Deleted that message as it would confuse.
Use the following format but replace {} brackets with [] brackets

{url=http://www.websiteaddress.com}Words you want to appear{/url}

Simple as!

Testing!

I've been on holiday.

Not sure how much I can catch up on, I think it's gone a bit too far for that. I will have to skim for everyone's user names to find the latest big news I think.

But Hi, anyway. :wave:

Where'd you go, & was it nice? Did you have a good time?

Also, have you had chance to read any of either books? If so, what did you think?

Welcome home...:)

Just got home from a gig

Everyone must listen to Amanda Palmer. (actually, she's probably not to everyone's taste)

Never heard of her. Was she the headline act?

After pretty much a year of very few gigs, I am looking forward to Public Enemy on monday. On a recent trawl of local venues, there are suddenly 6 :eek: gigs I want to get tickets for. & I have 5 gigs booked between now & christmas...

so, I'm feeling grotty and as a result I think we might get Fish 'n' chips for supper (but I have chops defrosting in the fridge) I understand the chippy near the station has gravy. but might try this famous chips and gravy thing.....

Yay... Friday.... two days without people picking things up, inbound calls, form filling, solicitor appointments, paperwork, banking, pension pickups, food shopping, runs to the tip, pawing through homes/houses leaflets trying to decide, people finding jobs for me to do, checking old looks respectable/is wearing shoes/has no gravy.

The weekends are when you're not bothered by 'real life' outside of the home, so there's no urgency to be places at set times, with specific papers and sign things and answer questions.

Getting to the end of the essentials list.

Volunteer came to fill in the AA form today ... even with 3/4 of the form filled in (by sibling 3 weeks ago) and all the data, dates, etc, all to hand .... it still took an experienced form filler 2 hours to do it (38 pages). Old was squabbling with me about what can/can't be done, because the old didn't really understand the questions.... but we got there in the end... and then I wrote a covering letter as to why it had been returned late (due Wednesday) ... and it's posted.

If you like comedy, then the Artrix in Bromsgrove was a very well kept secret, just blown wide open by me. Follow them on twitter and you get some big names for £15 in a tiny venue (looks a bit like a miniature Ikea) when they're testing their material. Don't tell anyone else okay?

We went to Devon. A week at a PGL family activity week which was FABULOUS for all of us, though I have battle scars to prove it, and a week of R&R elsewhere on the coast. I took both books and have only read part 1 of the Upside of Irrationality which I have definitely enjoyed so far; how motivating a bonus really is etc. looking forward to the next section when I run a bath this week. You'll be horrified to hear that I have already dropped the entire book into the bath; Still readable, even twice it's original size!

I've spent nearly £300 so far on school uniform for ONE child today. Still haven't got a blazer, I'm hoping the school second hand shop will reveal treasure. Needed for 'best' only = ridiculous.

Well......I think gravy where LJ is must be different from gravy where I am.

I can imagine chips being nice with my homemade gravy...ina sort of stodgy comforting way...but that was. .....not nice.

Aware of the Artrix - was tipped off by a friend. Between there, & warwick arts centre, there is some good stuff going on affordably.

After a yaer of next to no gigs (comedy & music) on a trawl of local venues, I've found 6-8 gigs I really want to go see! No one will be getting christmas pressies from me it appears...

Was a bit :eek: re the book/bath incident. See lir! That is why!;) Really glad to hear that you're enjoying the book though. I too found it fascinating. Accordingly, my brother is getting me his first book for my birthday next month.

That's the two of us agreed then
It was pretty poor gravy where I had it too ... won't ever try that again.
