I'm leaving on a jet plane........

Sounds much more exciting than it is!! but I will be away for the weekend. Mum and I are flying up to Sydney tomorrow for a few days. A very close friend of mine who now lives in Queensland makes ceramic buttons and we are meeting her and her husband to help them at a wholesale Quilt and Craft Expo. We went to one in Melbourne with them in November and had so much fun, it was like a pair of kids let loose in a candy shop!! Not as much fun as if it was a retail show but still plenty to look at and ooh and aah.......There may be a few purchases!! and the camera is packed so hopefully I'll have lots to report next week. Of course it means I will be leaving SH at home with the kids for the long weekend. It doesn't phase him at all, he is wonderful and because it is a holiday weekend ( Queens birthday ) there is not the usual sport to ferry them around to . I actually miss them a lot when I'm not there and if we'd thought of it earlier maybe they could of come too and done some exploring in Sydney. Mum will arrive today as I finish work at midday and we are off to the hairdressers. She is always complaining about her hair (neither of us are blessed with a good head of hair - very thin and straight ) and her hairdresser and the lack of imagination used so we are shouting her a cut and color as part of her birthday present. Hopefully we will then have time to have a look for something for her to wear to her birthday lunch in a few weeks! Should be a lovely afternoon.
