    Oh I'm glad there's someone else here... I was camping out in the skip for about ten days until I realised I'd written the day on the wrong month in my diary. Since then I've been curled up behind the ironing board admittedly absolutely terrified to come out because I thought I could hear a monster behind the sofa.

    For future reference, fairy cakes make less scary noises than crisps.

    May I stretch my legs for a minute? Someone keep a lookout!

    You stretch your legs Miggy. I've been watching the extradition police so I now know how to man a hideout (or woman one indeed!)

    I'm tired and a bit scared, and electrical equipment is dying which is never good. Applying for a job next week and HAVE to get it or something soon. Work experience starts on the 31st for a month but really need a job!

    Never mind, alledgedly on Saturday when I have a memorial service to go to, the rapture will happen which means a few select people will be lifted up and the rest of us will be dealing with ruined crops and raining frogs for eternity. Hope the vicar who's conducting the service has planned for this :rotfl:

    p.s. The deceased has left a tab for us at his favourite bar so I guess we'll dodge the frogs and retreat to the bar.

    Aw Butti - this is not good! I hope the retreat to the bar helps make up for some of it. And how is the job hunt going?

    Congratulations Skintdragon! Your absence is excused for such a worthy cause. ;) I don't know what's been going on, really... chatting among ourselves since The Programme aired - did you get to see it? Mike has probably become a tourist attraction and one of the Mob is standing outside his door charging £3.50 (30p to Mob members) to all comers who wish to shake his hand and drink tea with him (extra half hour for a fiver).

    Hi Catflea :) nice to see you again, that will be 30p please. :D
