    Hey all, afternoon.

    Just checking in while my jackets are cooking for my lunch. I'm flatly refusing to do any flying today, I'm guessing its kids bedrooms tomorrow, so I will do bathroom then.

    pophugbyzappe1ak.gif Big hugs to lil-me, you should be about due for some good luck.

    Pigpen your nails are very nice and sparkly, but how do you manage to clean with them?!

    Ok so maybe it won't work for everybody. I loved seeing the dead body disected on Jamie - shame it wasn't Jamie himself.

    I thought there were a few good tips, but most of it was scare-mongering, telling the skinny small woman she has too much fat!!

    Poohbear my school let you choose your hours and you could ask to just to A levels which are smaller and usually mainly sitting down rather than the big GCSE's which involve a lot of walking and standing.

    Last night when I wrote about writing things on my hand to try to remember things I was going to say I think I might be nearly the oldest here, 48 and 49 in a few days!

    Looks like I'm the flybaby then!! Anyone younger than 24?

    Embb good luck with the interview, hope you enjoyed your breakfast.

    Off to hoover bedroom/matress as I feel cold and that is cheaper than putting the heating on.
