    no

    I want some

    cos when DS has them in his hand they commit hari kiri

    he CLAIMS he doesn't fiddle with them - well he does, but by subterfuge because one minute he's holding them and the next they have disintegrated and he claims to know NOTHING about it - and ironically I have watched him and he appears NOT to fiddle and they still self destruct....
    and I LOVE stationers...I can spend HOURS in staples etc...and my heart leapt with joy when a Paperchase opened in Meadowhall (near W H Smiths ;)) because until then I had only seen their wares in magazines...

    Oh I forgot I gave in last week, highlighter pens, mini weeny ones, spotted them at a course we were on & had to buy them. Sticky labels...post its :mad: the kids know they aren't allowed to touch them, post its which are planners etc they are nice....coloured dots I stick in my course books to label things & these little reference tabs which are great. Asda has like a mini staples....but cheaper. £1 shop is good too.

    ***wanders off to dream of a free staples trolley dash***while clicking a pen which is what I do in meetings when stressed/nervous/thinking so have to take a pencil or people moan :rotfl:

    Oh… no flying done today. Just got from work, went to library with kids, then onto yoga class. Watched Desperate Housewives. I wish they had a FL theme going on….

    Tomorrow night should be free and my boss is away, so I will leave work on time and do some happy flying for Wed and Thur.

    Kazwookie, enjoy your trip to London. I hope you find'll your missing link.

    LameWolf, your post reminded me to do something tomorrow. (smear test) Thank you.

    Pigpen, what time do you kick your kids to bed? I am having a problem with mine. They fall asleep by 9.30, and are pain to wake up in the mornings. BTW, I also heard about allergy tests and that wheat could be a possible offender (some clever show on Radio 4)

    Mrs Chaos, positive vibes your way.

    OMG, Bree, what a day. I wish you a good night sleep.

    Rosepink, thanks to you, I know more than one work for a modem and a computer. Putter sounds funny. ‘ Hey, I am me putter, lurking over FL thread’. I am sending prayers to your poorly friend.

    Jinky, I don’t know what you are talking about (I got the part that you are leaving, but did not get the part as to why).. anyway…. it looks like FL people want you here. I am going to do a washing up and sink the oven grid in biological liquid in the bath over night. I devote this ceremony to you (since you suggested this method). Off I go then, to perform the magic...
