    Apparently there was no problems in getting to Spain or France. Sis went from India to Dubai to France and met loads of people heading to Spain to get a boat !!

    That's interesting, MM; someone I work with was stuck in Moscow since last Thursday - lots of visa issues so this morning they flew to Bahrain. They now can't get a flight to the UK or France before next Wednesday! So sister did relatively well I guess :p

    I've always taken Erin with me to give blood over the years. There's special stickers they get saying 'my Mum gave blood today'. And she likes the cakes.
    That's good. Alice loves stickers.

    i'd encourage people to donate platelets. It's dead easy and doesn't have the unpleasant side effects of gving blood if that puts u off.

    Elle, thx for asking. Yes, it's an internal role that's basically a promotion. Think it will b really weird, as i hate interviews at the best of times, but it's my current boss and all the questions are going to be about stuff he full well knows the answer to! Hazards of a small organisation, i suppose. No idea if this will all turn out how i want, but i kinda figure it can't hurt to try (and the worst that can happen is i go back to my old job).

    Searching, my last 4 lessons were spectacularly bad, my instructor hinted that I should postpone my test, but I passed anyway. My first successful reverse round a corner was on my test!
