Hello :hello:
I'm back from a weekend away so much to read :eek: such an amazing amount has happened :beer:

I'll forget loads but:

Claire - lol at the wires - but obviously meant to be The ear-rings are gorgeous, and caused me to complete my on-line order :D. Don't worry about speed, I'll get them when I return 23/11. Please note that it is Katha Day Care, not Kappa :rotfl:

MG - :eek::T at raising the air fares. I worried a lot while I was away about that, and all I came up with was two collections at the web-site launch party on 13th November, one for the Day Centre as planned and one for K4K......but you'll have it all sorted by tomorrow?????

Who said Duoboots? I've book-marked that site for next June (your sales, my winter :rotfl:)

!!!!!! :eek::eek::eek: That is SO wrong :rotfl:

Lisa-Mike- you may notice a similarity between K4K's logo and some of the publicity for the football film.......:o We're looking forward to seeing that film when it comes here.

I can't log in to the private club I wonder if OliveOyl differs from how you've set me up? I c&p'd the password.......

Got to go just now (local phrase :cool:) Popeye is waiting to be collected as I had the car today to go to the Orphanage - I'll update you on my return I hope.......
:A

I missed the 100 day challenge as well......but if I work it out right it's 67 days until the end of the year so that's my challenge, 67 days to get off my backside and DO SOMETHING and celebrating that SOMETHING on new years eve (preferably with SOMEONE!)

:rotfl:

I'm another one affected by the increase in retirement age (I'm 54) and I'm mad about it too! And I also walked out of my job last January, but I took early retirement which along with a widows pension is just enough to live on. Trouble is like a few others on here I have absolutely no idea what to do with the rest of my life, I just knew what I had been doing for the last 21 years wasn't what I wanted to do any longer.

But you are an inspiring bunch and I'm hoping some inspiration will rub off on me (so forgive me for lurking)

Presumably the then current pension age was part of your calculations and decision to take early retirement, so you have a right to be mad about it too!! But I think we're from a group not used to causing a fuss, maybe we need advice on the thread on how to do so, currently we're being walked over and ignored.

Just wish there was a simple petition or something we could join in on just to register the mess they've put us in.

The news today that they're now thinking of rejigging everything from contributions to residency, just increases the uncertainty, what on earth do they mean by that!!

Sorry, when it's mentioned it gets me into rant mode, if there was something I could do to help get my and other voices heard would at least make me feel like I was doing something positive rather than negative.

If you find any petition please let me know , I feel it has been largely ignored by the media

Just had a look at how to 'create a petition', and it looks like at the moment you can't, I get this:

"With a new Government in place a review is taking place of online services, including e-petitions. We are committed to improving the e-petitions process and are looking at ways of ensuring that it functions as part of a cohesive approach to public debate and transparent government. A full announcement on how we plan to use these and other services across Government will be made as soon as this important work is completed.
Existing e-petitions, submitted to the previous administration, will not be carried forward to the new administration as part of this process. E-petitions that were live at the time of the election announcement on 6 April, when the e-petitions system was suspended, will therefore not be reopened for signatures. We are issuing responses to petitions that had exceeded the 500 signatures threshold as of 6 April 2010 and these can be viewed on the HMG e-petitions responses page.
We will welcome resubmission on issues of concern to the improved e-petitions system when it is launched later in 2010. "

Any other ideas, as currently their idea of improving it is to stop it working completely for a while? Or maybe they know too many people would be creating petitions given what they're doing, sorry if I'm being a bit cynical.

If you want to know how to express irritation with the government, do what the French do and shut the country down.
