    I think that the jury is out on this one.

    I think Labour will try to hang on. I just have a feeling that there may well be some unexpected twists and turns.

    We shall see. I just have a feeling of doom and foreboding(just call me eyeore!)


    Mark has gone back to bed for a couple of hours. He wants calling at 3 am now (unless the action hots up of course)

    Aw well.

    Eeyore! That made me laugh. I've just phoned my Mark, and he couldn't believe I am still awake, he thought I'd collapse in a heap. I'm not saying it will work, but I think he will try and hang on by his fingernails. There must be a lot of feelers out behing the scenes just now. It's looking as if Scotland might not have and Tories at all. I think Labour have won so many seats here, and raised their vote in so many places because of the "Keep the tories out" votes.

    Ooh good idea Jackie.

    Think I was premature with Brighton's result-don't think it's in yet. I voted Green for the local election-think they can actually do something useful for the community, plus no lib-dem candidate inthe local.

    I have a Green poster in my window - confusing everyone as we have no Green candidate :)

    Do you know what I think Annie? I think we will get a hung parliament and Mr Brown will go to the LibDems to form a coalition.

    My thoughts, too :)

    Hello all, not sure if it is morning or evening.

    Really enjoying the suspense. My area due to be declared about 3ish (not an important one).

    I'm even doing a bit of flying and tidying away the cups and glasses whilst watching.

    I feel 1,000 years old.

    Have been consoling myself by watching Donkey Cam which always cheers me up.

    Its one step forward and three back.:(:(:(:(


    Finding solace in food!:D

    I'm even doing a bit of flying and tidying away the cups and glasses whilst watching. Now that's just not cricket!

    Welcome Dustykitten. I don't know when it is, actually! I do know that all the PTA jobs I have to do tomorrow will be awful after staying upp most of the night.

    Ooh William Hague's on, blees him, he's a wee leprechaun! That voice cracks me up. Not very political or nice, but it's my gut instinct. Can't imagine him whispering sweet nothings! Lembit Opik is not a haapy man, more of a cheeky boy!

    Big hug for Anniestar. Recount in Birmingham, is that exciting enough for you?
