One more sleep!

hi everyone...
well...the big night is almost here! One more sleep to go, and we couldnt get much more excitement than what we have had since getting home at 6.30pm! (been in melb with work!)
poor pete went to the farm to dish out some hay, and found that ALL the cows were together again (we weaned the 5 babies on monday) and a few gates and fences were in disarray! He was quite ok about loading them all onto a truck headed for the saleyards, but we have managed to see what the next few days bring. A quick phone call to farmer rob (great and fabulous man about 10mins away), and hopefully have the bubbas moved to his farm as of tonite for the next few weeks while things settle. We reckon melon might have had a bit of a giggle at the situation!
So, lesson learned (the hard way!)...babies to go to another farm for weaning!
It appears that the memory tree has survived its first 4 days at the farm..we have high expectations that it will (and alot of electric fencing!).
So, back to the shave...

last look (about 30mins ago) was that the total was a whopping $19,500 which is bloody AMAZING...thanks to each and every one of you who have contributed in some way to this fantastic cause. Many people to thank, but i will leave it to our little speech tomorrow night. (will post it over the weekend, along with some pics)...

To all of you who have helped, held morning and arvo teas, sold tickets etc to make this awesome total THANKS from all of us at team melonhead...you have no idea what this truly means...and i dont think i can do it justice...so take it as our massive THANX.
we look forward to seeing you tomorrow night for the shave, make sure your pockets are full of coin...lots will happen.
all the very best
