I don't know if anyone else is interested but I found a children's short story competition on the competition thread being done by Nestle Munch Bunch- you just have to write an original children’s story, of your own creation, between 600-800 words, which begins with the opening line:

“Once upon a Munch Time, there was a cow called Munch…”
£1000 cash prize and ten £500 regional prizes.
One of us may be lucky!

I would but it says comments closed, or am I looking in the wrong place. Your jewellery is very nice. My brother in law is geting married next year so I'll tell his girlfriend to have a look at your site.
Who hosts your blog? I'm just using the free one from google so my choice in template etc is very limited.

When I looked before it wouldn't let me - or I would have done too!! (thought it was me being silly!)

I won't be entering but it did remind me of recently when we had our little boy in for his 3 month injections. I was sitting in the waiting room with my daughter while my wife took him in and to keep her entertained I made up a story about a princess and two old ladies who visited a castle where there lived a king, a prince and a gatekeeper and they all fell in love and got married. It was much longer than this but that was the jist.
When I had finished telling the story, a woman sitting in the waiting room next to us, got up and said that it was a brilliant story and that she had only stayed to hear the end of it and then off she went, she had already seen the doctor. pmsl.:rotfl:
I couldn't believe it.

Awww, that's so nice
Almost entered the Dave thing just to see if I got anywhere, but I don't fancy sending a video of myself and I've got no video equipment anyway.

Will probably enter the Munch Bunch competition if I remember, huge amount of time before the deadline so no excuse not too really...

Still no news from the course, which has made me anxious. No news from anywhere really, and no deliveries either. Sucky

I'm hvaing a stressed out about money day. Caused by checking our account this morning nad realising that even on a month with no council tax, hubby STIll ha managed to take us further into our overdraft. We are so near the end of the overdraft I know it cna't go on and he just seems utterly incapabale of living within a budget.

What's getting me is that I KNOW I am sitting in the money that could have us living debt free!

Our flat is worth at least £20,000 more than our mortgage. And I've seen flats which are in a much worse area of town but where I grew up, and I KNOW the area well and they are cheaper than our mortgage now. So theoretically we could sell this flat, make £20,000 profit, use that to clear out debts and buy a cheaper flat which is twice as big as this one (so we wouldn't be cramped with stuff and I could have an actual room to do my art in, instead of in the living room). But will hubby consider it? Noooooooooooo. He just says "It's something to consider if things get bad". uh? it already is bad.
