I went baby sitting tonight, poor baby was coughy and poorly. When i went in he was standing up and did a double take when it was me not his m or d but hushed and cuddled and went back to sleep immeadiately i pocked himup. Only problem is he is getting to heavy for me to lift. I think i mentioned he now calls me booby.

What happened to elsewhere.....i have been suspended .

It's called not paying your bills.

I'd had a couple of emails and I'd not opened them.... and that one needs actually paying each year (others all take it automatically)... and I spotted it after I'd been shut down 7 hours. I've been caught up elsewhere doing stuff for the old that's important, so eye wasn't on the ball.

Luckily I guessed my login/password and managed to get onto my host's site and paid by Paypal (not at home at the moment, so passwords not with me).... and by the time I woke up it was all working again

I cannot bear for things to be stuffed in to drawers or out away unsorted.

I've always suffered from "not enough space/not the right sort of storage" to be able to have somewhere to put everything.

Things start off well, then when you run out of space you have to start piling things a bit willy nilly.

The only way to be organised/tidy in a small space without any storage is to own nothing...

I have a query/conundrum. I have this morning received an email from an American hotel confirming a booking with my correct surname. The problem is a) i have no plans of going to America so no need to book a hotel and b) is my email/credit card compromised?

I don't know if someone got lucky and guessed my name/email and then randomly used a CC number for this reservation and therefore it won't match my address or if someone has well and truly stolen my identity?

edit to add: just used the contact me page on the website to cancel the reservation, it's a real hotel.

The richest person I ever met (a regular subject in the FT and you will definitely know the surname) has a piece of plywood resting on beer crates for a desk. Multi-billion pound deals have been worked out over that piece of plywood.

It's too much of a coincidence misskool. I'd call the credit card company straight away and let them decide best cause of action.
