I remember that from primary school, wasn't he called plop because he kept falling out of the tree or did I make that up?

I believe that's true! I haven't read it for many a year but I seem to remember him falling out of his tree! Poor little Plop! I wanted a pet owl for a long time after reading that!

I prefer Stalwart too, it isn't used enough in everyday language! Childrens book wise I love the Owl Who Was Afraid of the Dark! Little Plop is so cute!

I love children's books! The job I'm going for would mean I get to work on loads of cool stuff like Charlie & Lola (and lots of fairy books) and it would be perfect!! I love Plop too There was also The Cat Who Wanted to go Home - I think it was a French cat who got on a boat to England by mistake and everyone thought it had a strange miaow, but actually it was saying 'chez moi, chez moi'

I wore a dark dress and black boots yesterday, I find dresses easier to wear than trousers/skirt and a top - shirts always look awful on me because I'm short with too much boobage, lol. I might just wear a plain dress with shoes and some good accessories. Ta for the advice, I will go and look in Tesco and Asda As long as it's something I like and I'll wear alot I don't mind, I just can't bear the thought of buying something for one use - maybe I've been indoctrinated more than I thought by MSE!

Hey all. Really in a bad mood now. Went to HSBC at lunchtime to get my single account converted into a joint account. NIM was late as he got a bit lost as I had the sat nav. The very bored woman said she couldn't open it for me anyway, as she was in on her own and it took too long. She also said it would probably require a credit check even though I'm an existing customer. Which I'm already aware I won't pass. I don't want to borrow any money, I just want a place to keep the money that I have and they won't let me, I was better off when I had 16k of debt, I never had any issues getting more credit. It's all because of that Alliance & Leicester big black mark, feel like re-writing the letter to be a bit stronger now I'm so upset over it.

Oh and 7 jobs came up for the airport this weekend, and while I was waiting for a response on what time of day the jobs can be done they all were taken by someone else. So that's £84 we won't be seeing.

I reakon if we did it in branch rather than online they wouldn't credit check us. Might see if we can get an appointment to do it instead.

You should definatly try it. I might be wrong but i seem to remember it being a pretty simple process. Hope you manage to get it sorted!
