Leg it! - To Guthridge Lake in Sale!

hey there everyone

our 'worlds greatest shave' is absolutely zooming along, and we want to thank EVERYONE of you who has donated to this worthy cause...i think at last check i was sitting at 80%, only about $1000 or so to go before the big chop happens...its an amazing feeling...and i seriously cannot WAIT to be a part of it...

Team Melonhead has been able to raise an enormous $6689.00 to date...what a bloody fantastic effort, and thanks to team melonhead members - Russell, Tonia and Marnie for putting their heads on the line!

if you are interested in donating, jump online - www.worldsgreatestshave.com and click on "sponsor"...you can sponsor me, team 'melonhead' or individual team melonhead members...

We have been training (well, a tiny bit!) for the 'celebratory walk/run' for "Leg it for Leukaemia" which is held this sunday at Lake Guthridge. For those who have not registered, you can rock up on the morning (bout 8.30am) and register, otherwise the run/walk starts around 9.30am. It should all wind up around 11.30am...

If anyone needs any help registering, just leave a msg and i will get back to you...

If anyone wants to leave a message, question or ANYTHING, you can contact the simpson family on

i set this email up to help us through the next 12 months as we have heaps of fundraising on the go...i think all of the BLA - bairnsdale ladies auxillary are already looking forward to a holiday...they have been working exceptionally hard!

anyways...overall we are travelling ok...its hard to believe that melon has been gone nearly 2 and a half months...its funny, we tend to take extra care when we are planting plants, or painting, or even sewing...everything we do, we have melon in mind...its actually quite a nice feeling - its like Eli is chief quality controller!

Pete has finished the painting on the balcony which is exciting, and has moved onto the boards around the house...we are getting some more mulch in the next few weeks in anticipation of our 'planting' day...we are also taking steps forward to see how we can set up a 'foundation' in memory of eli to help us keep melon's cottage moving forward! Lots of things going on and more importantly, to be positive about...

best fly
lots of love and hugs (and secretly hoping for some rain!)
