    Wol, with what you've personally achieved through all of this, one thing is for sure.....you'll give a good account of yourself whatever the outcome...give 'em socks gal ;):D

    Blimey Wol.

    Hope the meetingwith the MP went well - and the power suit looked fab :D

    I know the insurance situation looks even more dire from what you describe ... but politically, I don't think the coalition will let that happen, that thousands/millions of properties are literally uninsurable - when its a question of a few isolated hilltops falling into the sea, yes, they do just laissez-faire, but this will be lots of ordinary voters *and* lots of rich people - little semis scrunched into flood plain developments, and nice big houses built near streams, I can't believe they'll let it come to that. I appreciate its coming closer tho, so I don't blame you for preparing for the worst :(

    Stay with it (((((Wol)))))))))

    Hmmm...what can I say about the last few days......

    Carp.......

    MP limited in his positivity..pants....but would have got away with it until he said at the end "at least you;re still smiling"....then, dear reader, who cares about the pants......I just wanted to smash his face in. :rotfl::rotfl:

    Still it opened up some understanding as to why I still want to beat myself up over everything as though it's something I should be able to prevent..NOT!!!

    Yeah I know....contrary to my current psyche......IT'S NOT MY FAULT!!

    Hmmmmm.....Not all bad...some positive thingumybits.....More tomorrow.

    Oh Wol ... I'd have wanted to kill him, I absolutely would. In fact, if people do that cheery thing to me when its a genuine downer (as opposed to, I need a cup of coffee), I'm quite liable to say something - I try to keep it polite, but I simply won't accept that.

    Other than that, I agree with Z, on everything - Chev has a reason to be posting at 4am

    **waves at Chev**

    but for you to be doing it is *really* not a good idea.

    Lots and lots of hugs.
