    15 minutes before the deadline!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    AND my friend who got home from the hospital last night with her twins signed my form so I got to cuddle a teeny tiny newborn. Plenty of baby cuddles the last couple of days, this is wonderful for me. I love it!

    Although she did ask me when they start sleeping through the night. If she hadn't looked so woebegone I'd have laughed at her, but I changed the subject instead.

    Susan, you ever heard of Alice's Bear Shop?
    No - is it a book?
    Arrgghh - is anybody else having trouble with MSE?

    Driving me nuts!!
    I just figured it was my computer running slowly.
    Read the manifestos, listen to the debates and go with whoever ticks the most boxes for you.
    I've e-mailed all (but one) of my candidates with a series of questions. I've had one reply so far which begins as follows: "You pose a number of questions which would, I'm sure you would agree, take an essay each to answer with care and precision. That isn't possible with the number of emails I receive but I will attempt honestly to answer your questions." He gave two cop out answers and one satisfactory (party line) answer. I do find it hard to believe that someone who replies within four hours doesn't have time to write a detailed reply though.

    I quite like voting, I like to annoy the party members who are at the polling stations :D

    'Why should I vote for you?' 'Will you kill all Zombies?' 'Do you beleive in the Zombie Threat?' (I'm joking btw, well, a little)

    agree with Caz :rotfl:

    See thats what I think buttons, one of the questions was something like do you think if someone not born in this country commits a crime they should be deported, well its not really a yes or no question is it, are they going to deport a 60 year old granny thats lived here for 55 years cos she shoplifted a packet of sweets? I knew I shouldnt have bothered looking and just let OH sort it all out for me :o

    Seth is doing my swede in today, he keeps pulling out the drawer on the tv unit and standing in it, but then tried to crawl out and obviously thats going to hurt, dragging your legs over a hard edged bit of wood, cue massive squinnies and a quick mummy cuddle (dont want to make too much fuss of him doing a booboo ;)) and the little sod just goes straight back over and does it again! Silly boy.

    Glam, we are cows milk only now, but thank you anyway xx huge DOH at passing them on to me and then using it anyway!! They might have expired by now though, you never now!

    Well any vote that is not for one of the 2 parties that could possibly get in is a complete waste of a vote so you may as well not bother.. it has only been a 2 horse race for the last 100 years.. it is no different this time!!

    Gordon Brown is pig ugly and Cameron is just too sleazy.. couple of years we will be hearing all about his sordid little affairs with his secretaries!.. At least that won't happen with Brown lol.. *shudders at the thought*

    But your MP can still make a difference even if they are not from one of the two main parties.

    And I thought Gordon Brown's wife did used to be his secretary but maybe I imagined it.

    This time I think you might be wrong pigpen - I suspect this time it's a three horse race.

    I've just done the voteforpolicies survey and it gave me the party I was planning to vote for anyway, although a third of my policies are in line with the Green Party.

    Surprised it wasn't more, actually.
