    I'm slacking off... too excited by my "sale" email... it's so exciting. I really love the buzz of seeing results from efforts as I am usually so distanced from the front end of the sales machine. I log onto Mr G's Free Money Shop 20x a day, partly to see "how much already", but the other reason is that it's an easy indicator if my website's down or up (based on how much is in my account)... e.g. if it said £0.10 right now I'd know my site had been down since about 8.15am.

    I have done some work today.... wrote an article. That took me an hour. Surely one hour's work/day's enough for anybody!

    Oh ... and I got roped into vacuuming on demand, which was annoying as my head was full of my writing stuff and suddenly I was behind the bog vacuuming with the nozzle end.... kind of takes you out of the whole writing zone.

    Now I've got some online ordering to do on demand. I think I'll hide today ... seems like every time I move I'm wanted for stuff.

    You can get some capsules that dry up the symptoms. And they actually work. I used to have some about 35 years ago when I was swimming .... and they worked then. Stuff like that's even better these days.

    They were little see through capsules filled with microscopic balls.

    Any chemist will have them .... and it'll stop you looking like a JK MOM.

    What are they called? I've taken day nurse and crashed into bed.

    Not sure... I'd know it if I heard it. I'll Google randomly for inspiration....

    Edit: couldn't find them.... but if the name comes to me I'll post again :)

    I thought he had maintained a road access.

    Edit: Found it http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showpost.php?p=44143240&postcount=7388



    Sounds like it's full of veggies though.

    He's a bit vague about access, but if there's any chance at all of getting planning permission for a dwelling at some time in the future, I would hang on to it. He can always give a lease/license to one of his neighbours to garden it in the meantime, and they'll presumably pay him something for the prvilege.
    No reliance should be placed on the above! Absolutely none, do you hear?

    Sudafed might help you, Doozer. There's a non-drowsy version.

    Hi Nice People,

    I am wading through hospital reports about skin cancer.
    Most of the acronyms can be found or are self evident.
    EG mm or MM means malignant melanoma.

    6/52 I think must be a measurement of time and I am guessing the scene could have been something like this:

    Doctor 2 Patient: Well how long have you had this weeping ulcer on your nose.

    Patient: Well I first noticed at cousin Jane's wedding, so it must have been after Xmas.

    Doctor: So that was after LAST Xmas in say January?

    Patient: I remember it was raining and cold.

    Doctor (sighs) and writes 6/52 meaning "At least 6 weeks ago but less than a year" ??

    They write weeks like that when you're pregnant eg 12/40. I think 6/52 would just mean six weeks? Sure someone knows better.

    mm or MM could just mean the width of the thing!
