Just spent far too long watching David Tennant in Hamlet. I don't remember 'doing' Hamlet at school, but there are huge chunks of it I know by heart. I would have loved to see the RSC production, but I think the tickets all sold in about five minutes....Really pleased they filmed a TV version.
.

I watched it too. Don't usually like 'modern dress' versions of Shakespeare but I thought this one was brilliant.

I have a fabulous download of office 2007.. it is about £300 to buy (If you want gimme a yell and I'll fling it at you.. student versions are about £40 and would no doubt do all DH needs it to.. I think I have a link for it still somewhere.). There is a version you can download called open office which is free and legal but cannot be used by companies etc but does open office files. Star office is absolute pile of poop .. and I won't have it on a disc in the house let alone on a machine.

Mudbath Mashed is one of those games you may be able to pick up again second hand quite cheaply, there is a few on ebay for about £5, £2.99 on the site for a shop I use (local ish) http://www.graingergames.co.uk/default.asp?gg=PT1070 I just checked but it isn't one we have or would have sent you it.
toochoosey - I agree Open Office is ok, I use it on here. Think rach told me about it. You could use the dongle on his.
serena yes we did thank you, better than I thought, hope you all did too

Another WM, TD and DW load in, wondering when I will get it all finished....never ending! Got 4 bin bags in the kitchen of rubbish, bones etc, don't want to put them outside incase cats get in them so will put them in garage tomorrow as bins not emptied, feel awful that I filled my neighbours bin with their permission Considering buying DS2 a new DS lite for his birthday in January, will see if he would like one first....£69.99 if I use the £30 off code for new customers on very.co.uk (was Littlewoods) hmmm....

Meeting friends for lunch tomorrow, I have some gift vouchers usable there which is handy. Oh I must check to see what deals I want to use my Tesco coupons for that end in Jan, stopped using the supermarket & just used for fuel when we have been away so not loads but would rather use them.

yep - I just suggested to DH that we should take them down before we go away on 29th as I'd rather not have to do it when we get back!

soappie - i know i need to chill about it, and mainly I am, I just hate things being out of my control!! :rolleyes:
