    Pippi, i like Cherri's suggestion for Captain Orrible, the only other i can think of is evil edna but i'm not sure if you've battled her before.

    Mad Mavis does sound like a winner. Thanks Debs


    Pippi i was thinking more in line for Cap One than for mine, but then you probably sussed that anyway.

    ah the things that have happened in the past week.
    Had to blitz this place as we've had an estate agent come around tonight to give us a valuation and to give us a low down on the housing market at the moment. And i'm going to see a couple of 'hovels' tomorrow to check them out whilst OH is at work, and then we can go back together if they're potentials.
    seems such a big thing but i guess we've decided to make a move.... literally.

    hope everyone has good weekends planned, i'm also going to lunch with my sister and parents, oh and i'm having my hair cut for the first time in 8months
