Christmas

I look at what I have spent on Christmas for the kids and cry inside thinking of all the astro goodies it could have bought haha. Maybe if I'm good Santa will bring me a 4x TV Powermate :-)

Ah Cam, you are not dropping enough hints! Having said that, my kids ask me for a list every year, except they never get me anything off it anyway

I've asked for a subscription to AS&T but I'll probably get socks!

Mate with your adorable kids you should be very very happy to give them all you can. Power mates will come I'm sure.

For those who haven't met Cam and the kids, let me say they are a real pleasure. So well behaved, don't want the world, and are just plain happy kids.
You should be very proud of yourself Cam.
Just remember they aren't kids for very long. Enjoy the moment.

Kids will give you more joy than stargazing, it just takes a while. Definitely not instant gratification, believe me I have more miles on the clock. Youngest 24 but not grown up.

Enjoy then while you can, there is a potential stargazer there & have a great Christmas.
