    I got one of those clothes bags you suck the air out of in Argos so I would have thought you could get a hanging up clothes cover from there, or lakeland, or a dry cleaning place.

    Just checking out Antipodean job opportunities. Unlikely to go out there permanently but would go for a few years. Need to check out visas and whether anyone is likely to sponsor me.

    I got mine from the Factory Shop. You obviously frequent higher class establishments than I do... ;)

    I'm probably going to try a dry-cleaning place - if I can find one. The supermarkets appear to have killed them (as well as most other stuff) off.

    Why not permanently?

    I must admit I had a look at New Zealand a couple of years ago. They had a bunch of jobs on the "Permanent Shortage" list. I kind of looked through it and went "I can do that. And that. That as well. And that too..."

    I don't know why they have a shortage. Nothing that I do is rocket science.

    Just got back from watching the local carnival - it was very good and the rain stayed away. In fact it was quite hot at times! Saw three of my great nieces who were in the carnival, looking like they were really enjoying it.

    I feel so tired all the time. I feel like I could go to bed right now - in fact my daughter has been in bed since 4pm (she does have chronic fatigue though) so might not be long before I go. If she wakes up now, she won't sleep tonight so I am hoping she will sleep right through.

    How long has that been going on?

    Probably not, it tends not to play nice like that. I always try to sleep for a maximum of 1 hour.

    A while now. I just never seem to feel refreshed. Currently I am on the verge of tears all the time and can't seem to be bothered to do anything. Classic signs of depression I feel, but don't want to go on anti depressants as I had such a bad time coming off them before (Sorry I know you are not a doctor, just felt I could say it in here!)
