    I'm writing but it's all on word and not in dooyoo yet - haven't even looked!
    I so don't wanna go back to work tomorrow either - not sure if I am coming down with DHs cold at the moment or not but had headache nearly all day today! Bah humbug!
    Ah well will try to complete a couple of reviews then go for a bath with my Tom Clancy :) I do love a bit of potential WW3 to make me feel better :rotfl:

    Oh and new cars... don't get tempted... We DID need a new/different car with baby on the way, but I wasn't planning on spending what DH managed to convince me to spend... roughly £23k! :eek: (ok so I got £6k trade in for my Mini which was actually quite good but still...)
