    Eeek! Two more work days until our trip to Paris, and nothing has been delivered yet. Talk about a nail biting finish, I will be having palpitations tomorrow. It would be okay if we weren't having to organise two other events as well in September in London Design Week, and a new website.

    OH is still working like a madman, he has had around 3 - 4 hours sleep each night for the last week. He told me last night 'Sleep is for losers' Hahaha! He is making a giant projection and using 12 computers to render it all out.

    Roll on enrollment day - 29 September - YAY!

    Excellent Cinny. Your dad is going to well annoyed when he finds out.

    I think he just used it as an excuse for a second breakfast.
    Thankfully my Brother was going to a job the other side of our town so managed to drop the keys off. I'm bloody useless!

    Has your mum softened her stance or is this a ploy?

    Dare you to ask for a house!

    Well last night what was *meant* to be simple hotdogs for him and my sister turned into 1 monster sausage + onion sandwich and 2 baps with bacon and egg... so you could say so.
    What's most annoying is he's loosing weight while eating like this!!

    Crikey! Sounds like she might be accepting it then? (or is that just wishful thinking?)

    Lara - Sounds manic in your house! Don't know how your OH is managing with all that work and only a few hours sleep. What's this about a trip to Paris?! Must be stressful with none of the stuff showing up yet.

    I hope its the former but I suspect that its the latter, I've contemplated asking her for one but I dont see her saying yes, so I may as well aim realistically.

    Where is the Queen of this thread this morning. She has been very quiet. Especially on the NIM Mother (soon to be MIL) related issue.

    I said we could ask for her being happy for us, but NIM thinks that is even less likely than the house.

    So. My Car. This morning it has decided the radio will no longer respond to any command, either on the radio or the steering wheel buttons, except 'on/off'. As a result it has eaten a CD, and will only play a LW radio station which is entirely in french. Not a happy bunny.
