    egon - are you planning emigrating to NZ then - have a great day out.

    toochoosey - well done you for doing the Race for Life - you had better get training - or are you a fit lady already??

    I think I will head off to bed - this hour less in bed is going to throw me I think so will try to combat it a bit.

    catch you all in the morning - sleep well and hugs all round
    toots xx
    Peace will be mine

    There's a spare bed here too for anyone who fancies a trip to the coast.

    And talking of beds, I'm off to mine - early start tomorrow!

    Night all, sleep well x

    Greenbee - I'd be interested in knowing the stats stuff from your work on Monday ;)

    Might be a bit difficult (seeing as the data is confidential)... but I'll certainly let you know the gist of it. Let's just say it's been busy than the average saturday night for national grid and the power station operators, but at least it keeps them awake!

    Hopefully there'll be some useful info on the news and the Earth Hour website...

    ... anyway, must deal with the laundry and get my bed made... oh yes, and change the clocks!

    Toots, Thanks, but not fit, a smoker and a drinker I'm afraid, but OH lost both his parents within 2 days, 2 years ago, both to Cancer and I have always wanted to raise some thing in their memory. As you know it is a cruel disease....anyway, nearly crying now.

    I am with slimming world to lose a bit(food-wise) so exercise is also needed

    Oh by the way, obviously I will be consultant on this epic and it will be VERY necessary for me to liaise with Messrs Depp and Clooney and explain the intricacies of peg matching to them both (separately!) in order to enhance (erm) the artistic nature and general Fly-ness of this mega epic...and top ensure things are [strike]inserted[/strike] put where they should be!

    Evening you lovely people, thought I had better pop a post on just to let you all know I haven't disappeared - honest! I have had DH home all week and he has made me rest, funnily enough this resting has made me sleep all the blooming time:mad: I hadn't done any housework until today, and hadn't read any posts on MSE :(

    At the moment I am writing this while DH is snoring next to me in bed - oh the joys of a lappy lol.

    I have two ironing piles now, the first one started to topple over so I created another one which is now getting dangerously high :( One good thing though I have now got three different sized willow laundry baskets, one outside the bathroom for everyday clothes, the bigger of the three is on the middle landing stair, which is used for duvets and towels, and I haven't found a use for the smaller one yet. But it now means that the laundery waiting to be washed isn't scattered all over the place and every day all I have to do is just take one of the baskets to the kitchen to do the washing from. Hopefully this will make it much easier for me - fingers crossed..lol

    Good news with the regards to the pains they have finally gone, although I did get a twinge this afternoon when I was helping hubby lift something from his back bedroom. When will I learn!! Now I am starting to feel depressed and tired. Unfortunately I missed a couple of days of my "happy pills" and mood stabilisers this week and it is noticing :( I have managed to put on half a stone from nowhere since these darn pains started and it is making me even more depressed as I feel fat and frumpy now.. I seem to be on one of my "low" times, still being on a good sprial never lasts long with me :mad:

    I haven't read the thread through so I don't know who has done what, had what etc..but *hugs* to everyone and "happy birthday" to anyone who's birthdays I have missed.

    Won't be around to gossip much tomorrow as we are heading off out to one of DH's relatives for a meal out, not looking forward to it as I don't particularly feel very sociable at the moment. But hey ho it's someone else cooking which is one good thing..lol. Hopefully we will be back before teatime so I can log on then and catch up with everyone..

    Also if I can cadge the money for petrol off of DH then can I join you for the Southern Meet on the 4th :) Bearing in mind I am extremely shy and this is a big thing for me as I don't do well meeting up with new people or going to new places..maybe I can bribe DH to come along and drop me off then he can disappear for a while..lol

    Nice one Natty - actually could just see Jennifer Saunders as Greenbee too! :rotfl:
    the Cameron Diaz as me comes from a school residential where we did this, and we had two male parent governors with us. I was most put out when, after suggesting Miss Diaz would play your very own Valli one of the PG governors said that if SHE was going to be in the film he would play himself LOL!
    have edited my earlier post to incorporate your suggestion/inspiration!
