    Best wishes to your daughter for her China trip. How exciting!!!!!!!
    I learned that courage was not the absence of fear, but the triumph over it. The brave man is not he who does not feel afraid, but he who conquers that fear.

    Thanks scrooge - she has just left for the train station, and is very much looking forward to the whole thing!

    Scratches done - only 10p, and nothing unexpected in the banking, which is just as well, because there is nothing in there to cope with the unexpected!

    And more coffee made.....:o

    It only seems five mins ago that it was summer - now it feels distinctly wintery! It is 7am and still pitch dark outside :rolleyes: I know the clocks go back this weekend, but even so - how quickly things change!

    They fly back next Thursday - so only a week really.

    It's still dark here - looks like we might be in for a gloomy day!

    Aww, she'll have a fantastic time - do you remember when you thought swine flu would nobble her just as she arrived? I'd say she's got away with it. I wonder what route the plane is taking..... (thinking of those live maps on the back of the seat in front...).

    Hypno, love the overpayment plan - that really does hark back to "proving your worth" doesn't it.

    Yes beanie, it is quiet - everyone has deserted us in favour of having a life, I reckon :rotfl:

    DS is doing two paper rounds this week, as he is covering a friend who is on a school trip......and will be covering DD's weekend round too - so he got doubly wet this morning! I did remind him that he won't mind HOW wet he gets when he gets double money at the end of the week!
