I wasn't going to comment, I was just going to read, enjoy and melt away... but then I saw that *you* like comments. So, Hi! I'm also trying the 1 vege day a week. It helps that I like veges :)
Also, I've been thinking about the awesome times I had with friends at your bach. Thank-you so much for letting Jenni organise those! Seriously some awesome, awesome memories.
