Once upon a time...


In a land far far away, there lived a king and a queen and their four beautiful children... Unfortunately they were way too boring to write about, so you're all stuck with the Dimmock's instead!

We're a bit of a fractured fairytale.I can't promise to update every day...I'm a bit slack like that (shhh), but I'll do my best to keep it up.

And they all lived happily ever after...well that's the plan at least :oP

Leaving on a jet plane...

Woooohoooooo! The Dimmocks are UK bound!

Tickets booked, deposit paid...there's no stopping us now! Don't worry though...you have time to make your escape ;o) It's not happening until August 2011. Last time we were there was Christmas 2007. Freezing! I, being born and bred in the tropics, do not do cold. At all. Cold to me is needing to turn the ceiling fan off at night. Which we have to do for like a week...maybe. Every 2nd year. When we have a cold snap.

Anywho...I digress! Quick recap - last time we were there it was cold. And it kinda sucked. The kids couldn't go outside, the 2yr old was sick from the rapid temp change (it was 35c+ when we left home and -2 when we landed in London!), and the baby was only 6 months old. It was a bit of a rush too...we were only there 2 weeks and had to fit a Christening and Christmas into that. This time, we have 3 weeks, warmer weather (please??), and no planned appearances :oP

We're there for my birthday (27).(again, yes), and our 8th wedding anniversary! Not doing too badly considering he only married me to stay in the country, right? *insert eye rolling smiley here*.

Kids will also be old enough to enjoy it, and the big ones old enough to babysit the little ones while mummy and daddy have some kid free time! Weeeeeeeeeee!! That's my favourite part, can you tell?

Updates will follow as it gets closer to the big day!

A little about us...ok, mostly me...

Hey there! I'm guessing that most people who drop by to visit us here already know who we are, but just in case...

My name's Nikki. I'm mum to 4 (yeah, 4...can you believe it? No, me either *shudder*) kids, aged from 16 down to 4. My husband, Steff, is originally from the UK - I stole him away from the cold and the damp to live in Central Queensland, where he must endure almost endless sunshine and blue skies. Somehow he manages ;o)

I started this blog as a way to keep family in England up to date with our comings and goings. And it lets me show off how cute the kids are getting!

A little about me...I'm a professional photographer, I'm obsessive about Buffy the Vampire Slayer, love Harry Potter, Sookie Stackhouse (only book Sookie, not True Blood Sookie. It's an important distinction!), (the 10th) Doctor Who, cupcakes, and Spuffy fanfic (although not necessarily in that order). I'm also an extreme perfectionist with a love of the creative and original, who has a very low tolerance for stupidity. If you ask my husband, he'll tell you I'm a huge snob - I'm really not. I just think I'm better than everyone else :oP (That's a joke, ok? Pretty much).

Oh, and please leave a comment to tell me how fabulous you think I am...it makes me write faster and more often ;o) No really...that part wasn't a joke...
