Amanda,  this is absolutely fantastic.  I don't think we can really appreciate how much hard work has gone into pulling this off.  Hope you enjoy every stressful moment.

Congratulations Amanda. I can't begin to think of the organisation that this has taken. They obviously have a lot of confidence in you.

I am in awe Amanda - Congratulations!!  I would not even know where to start organising something of this magnitude!  May it be just the start of a wonderful annual event, hosted here in Adelaide of course!

Thank you all so much for indulging my boastfulness.  :-))

This week has not been without some major, unforeseen, challenges - including my son having a post-op haemorrhage, ambulance trip & emergency surgery - but tomorrow I hit the deck running and hope it all goes smoothly.

I'm VERY looking forward to next week & having it all behind me, one way or another.
Also looking forward to sharing a cuppa and some lemons with Karen next week!

Glad to hear all is well again on the home front Amanda and you can now concentrate on the job again.  Big weekend coming up and you will need that cuppa with Karen next week.  By the way, there was nothing wrong with those eggs you gave me.
Have a great weekend.

Amanda, I hope your son is much better now.  Just what you don't need at any time yet alone at such a bust time.
