    glad you've got some options

    Oh well I chased up pension refunds today - from my job that finished in March and one that finished a couple of years ago! Got £1500+ coming back from one and £130 coming back from the other so that should help cushion things for us a while longer....

  • Just checked my Itunes (don't have too much on it). I am listening to Wham - I'm your Man (was a massive Wham fan in the 80s). I also have Tears for Fears Everybody Wants to Rule the World (I love this song). I have Beautiful Day by U2, reminds me of my Tour of Hawaii in Sept 2001 that was the song they played on the coach evertime we set off somewhere.

    I also have some songs from Hairspray.

    I have Chesney on my Ipod too :o

    I'll think more about tunes specific as Paper Hat Gang anthems but for a cheesey start point "Nothing's Going to Stop Us Now" by Starship seems pertinent :D
