    Oh Anniestar, your post did make me smile - sounds like a very spectacular sight...and the reaction of the manager was priceless!!!! I agree, it is most definitely a skill!!

    My head/neck ache has cleared now, probably down to a couple of hours dozing in bed, but my knees are all grazed & sore... And that was through jeans. If only Richard Gere had been around to pick me up ;):) That would have made me feel much better....

    Morwenna, earache is horrible, hope it goes away soon. I think holding the class back for 30 mins without notice is a bit irresponsible - as you say, parents worry and those children may also have to collect younger siblings. I would be inclined to contact the school & point that out. And even more relevant as the evenings draw in too.
    Betheebee, what a worrying time for you, and not helpful when you get idiots like those on the other thread. Really hope you get it all sorted soon. I remember when I got a new mattress for my bed - the difference was enormous. I also have an old double quilt on top of it, under my sheet & that makes it feel even more snuggly. I love my bed :)

    Redruby, you reminded me I forgot to say to W-Sybil earlier how well she is doing too!
    Troo, are you having fun with your new printer/scanner now????

    Think I will hammer on the floor & persuade one of my DD's to make me a nice cuppa now :)

    Ohh SQUIGGLY, :rotfl: when I mentioned in my post about ''beds r us'' It was so we could put our cash in a safe place. Oh Bless you have made me laugh, just when I was going to cry.

    Beth, as you start to shuffle your money around, do remember to double check if a smaller institution is part of a larger one, as this may affect any future claims on the 50K compensation.
    I hope that sorting out the account with Icesave doesn't take too long.

    well goodness - here i am late again. In my defence I have had a very loooooooong day at w*rk. the court didn't finish till just before six - very annoying. I almost cried when I saw who I've got tomorrow - another tortoise :rolleyes: I will be taking my weekly shopping list to w8rk with me for the third day running tomorrow to try to get it done - all I can say is thank goodness for dd(23) and her freezer clogging junk fetish and seemingly endless supply of oven chips :D

    haven't even read the thread properly but gather that there's been lots of falling about and only some of it in laughter. Hope you're all as well as can be expected
