...and they were all YELLOW...

Not much to say but...how the heck do we STILL look this good in Yellow after 6hours of laminating... Lisa Wheeler = "Dale look at the camera"...

Here's the deal...

3 Months ago I signed up for Scottsdale Primary Schools Shave for a cure fundraiser... Committing to go blonde if the kids raised $3000...

The deadline for raising the money was last Tuesday...and last Monday morning they only had $1500...thats HALF the money needed...I was the top prize and of course was sitting pretty and loving the fact that I WOULDN'T have to go blonde...

However things started to go pair shape when by Monday afternoon another $800 had come in...in ONE day!!

I was starting to panic and yes to my dismay and with help from some last minute staff donations by Tuesday lunch time Scottsdale Primary had managed to SMASH all previous fundraising records and came romping home with $3012...

So...we all love to play phase 10... well thats probably how many phases it will take to get this hair blonde!!

Two days ago I sat in the hairdressers for 31/2 hours...my hair was lightened, highlighted and toned...all because if i'd just gone straight out blonde (because of my previous DARK colouring) it would have turned orange...

So before...

Here is me loving being in the middle of phase 1...
See the difference??...hmm anyway...
So phase 2 is another 3 hour stint next Wednesday and hopefully it will be the last phase for full on BLONDING...

Hey at least now i'll have an excuse for all the dumb things I say;)

Desperate Dash for Dessert...

The time is 4:30pm the call comes through...Oliver is in hospital...but the worst bit is SIMONE was doing DESSERT for family dinner...


WILL the family survive?...read on to find out...


Does this child look sick to you??

After finding Oliver in the playroom and NOT in bed with tubes everywhere we figured it was pretty much time to ask the IMPORTANT questions...

"Simone...where's the DESSERT?"

Luckily Simone understood the gravity of the situation and had thrown the dessert in the car on the way out the door for good measure...THATS MY SISTER!! WOOHOO

Crisis Averted!!

Generation Z...Oliver gives Jess a quick lesson on how to get the most usage out of her iphone...

Then we head home for some yummy dessert...

It was TOPS thanks Simone!

And in all seriousness we're glad Oliver is okay;)

Jewellery

With assurances that I wouldn't have to return to Zoodoo I decided that it would be safe to head south for the weekend again.

After THRASHING EVERYONE in a pool contest at the Fiona's place and being crowned the air hockey CHAMPION on Friday night I hit the hay all ready for some Jewellery shopping with Pesta on Saturday...

Here are some of the things I picked up...

Unfortuantely some pieces are missing from my pics because JESSICA nicked them already!!
After purchasing all this bling bling I spent the evening creating culinary delights and trying to get some service from ELLE in a COLES supermarket...
We travelled home for a question and answer Fast Breaker on Sunday night...
Questions like "Is Dale a Hot Deli Guy?" and "Should Dale get a Better Mullet?" Were frequent, luckily the questions were anonymous so NO ONE will ever KNOW who put them in the box:)
