Ooo and re the Santa thing the Norad site is great! We watch it with the children until Santa gets to France and then they have to go to bed so that they're asleep by the time he gets here

still bit late to go to the Minor Injuries clinic seeing as it was done that length of time.

Not if you bang it against the door frame and tell them it's started hurting again:p Seriously go get it looked at cause if you have done something you need to know that it is healing ok.

Welcome and no we don't care who does it as long as we can cross it off our list.

Why are you not writing sitcoms?


Sorry for your trouble Piggers...what kind of a pet was Kettle?

I LIVE a sitcom darlink!!!

Kettle was the absolutely VITAL pet which was worshipped a million times daily.. anyway he is all washed and ready to out in his box in a polystyrene shroud.. don't want people to think I ran a slovenly ship when he is dug up by Time Team in 5000 years time now do we?

I'm having that on my grave stone GSOH

and I have picked my funeral music - a Stevie Winwood song and the other one (same title) but I don't know whether to go with Winehouse or the Zutons.
You can guess the title ...

As I slip behind that curtain I want the Northern Soul classic

I'm on my way by Dean Parrish (s'on Youtube)

Lyrics include 'I'm on my way outta your life, flying high'

It's horrible when children are told "too young" that FC doesn't exist. It's the only reason I bother with Christmas - seeing the excitement on my childrens' faces. Luckily over here children tend to believe longer than they do "across" - probably because of the fairies over here A lot of children still believe when they go up to year 7 - and get told during an RE lesson near to Christmas the he doesn't exist. My DD1 said at least one of her friends was surprised when she heard last year. My own DD1 stopped believing the Christmas before in year 6 - but she was very worried about telling me :rotfl:I think she thought I would be angry! I have sworn her to secrecy and told her she must keep the "lie" going with the younger two :rotfl:

I had to tell my DD (Santa is not real) before she went to secondary school - she howled, I lost it and said (heartless b1tch that I am) by the way - how are you on the tooth fairy...she thumped me!

I was only 7 when some cow told me though...

Phew, thought i was going to get buried in there.. BUT i escaped hehe.

You'd be proud of me. Spare room is now ORGANISED chaos, as opposed to just a tip. I have started to arrange the furnitrure in there for my craft room, which it will be when i eventually get sorted out lol. There is even a patch of floor you can walk across, I am so proud of me hehe.

I've just got a leaflet from my catalogue trying (unsuccessfully ) to get me to spend "up to £3500" with them.

They have a "reversible tree". Err - why would you want your christmas tree upside down?
