Thanks for all the well wishes, I'm still alive and feeling much better now. And for all of you who were concerned no it wasn't a spider bite. there was a significantly large amount of time between my virus and nearly getting bitten by the redback Thanks for your concerns anyway.

I'm so excited right now and I just want it to be Thursday already. Thursday evening I'll be picking my new little baby (of the scaly variety) up from the airport! I'm very nervous about having her transported by plane but they assure me that its the safest and quickest way.

Off to Brisbane next week!! I've never been there before so it should be a nice little adventure for me
