    Hi Guys! We have been filming today for Martin's new programme. The children have been very excited about it, and I think it all went well. Shattered now though, but they have still got to go to Karate, so they will need to drag some energy out from somewhere!

    Toto, good news about the strike.

    Snaggles, I hope Ryan gets better soon.

    it's not too far away really, but then someone has put my life on fast forward for the last couple of years and it's zooming past!

    So you just need to find another like him and it'll all slow down again...

    no chance! I would like things to slow down a wee bit though as 2008 will be my last year in my 30s and I'd like to savour it! I think sorting out the debt has led to less lounging time as I've been ebaying and mending like a mad thing.

    Any idea who else is going to be on Martin's show? did IA say she was doing it too?
