    Just taken a telephone call...

    "hello ma'am, how are you today?

    I am calling because we want to give you some money back. You had a loan and paid it off, remember? This loan, there is money back for you....."

    Phone is currently resting on table whilst I type.

    No, he has hung up now. Shame as I fully intened to share in my good fortune with you lot. You would have just needed to pm me your bank details.

    Are you feeling any better today spirit? Still whistling on the breath?


    I want to do some housework, at least while lying down i do. Everytime i stand up i think better of it and lay myself down again.


    Doozer boy was a bit horrified when we went yesterday to the reclaim yard and i saw a mortuary slab i want now for a shower tray. Is it really a bac idea?

    I've investigated swimming to the island and it seems that you can do it ... IF ... nobody reports you. If you're reported then the full Coastguard turn out and search for you, track you down and give you a talk about how stupid/dangerous the stunt was and how you could have died because of the ferry/boats/yachts in that bit .... and the unpredictable currents.

    AND you have to make sure you don't make landfall in the part reserved for wildlife, or else you might be trapped inside the perimeter fence and become forever part of the island's exotic fauna.....:eek:
