Don't go over to Gas & Elec then :rotfl:

I know Dusty tries to be very green (she shops on a lot of the same sites as me!), and soappie is encouraging us all to shop locally and avoid supermarkets.

The ethical consumer website might be of interest, an possibly the ecologist as well. I'm involved at work with changing behaviours in relation to the environment (specifically paper usage, energy usage, waste management) and am responsible for the disposal of IT-related WEEE, so feel free to PM me if you think I might be able to help.

The British Library have an interesting talk on Wednesday (Can we save the planet and keep our freedoms) http://www.bl.uk/onlinegallery/whatson/events/january.html which may be available as a podcast afterwards. I'd like to go... but haven't booked yet, and am not keen on the whole getting the train into town & coming back late thing at the moment!

Thank you greenbee. I find it a fascinating subject. The whole sustainable consumption/development isnt only about environmental issues. Economic development and social issues are also important. I think thats where the insults (mud huts/sandals etc) were coming from. How do we get a balance of the 3 aspects? We all know that car usage is bad for the environment, but we dont want embb's DS to be made redundant either.

The British Library talk looks good. I hope it is available as a podcast. I'd be very interested to hear what the man from Tesco has to say.

Right, another hours work I think. 1,500 words done, another 1,500 to do *sigh*

Afternoon all

Been out at DS2's footie all morning and then had the lunches to do as everybody was cold and hungry.

Flying really going to pot this weekend but everybody's needs are being met re food, time, visited Nan, done the sporting activities and uniform all washed, just need to dry and iron a few bits.

Greenbee - I do try, in fact one of my new years resolutions is to try a bit harder!

Rach - happy birthday hun, did you go for the wii fit as a present?

SSL I've pm'd you

Jennybee - I used Motherease nappies and wraps with homemade fleece liners. I think the nappies fit all sizes but I had to get a second set of wraps when the baby was a lot bigger - maybe about a year.

I need to find my list and also need to

Wash all boots/shoes

make some krispie cakes
DS3 homework and reading

b***** it is bleeping and I cannot find it...

I have a dictionary of surnames and it tells you the distribution. The one I have now is Old English (son of Wilkin) common (and lots of Wilkins had sons...)

good grief

DS used my hairdryer to dry clothesand has blown it up or overheated it...Either way changing the fuse hasn't worked. :rolleyes:

Kids have been squabbling like squabbling kids ever since we got back from football - morning match.

Good news though is that DS took a corner - got it on target (again:rolleyes:) and this time they got it into the goal. The result was 3-3. But there was an awful incident in which our goalie had made a save, was on the floor holding the ball (as you do) and one of their players stamped on his head THEN their parents said out goalie should be off as he had a head injury...it was absolutely awful. Lot of bad play on their part - pulling and holding too.

I have loads of washing/drying to do.

DD made herself a meal - noodles and BURNT them:mad: while I was out. By some miracle I still have a kitchen - then DS made another meal in another pan while I had my bath. 4 pans to wash grrr:mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad:

Ah well onwards and upwards. Suppose I had better find something to eat.
