We've had a huge day today at the RWA Conference with a fabulous few sessions with Angela Ackerman who provided us with tools to create larger …

I’m here!
It's funny how you never take advantage of the benefits of a big city when you live in one. Coming to Melbourne now is always exciting for me because I get to take advantage of the best it has to offer! And today I did! Shopping, great food, bubble baths! Such a great day! …
1 more sleep!!!
It's nearly midnight and I'm still running around like a blue-arsed fly! But I'm nearly sorted! Just finalising paperwork so it's all ready for when I arrive and then I can hit the sack.
