    Lenny - we've got a blackout blind for Evie's room mainly because her bedroom overlooks the BT sub-station which has a security light that shines directly into her room from dusk until dawn. (it's so bright, we left the door to her room open and left our bedroom door ajar and thought we'd left the landing light on one night)!

    I was born in July and my parents have always commented that I would only sleep during darkness, so summer was a nightmare!

    Hello peeps. Just caught up the chat. Would have been on earlier but t'internet wouldn't connect for some reason:confused: did the old turn it off turn it on trick et voila!

    Morten Harket - ooo yum - can I play too please [swoon]

    Curry - I add potatoes/mushrooms/tomatoes/spinach to flesh it out and to add veggies to the meal but if I'm freezing it or making a bulk batch I don't put in mushrooms/tomatoes/spinach until after its been portioned up for the freezer cos they go funny. I bung them in when I'm reheating the defrosted batch and when they are cooked (esp mushrooms) I know the curry has definitely been cooked enough;)

    Jade Goody et celebredom - I can understand selling her story to secure her kids' future (I hope she has a good lawyer who will keep the OH's mitts off it) but what about personal dignity. If you don't show respect for yourself, how can you expect others to?

    Didn't sleep so great last night - dreamt that pregnancy was a big cover up and that I actually have terminal cancer, my EDD is the day I will die and Bean is the tumour...:eek: Roll on Friday for a repeat performance...:cool:

  • just caught up......

    with regards to Jade, I think what is happening is tragic, at such a young age. I've been following the story, quietly from the sidelines over on Digital Spy and you would not believe the venom, hate and anger there is for 1 individual human being on that site. I personally think that she is now only doing what she knows how to do - live her life in the media, almost as if she feels she might be forgotten about if she retreats into privacy. I also think marrying Jack is a bad move. Where is Jeff Brazier in all this? Is he keeping a respectful silence? Has work gone on behind the scenes for arrangements after Jade is gone? Has he even been approached? Or, he doesn't want to be involved in any way, even as a father (which would be appalling, but a possibility).

    I also think if she decided to try to re-gain some privacy there would be a huge amount of teeth gnashing from magazine editors, photographers, TV production companies who are making a lot of money out of her and even though I don't think she would say 'that's enough' to them all, I don't think they would let her - too much money involved. It's become a feeding frenzy and also now there is the whole issue of society becoming more and more hooked on things which really shouldn't be dragged into the public domain just for the sake of cash.

    She has made huge amounts of money and I was quite shocked to see Tweedy now getting on the band wagon with 'exclusive' interviews in a magazine (OK or Hello, can't remember). She doesn't need more money but perhaps something in her mind can't come to terms with that. She will also be guided a great deal by Max Clifford and her other advisors who could well be 'advising' her on the way to deal with the events rapidly unfolding.

    Unless there is someone to give a huge amount of protection and respect to the kids, they are in for a hell of a bumpy ride as they grow up and the media then want to start milking them for being her children. There's also the legacy of the media reporting over the last 12 months or so to contend with that they will get to read as they grow up and will have to deal with all the different ways Jade has been portrayed and who they believe was the real 'Mum' to them.

    El - i agree with what you say... society is going to the dogs!!
    As a former Admiral said to me about the Navy being in a bad way

    'Son, every generation of sailors has said that the Navy is going to the dogs and we haven't done badly. I think the time to worry would be when the Navy isnt going to the dogs'

    Perhaps the same could be said for society?
