    I had a look around MSE and apparently Martin has changed the stars to medals - it also gets rid of the problem with the 'super posters' losing their stars.

    I start next Tuesday skint_spice. Short first week with the Friday being Good Friday! I think next Monday night I will be feeling rather nervous! Need to get a hair cut before I start and also try to put together a couple of work outfits. Might have to go and buy a couple of bits though before next week as I haven't worked in an office for nearly a year now!! I'll re-start AQA though tomorrow - nasty big hole in my earnings this month with being on holiday.

    Need to do a letter to Thomson - OH's suitcase got very mangled on the way back, it looks like it was caught in some kind of mechanism. One corner is all ripped right across the lid, the piping completely knackered and you can see inside!!! We tried to sort it at the airport but they kept saying 'see the Servisair person in Arrivals' and wouldn't listen to 'there is no Servisair person in Arrivals, just a man fixing the vending machine' (Bournemouth airport Arrivals is literally a large portacabin!!!) The case was a cheap one from Wilkinsons and was boughta few years back and is bizarrely heavy even when empty so I've never liked using it, but it served a purpose so it is a bit gutting as it's far too damaged to use again. I've taken some photos to send them.

    Hiya Snaggles lady!!!!! Hope you are ok.............ooh, as I was typing Bunny has sent me a text!! I love being back in MSE land!
