Thanks, MG and Firewalker!

As for the script news, MG, that's very, very interesting. Your mortgage could potentially be paid off MUCH sooner that projected.

Gotta go. Guess who goes to MediaCity today for a meeja presentation?

So I take it you are wearing black then :rotfl:

Good luck hon - knock their socks off with your confidence and vavavoom.

Morning peeps

Today, I am beavering at my computer with applications, CVs etc. I have just looked at 500 emails (mainly spam) and noticed that I was being asked for my address. I entered a monthly prize draw on a website for a small company in the Manchester area who make soap and it seems that I have won a gift basket filled with soapy goodies:D I heard about this prize draw on Twitter so this year that makes it 4 things that I have won now because of Twitter:cool:

Will catch up in a mo - I have something to do at 11am, I was up early this morning and went to lay my wreaths on graves (I always do it early on Remembrance Day)

I got DS to sit and watch BBC1 for 2 minutes in silence. He is wearing his poppy too. Will try to explain to him later what it means.

Well done Horace, I used to win loads on twitter.

We are on the main road (just opposite the Memorial Hall) and the vehicles stopped, they raised a flag to half mast and read out "Lest we Forget"

MG loved the rant. I hate gossips people who usually need to get a proper hobby and at best a life

Sounds hopeful re the script you wrote. Could be quite lucrative:)

Was here on my billy at 11 but I was reading this http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2060179/Armistice-Day-2011-The-mother-lost-sons-WW1.html very touching.

A nice little boost re winning the gift basket Horace.

Well I have become somewhat frustrated with the construction of website and setting up email thing I am trying to do. So a break and maybe back to it this afternoon. Unless I find something more productive to do.

So I think another coffee to warm me up and keep me going

Brrrrrrrrrrrrr!!! would it be more MSE to hiberate???

Hot soup and a pot of tea for lunch but I am still chilled - not helped by how gloomy it is outside (its is so dark I cannot read a newspaper without he light on and considering in the summer you can read in the garden at midnight that is pretty darn gloomy for a lunchtime).

But it is Friday - woohooo!!! My weekend is calling

CVs done and applications sent, had 2 mins silence in front of the tv. Washed up, made a start on tidying living room - doing this in bursts so I don't get too disheartened. Why do I accumulate so much paper?

I still have minutes to type and other stuff to do. I havent had lunch yet so will stop and have toasted white muffins with cheese & tomato.

Weather is very gloomy here - I hate fog and my lights are on.

Feeling very sad today - I always am on 11 November. I remember relatives who died in the war and friends who have since died who were in WW2, WW1 and more recent wars. I watched a programme on Channel 5 last night all about the Bomber Boys and they mentioned Pathfinders being sent out to drop flares to mark where the bombs had to go, I never understood what one of mum's work colleagues meant when he told me he was a pathfinder during the war - now I know. I was thinking about the chap who mum always used to say would sneak up on her, she would be working at her desk and suddenly he would be standing there - he walked so silently because he used to walk up behind German guards and slit their throats. Another chap used to fly at low level photographing the enemy entrenchments - he showed me some photos he took of the bulbfields in Holland and the Channel Islands (they didnt show anything classified). None of them are with us anymore. I was also thinking about my great uncle Walter who wasn't the same after the war - if he saw a japanese person he would cross the road to avoid them and then when he got home would curse the 'ruddy nips' as he would call them - he worked on the Burma Railway so I do see his point. Remants of the war still exist where I live - some of us are battling to save the Flight Shed from demolition - this is where the bombers were built during WW2 at Austin - it has a floating roof and was designed by Barnes Wallis.

S'pose I had better go and have lunch, a hot mug of coffee and a sit down.

FYI: black with spots on. And an astute female physics student realised we both owned the same dress: what was more fabulous was the £18 price tag! :cool:

Alas, I wasn't giving the presentation, just going to see it, but ye gods, that place is...*picks jaw off floor* Just. Simply. Stunning! :j

Now to get ready for my birthday dinner tonight. We are off to a rather delicious Chinese restaurant (and I'm pretty picky when it comes to Chinese), so it will be good!

PS DS1 put his hand up and volunteered today - don't know who was happier, me or his teacher
