A sneeze is usually triggered by an irritation in the nose, which is sensed by the trigeminal nerve, a cranial nerve responsible for facial sensation and motor control. This nerve is in close proximity to the optic nerve, which senses, for example, a sudden flood of light entering the retina. As the nerve fires to signal the brain to constrict the pupils, the theory goes, some of the electrical signal is sensed by the trigeminal nerve and mistaken by the brain as an irritant in the nose. Hence, a sneeze

Ooo, I wouldn't - you should see how much stuff I threw out when we ran out of space in the cars!! Def not MSE!!:o Plus I was that disorganised this morning that I've spent the day in random socks....made for an interesting conversation when the lady from the letting agent turned up!!
Anyway, it's all done - thanks to you and everyone else for your lovely thoughts and wishes.
Old house cleared and cleaned *pauses for a moment to remember her fav old t-shirt which fell in the house-cleaning-wars of 2011 as a result of bleach-related friendly fire* Initial inspection was fine, though apparently I have to wait for the actual landlord to go through the place before despoits will be discussed....hmmmmm......
Keys handed in, and I've done the three hour trek down to mum's where I'll be lurking for a week (broadband access - hurrah!) before completing my move further south. As I type, I am curled up on an insanely comfortable bed in a room with actual furniture....oh, how I've come up in the world (literally as this bed is a decent way off the floor!).
Also did the work goodbye drinks today, and was staggered to see so many people turn up - there were cards, presents and vouchers...and people even came in off leave! Just blew me away.
And I've had my last therapy session which was a blast - have come a long way in just a few short weeks, and am feeling very proud of myself.
Oooo, and I have MSE news!! Last post this morning - which brought a letter from Tesco Bank re a ppi claim I have with them....they're offering me nearly £5k plus 8% interest, and all I did was follow Martin's advice on claiming. Will dig out the proper details and pop it on the appropriate thread tomorrow - but I wanted to share the news with you lot first...how exciting!!
Righto, think I've done enough for today - time for a quick lurk and some snoozing!

You sound so happy! Glad so many turned up to wish you well. The letter from Mr T seems to be a very fitting start to your new life. Enjoy your week with your mum!Saving for a Spinning Wheel and other random splurges : £183.500

OMG that's a great offer regarding the ppi - i've got a claim in with another bank that i'm waiting a decision on, they say about 10 weeks which is also around the time we should hopefully be moving, maybe it's the same air that's blowing through your life at the moment, i hope they offer to settle.
stick to your guns about the deposit i hope they refund it all without too much delay or hassle.
have a lovely time with your mum, enjoy the lovely bed.0 -

*knocks on the door* coooeeee! How did the move go?0 -

No comment! The biggest stuff was moved - but there had been an utter lack of common sense employed by Mr S and his mate so I've spent the last two days shuttling things after work.
Just had the internet reinstalled at the new house so only just back online this evening.It’s not worth doing something unless someone, somewhere, would much rather you weren’t doing it.

Ah...erm....nope, I have nothing - should you feel the need to pick up a wet haddock and belt them both around the head with it, I can't say as I'd blame you!!0 -
scuba i think the problem that you're suffering from is that you actually expected some sense from 2 men, especially when they were working together! To expect any sense when it comes to moving (i'll hold hope they have some for other things) then you're being completely dillusional. lol did you have much trouble getting your broadband sorted? we're with plusnet and i'm not sure how easy it's gonna be to get ours transfered other - it's another one of my worries.0
