    Hi Sea. Well done on the £5 GFK win. I gave that up as it was so boring and I now only do surveys for guaranteed rewards. Been a bit lax lately though so must get back into it.

    I wouldn't begrudge the £4 for soft play. The kids will love it and if you can sit and read a book, then I think you deserve a bit of "me" time.

    I know you've had other things on your mind but did you ever find out if you were available the weekend we're in Blackpool?

    Right - back from soft play now - it was nice to have a cuppa and a read of my mag. It's one place where the kids really get on and Sophia helps william round etc. So nice when they aren't screaming and hitting each other!!

    However, was foolish and bought S a board game - no need, fully spontaneous, arghhh. She's v happy of course, and I envision an afternoon of now work being done by me and just playing tummy ache instead!

    My friend came 15th in the top 30 radical women at the moment in the observer, so purchased that as well!! They've managed to get the dates for her wrong (by their reckoning she was leaving school to go to the peace came at 7!!) but so chuffed for her. She has been doing loads on reclaim the night and prostitution at the moment.

    Well, have doen lots of surveys this weekend so that's good. My computer is playing up - my ipod no longer uploads and we can't seem to sort it. B-i-l was messing with it at xmas and this is the result. Just great.

    :D

    Well, been busy - just been on Stonewall's site ordering some anti-homophobic bullying info for school. I was bullied at school for having a lesbian mother (fortunately, as quite a large child I knew how to use my weight well and the bullying didn't last long) and at my school the homophobia is dreadful. School doesn't seem to be doing much about it. So I intend to do something - no doubt the !!!!!! headmaster will have a go, as he seems to do to everyone who wants to actually challenge anything at all.

    Ho hum.

    ARGHHHHH PANIC STATIONS!!!

    My great uncle has just rung - they are holidaying in the lakes and are coming to see us - should be here in about an hour!!! The house is not '15 min' ready and we will now have to both blitz it like mad things, as they will want to see all we've done to it etc. HELP!!! Also my son has become a cat and has curled up on the kitchen floor asleep in the sun. Don't want to wake him yet as he'll be devil child from hell so will have to focus on other rooms first.

    Here I go - please, send me clean house vibes, I have no idea how we're going to get sorted in time!
