    Awwwww PP it's soooo nice to have ya back:j we've all missed ya loads. Mr PP has been quite popular on the boards. I've done my best to protect his innocence and at one point had to beat some of the more 'forward madams' off with a stick :D (PM me if you need their names and you can sort them out later. LOL)

    Wasn't me!

    AussieLass, you are right! MATH is a tittle tattle.

    Was he beating the "forward madams" off or was he was trying to intercept them!

    Can I come to the Aussie meet too? I want to see a Kanga and a Roo icon7.gif
    My first reply was witty and intellectual but I lost it so you got this one instead :D

    AussieLass, thank you for your warm wishes. I had a lousy evening too, and have been terribly tearful. It's like the tidal gates have opened. On the bright side I've been invited over to Sardina for Easter by my friend who lives there. I think I should go, even if I do have half a ton of college work to do. It's all a bit too much at the moment anyway, would be good to get the books beyond reach - if I don't get up in the middle of the night to blub then I'm inevitably up at 3.00 am reading a history or English book. My friend has been through a totally bitter divorce, and while her circumstances are v.different to mine her life isn't perfect either, we can b*tch and b*tch and get as much out as we possibly can. I think it would be quite cathartic for both of us. I just have to persuade evil manager to let me have the time off, easier said than done.

    Happy April Fool's Day to you too AussieLass. I've got six leprechauns sitting on my windowsill and they are doing Riverdance. I'll say hello to them on your behalf if you go and give the roo on your lawn a big cuddle from me....:p:D

    Think the wine is hitting the spot now...

    VickyA Would you like me to pick you up. As soon as I get hold of a helicopter I have to pick up rzl to help me pack. I might as well get u 2.

    I'ts April Fool's day today. :D I will get DD when she wakes up. I'm just having a cuppa. I have a date with my kitchen this morning & then will keep to the packing so very exciting day here in aussieland. I also need to iron. Boring. Off to Mass tonight. DD should get back sometime later in the night. Around 9ish. It's a lovely day outside from my office window. Blue skys, where my computer is I look out the window. There is a great big kangaroo sitting on my footpath. How beautiful. ;) it's even got a joey in it's pouch. Ooooooooooooooooh

    Whereabouts is Sardina? I think you should go. I asked the kangaroo and he's nodding - so he thinks you shoud go too. :D

    It's nice to get away for a few days and get your life into perspective. There usually is so many positive aspects to your life that sometimes the knocks clouds them over. Well they do me, I try and keep upbeat about things most times but I tend to dig myself a hole that takes a bit to get out of. I love riverdance? Did you learn to do it?

    Hi AussieLass

    Sardina - it's an island off the coast of Italy, quite a biggish island as islands, though teeny weeny compared to Australia, about a fifth the size of Tazmania. That's quite a wise old kangaroo you've got out there! I didn't learn Riverdance, though I did see the original show when it first opened in London (used to live there). My sis saw it in Dublin and she was sat behind U2's Bono and one of the other band members whose name I can't remember. The local kiddie winkies are all Irish dancing mad - there are regular competitions, and they are so over-subscribed they sometimes start at 5.30 in the morning...now that is dedication don't you think!

    I will run the Sardinia plan past evil manager on Monday, maybe she'll let me have time off the week after Easter as I think just about everyone else in the office has already booked that week. I know I need to get my life sorted out - thought I was doing a good thing when I left England, but I am a square peg in a round hole over here in Ireland.

    It's been fun hearing about your plans to move to Scotland. Estate agents are a unique breed, there is a certain trait that crosses all international boundaries I suspect. May I suggest you invest in a number of warm jumpers and thick woolly socks before you arrive in Scotland. It's kinda chilly there....

    I suspect that TM is REVOLTING:D I mean out taking part in a revolt:rotfl: Isn't Condelesa Rice (sp) visiting her neck of the wood today? I will be scouring the news footage of the visit tonight for a moonboot wearing, tough old bird sporting a safety pin and dragging a wally trolly loaded with bogoff in the background. If anyone spots her PM me!
