    Well you just found your worse case scenario then ... anything else is better and the worse guarantees a roof, heat, schools for the kids, security of tenure etc etc therefore by the power of Kissjenn logic your future cannot involve being homeless.

    See - everything is fixable.

    According to Sky news he is dead, "Michael Jackson dies after being rushed to hospital in a coma after suffering a heart attack".

    Good luck with the coming days, I do hope yous get things sorted.

    Kip time - you need to be fresh for coming up with cutting questions and keeping OH on track during tomorrow's conf call.

    (Was that stern enough?)

    Hi,
    Just to say thinking of you and hope conference call goes well today. Wanted to put in dodgy hug but can't find that! Please be kind to yourself and try and rest - lack of sleep will just make it harder to think clearly. If cake doesnt work how about chocolate? Hope knowing we are all thinking of you and beaming positve vibes will help too.

    Take care,
    Maggie
