    Take a break Igamogam. You're supposed to be on holiday! (Sorry to sound like I'm telling you off, but if you will keep mentioning the essays. :p)

    And what's Our Food? I've never heard of it but it sounds like something I'd be interested in.
    If you know you have enough, you're rich. ;)

    Not another busy one? I liked the Tasmanian Devil comment above, it's absolutely right. You're like a whirlwind. :D:D

    I wish I was - I would get more done in that I would actually COMPLETE jobs. There is always something on the go because I have never got to the end of it and I have tried all sorts of tricks and techniques but just cant fathom it out..............one day! I do allow myself some down time BTW! I tend to have to cram it all into weekends and holidays as I work a long way from home so its early starts and late finishes with a bit of running round in between during the week. Chores and family stuff at weekends - well as much as possible in those depts:D
