- The Get Scrapped Getaway (even if I could only attend half)
- Variety Club's 'Old Bags Lunch' with Leah and Allie
- Best meal would have to be the dinner at Viet de Lites with Rob & Dian. Specifically the satay chicken, which I think is the best I've ever had.
- Best steak I think I ever had was a porterhouse at The Austral
- The catering at the Old Bags Lunch was pretty good too
- I bought my birthday present early, and used it early. It's a Garmin Forerunner GPS watch that I can use for running. It can tell me pace, heart rate, elevation, and even what time sunrise is!
- I made my sister-in-law Linda a heart collage, similar to a dragonfly one I did for myself a couple of years ago
- Reed loved his Thomas the Tank Engine viewfinder. So retro, but it was a winner
- Chopped my hair (but chickened out, and only took off a little of the length), and regretted cutting any off
- Travelling on planes and buses (in Brisbane) is always challenging for me
- Leah and I conducted our own boot camp. Given the muscles soreness for the next couple of days, I think we were extremely successful in replicating Damien's training methods
- Attended dawn service on Anzac Day
- Cuddles with Fletcher and Josh
- Being sick with the flu all Easter weekend, and then sick with some sort of stomach bug Anzac Day weekend
