    John Prescott is a fabulous guy.. honestly.. he is sensible, practical, down-to-earth and alarmingly normal!!

    Local MP's make no difference.. the local councillors can but only becaus ethey influence where the local budget is being spent.. in which case the LD's are total morons!

    And they may like to try to convince us there are 3 with a chance.. in the real world that isn't true.

    Apparently in Australia you can get fined for not voting.

    Aless - i'm up for meeting at ikea (always i can pick you up on route:)) just depends on the day! Can't do fri or mon.

    I get paid on Monday so any day is good after that! Can't do Tues - how about Weds Thursday? A lift is always good but it's not too much faff for me to get to so don't worry if you can't. Aless - am I imagining it or do you live Streatham way, you can get the tram from mitcham junction and I think there are quite a few trains from there to Mitcham Junction.

    Liking those voting tools, backed up what I was thinking - although a bit disturbed that I have quite a high result for the BNP :eek:

    Yup can get a train to Mitcham Junc but involves changing. DH's work is a bit off kitler at the moment so won't wait to see what's going on with him. Jenny, you around? Weds/Thurs are good for me.

    :rotfl: The Guardian is liveblogging - they have a journalist accompanying the Liverpool football team from Liverpool to Madrid. By train.

    Apparently they organised a bus from Euston to St. Pancras and it took sixteen minutes :rotfl:

    Hello,

    I've not been around for a couple of days. We had the family round on Sunday for Katies birthday and she had a fabulous time - I have loads of leftover though!

    Yesterday I was just recovering from it all.

    Hugs, well done and congraulations all round, I've not bothered catching up, bar the last page.

    I always vote, it's a 2 minute walk to our polling station, but I really don't know who to go for this year as they all seem as bad as each other.

    DH has gone into work the last 2 days instead of using his leave, we're living by new bulletins at the moment.

    I'm off to donate some blood in a bit, fingers crossed DH gets home in time (he's on his way).
    Proud to be dealing with my debts
    DD Katie born April 2007!
    3 years 9 months and proud of it
    dreams do come true (eventually!)
