dress fitting, cant wait to see you looking fab for the logies! xx

    What a funny site you must have been cleaning in those heels! πŸ™‚

    Will definitely be watching The Block, not every night but when I can. Bit different this year with a bub in the house. Won’t be the same without you though πŸ™‚

    Can’t wait to see your Logies dress!!

    The thought of you cleaning the house in those sky high heels gave me a chuckle! Good way to ‘break ’em in’ though! I am looking forward to The Block again and am looking forward to your Logie dress reveal too. Good luck! Am so excited for you!

    Took my 2 eldest to movies today and now they are tearing each other apart! I suspect having to sit still for that long nearly killed them πŸ™‚

    Good luck with your test results, and of course your final dress fitting! Very exciting. If the shoes are a bit tight, rub some moisturiser on inside, especially around edges – helps to soften the leather and makes them more bearable to wear πŸ™‚

    The Melbourne papers love Helen! Always up for a comment πŸ˜‰ Will be watching the red carpet on Sunday with one eye on the tv & the other on Helen’s FB wall … oh & your Tweets too! Hope the weather warms up a bit for you though. You won’t want to have to hide your fabulous gown.
