    Hello :hello:
    I'm back from a weekend away :o 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 :D The ear-rings are gorgeous, and caused me to complete my on-line order :D: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? :naughty: 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

    am I sending them to a uk address?

    will correct the day centre name in a minute

    My list of wants is erm erm erm.
    I'm not interested in climbing Mount Everest, just to achieve............................something..............!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!?
    To stop being indecisive, to stop hiding behind excuses, to gain a little courage. Not to be afraid of challenges, oh the list goes on.............. if you see what I'm getting at.

    Fantasia, I seriously believe that our wants are much more useful guide than our needs - when it come to it our needs do not separate us from the rest of the animal world. I control my spending very well (and without stress and feeling deprived) because of an exercise to figure out what I call 'protected wants'.

    As to doing something, it sound like you need something really mad - like: doing a pilgrimage; going to a flamenco dancing course; learning to do belly dancing (and performing in public); writing a stormy romantic novel (allowed to use the schema for that); colouring your hair royal purple; starting a commune...

    Well, throwing ideas around...

    I love this episode - they did not get lost; they found heaven.

    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.
    Thats pants (more lingerie lol).
    Seriously though, that is so not playing the game.

    OK - managed to get omn to new website on non-secure PC in work but will have to take netbook in to keep up @ lunchtimes.

    For the record - my 100 day challenge went t*ts up BUT

    I'm back at work
    I'm back to my old self & not a gibbering wreck
    I do feel motivated
    I am enthused about my work again
    I have so many thoughts buzzing round my head it's going to explode.

    So even if the 100 days itself was a failure for me the motivation it gave me was priceless.
