    Morning,

    See if i can manage another star today.

    Hope everyone is ok, thanks for the update on toots jjef and ssl.

    Need to see if i can find my polling card, i have no idea who to vote for! They all seem to be as bad as each other.
    Now where is my list...

    DS and DiL are off to the mortgage people this morning so vibes please that they get a suitable offer.

    :T:T:T
    Totally agree.
    I know some people choose not to vote and they have that right, but I get really annoyed with those who 'have no time'. The Polling Stations are local and open ALL day.

    Positive vibes for your DS and DiL (and you:rotfl:)

    Remember you DO NOT need a polling card to vote..so for all those of you who put things in a safe place and 'lose' them - like polling cards LOL as long as you know which polling station you attend you can go vote!
    (I did a few sessions as a clerk there when I was otherwise unemployed - all legal and above board so I am well versed in election law as I had to be trained and sworn in... - as long as you are on the register and give your name and address you will be fine - I never take my card because I know I don't need to! And because of my devilish streak muhahaha)

    Anybody want a HHC?- I've started!
