    Morning all.

    I've got a wash load on, and need to take some dvds back to Blockbuster. But due to the lack of flying, I'm gonna do some DA coursework, hopefully...

    denisefowler - sounds like your having one of those time periods...not fun, hope all works out. Know what you mean about personal claim.

    Pigpen - I'm a coffee sorta girl, though trying to reduce my caffine intake (she says, glass of cherry coke in hand).

    DeniseNZ - permission to steal 'wanabe flybaby' from your sig?
