Gidday All and Happy Birthday Mum!

OK, How is everyone?
I've been told off about being MIA, sorry about that, life getting in the way again!
Time to give you a very quick wee update.
I will add some scrapbook pages here, I have been doing these over the last few weeks as time allows and thought I had better get them off my hard drive and post them here today.
I seem to be more busy than usual. I cope, but only just and I'm really needing a nice quiet holiday, can't wait for Easter!
The boys are doing a lot, it keeps them active and they are both very happy. Jake has just started a Speech and Drama course at the new Dubai Community Arts Center. It's a proper program that ends formal LAMDA examinations. He is just doing the last part of the term so he doesn't have to worry about that just yet. Jake has been begging for drama classes for ages, he likes it but will be better when he moves into the 12+ age group next term.
Scott has a huge workload with school, he has been playing cricket, karting and helping out at Cubs (as part of his Duke of Edinborough award).
Grant is fine and I'm feeling a lot better.
Today I'm organising stuff to go in the school Trash & Treasure sale that's happening tomorrow. This place has very little storage space so it will be good to clear out a couple of cupboards. Hamster cage, old fish tanks etc etc... I really need to get on to that, just 1 1/2 hrs before I have to go back into school again. I'm always just about to go somewhere - it drives me nuts!!!!
Here are the latest layouts from me.

Frith I just love your scrapbooking. You could teach me a thing or too. YES isnt life busy. I dont work and I must be the most disorganised person you meet. AND I TRY SO HARD! Just about to send off invitations to our launching party. Wish you could come. Its on the 31st March.

Oh Dorene, I would like nothing better than to come to that party!
I wish you many years of blissful holidays, and fantastic racing for Brent. The boys are so very lucky to have that beautiful yacht in their family and they will have some fantastic adventures.
Thanks for your comments on the scrapbooking, I love digital but would be a klutz at the paper stuff. You are brilliant at that - so we're both great! (big Smile)
