    There you go!!!
    That's made it worse! I'm definately going to have to go out to a shop now! I think I deserve it after two football matches and Ant and Dec on later. Still DH isn't all bad, he's done a big cookup today - lemony chicken and coq au vin, so all our meals are sorted for a few days!

    Thanks Penny - Dickie was Jude Law...

    I'll have to read the book now. The radio play covers more than the film - is it truer to the book?

    There are 5 books in the [URL="hthttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Talented_Mr._Ripleytp://"]Ripliad[/URL], of which The Talented Mr R is the first ;) AFAIK, the Saturday Play will dramatise one a week from last week :T

    Hi flyers

    Been busy all day but zero flying done.

    I've done my mystery shop (must remember to upload results soon)
    Been out to lunch for DS1 birthday
    Got the microwave for Nan - thanks again for all the advise
    Been to visit Nan

    I really need to do a HHC to find the kitchen to make the icing for DS cake. DS1 and DS3 at cricket nets but DS2 too tired from being ill all week to go (he did come and visit with Grandma, bless him).

    Serena hugs for your DD and I'm sorry to hear she has taken unwell again.

    I have received 7 emails today offering to help me with nights of passion - why oh why do these things happen.

    Flower - D HAVE had their firm letter already. It was their 'it's not our fault' reply which set me off. I will write to the ombudsman but the procedure is you have to complain, formally, to the institution with whom you have a problem first...you must attempt to resolve it with them and only then can you go to the ombudsman. I am sure the O. will be most interested in their letter to me, which I will, of course, copy and send. I am a dab hand at formal complaints:cool:

    I thought you would be some how! ;):D
    Good luck with it all...

    Toots did I read you were a breastfeeding counsellor? What a very cool and lovely thing to do.
