Here you go soappie you can have a moan at me - I have done too much:rolleyes::rolleyes: I admit it!!! Since my last post I emptied the fridge and cleaned it all even had the shelves out - then moved it back into the kitchen - that wasnt the hard bit - the hard bit was re-connecting the plug in behind - the space is smaller now and even thought its just a couple of inches narrower the fridge is a tight fit and the plug is in a dreadful place BUT I improvised (eventually) and its all done and everything is back in the fridge - I am pooped! So have a moan at me and then I will give you a kick!!

RoseP - thanks for the hug
SarahSh - yes, it's sooooo early 1980s is Laurie Anderson etc. but good to listen to again (I think!)
Frodders - thanks for the links - I liked the first one, but the second one didn't do much
Toots - I will NEVER moan at you - you are doing admirably.
You will be pleased to know (I hope!) that equilibrium has been restored. I decided to up the ante on the songs and have just listened to:- Midnight Oil's "Beds are Burning"
- Adam and the Ants "Prince Charming" (though that reminded me of the time DD went to a party a couple of years ago and one of the Adam and the Ants band members was there,high as a kite, down on his uppers and living in bedsit land - how the might are fallen!)
- Reel Big Fish - the F off song
- Noah and the Whale - 5 years time.
- Ian Drury etc - sex and drugs and rock and roll
- The 'there's noone as irish as Barack Obama' song
I am the leading lady in the movie of my life
