    First step spinkle a little emotional blackmail over the men in the family and then tell each one that the other has agreed to perfom said task on said day....infalliable!
    I found that whining and complaining for a couple of weeks and then promising NOT to whine and complain for a considerable amount of time motivated the workforce to throw their backs into it! :A:A;)
    Also bribed them with sausage sandwhiches and my world famous fruity tea loaf!

    I think this might prove Tom's point about cake... ;)

    Why the hell am I sat here at 00.31 pairing socks and sorting dry (non-iron) laundry out when I should be in bed asleep? :confused::mad::mad: I still need to make my bed up properly (I washed the bottom quilt) and change all the clocks... I hope ex has remembered to turn the ones back in his house so he doesn't turn up here at 10am!

    Right, off to go and change some more clocks. Catch you later :wave:

    Back in the real world... it would be nice, but I can't spend 6 hours in the car [strike]tomorrow [/strike]today.... some of us have work to do! I did none today :eek: and have an 8.30 start for a 4 hour meeting on Monday. However, if I work the logistics for my trip in November properly I may be able to catch up with a few of you ;) . I'll be heading from Newbury to Leeds on either the evening of the 17th or morning of the 18th (TBC) and heading back down on the morning of the 20th... I'll be in Leeds on the 19th, so anyone who wants to meet there on the Wednesday evening would be very popular, as I get bored with evenings in hotels...
