    So, which is more private, posting on here where search engines can't see, but plenty visit? Or posting in the other place which is theoretically visible but no-one finds?

    Not got anything exciting to post, but a number of us (me included) post things with the intention of deleting later, to avoid leaving info lying around.

    Yeah. Bit of one.... relief too. I think the worst bit is trying to explain it to any new places.... face didn't fit.

    Call it a short term contract.

    I have my reasons ... which I can't divulge.

    I really must sort out the other place.... spammers are ripping the bandwidth up, which is why it runs out every month.

    I really should be packing, but set myself targets to finish paper work, household stuff, shopping for the flat etc. So now its gone 5pm and everything is done except I haven't opened a suitcase and we leave in the morning!

    Writing in advance is good.... you can do it while you're in the zone that way. If you want to share your url with me at any time I can cast an eye over it and point you in the direction of any ideas that spring to mind as being potentially good/useful for you.

    Loads of time - you've travelled enough times to know exactly what you'll be chucking into it... 10 minutes tops :)

    It's fine, your post, you can remove if you like, though doubtless there is some part of the web which saves it forever. I haven't got a problem with posting and removing, but I do wonder if there is less traffic in the other place.

    Silvercar,

    I know you are a seasoned tevallor, and I never do any more, but a tip that always helped me was to keep a list on the computer to print off of things I might need, Each item had a box in which I could write a number and a second empty tick box, for ticking when packing on the return trips....

    You just don't put a number in the box of the things you aren't taking.

    So, if I took two evening dresses away I new I needed to pack two to bring home, for example.

    Most importantly the list let me focus on what I needed at all.....most beach trips you do not need a cocktail dress for example. :)

    I might be going out tonight... won't know yet. Might be an "ex colleagues huddle/coven meeting" :) and I might get fed my tea :) Expecting a call within 10 minutes of business close time.

    It does sound like an evening out with friends will be your best medicine after your days experiences. Have a good evening whichever way it goes.:)
