Janet

Sounds ideal Janet. Wonder what my Kenny will end up doing. He did tech studies Standard Grade and has picked up Product Design this year at Higher...this is his last year.

Many congratulations to your son Janet .. exciting times for him. Awww your baby's all grown up now :-)

Congratulations Janet!! That's excellent news

Brilliant, what has she chosen to study? So much choice nowadays.

Great! I'm happy for her. And for you, proud parent of a genius.

Thanks Nicola and Diane.

This cough is really getting on my nerves. :/

Goodness me, you sound awful! Hope you feel much better soon!

Thanks Charm. My hubby bought home some cough medicine last night but I'm still cough, cough, coughing!

Nah, I only got one little visit in the last 36 hours!

Did somebody say party....hands round drinkies...lol

Science fiction! Science fiction! <<sticks tongue out at Chrissy>>

Glad you enjoyed it Janet...so did my friend and I

Really want to see this. Loved the book, and Geoffrey Rush is such a great actor.

Geoffrey, Emily Watson and Sophie Nelisse are amazing in it .. absolutely first class.

Sorry Janet! I haven't seen a photo of you. I just assumed that must have been what you were talking about

If he had seen a piccy of you he would know to say a big "PHROAR!"

.. and then some

Glad you are OK Kylie and Devi. I hadn't even heard about any fires!

Glad you're OK too, Devi. Those mongrels who start fires though...grr!

Sorry, Devi - I didn't realise you were there too. Glad you're okay as well.

26!!!!

? 27!

26 now

Your mojo is probably on holiday with my mojo ~ I bet they come back with tans and photos!

Thanks guys. I have to read "The Help" by 30 November but I keep putting it off. :/ Come back, mojo!

Janet, why not try a book of short stories? I find it helps

Deep breaths Janet

Hehe - sorry guys. I was a tad stressed! I've sorted it now!

Thought you had got tangled up in your wrapping....lol

Hehe - I can't help myself! 32 sleeps now!

I have 31

I am trying to channel you Janet .. but nope .. I still feel wibbly about it. I need to get myself a Christmas jumper .. that'd sort me out

It's certainly an odd phenomenon! I bought The Gallery of Vanished Husbands by Natasha Solomons and Pies and Prejudice by Stuart Maconie.

Oh boy! But I hope you know none of us can really judge you on that...

Happy reading

Me too .. and it wasn't going all that well before

You could always read books about tennis in the intervals, Janet!

You'd think they'd have a bit more consideration!!

RIP

I had no idea he was in his seventies. Great actor.

He's died? great actor. Always evoked a lot of sympathy in his characters. I still remember him in Pennies From Heaven

RIP Maeve.

Thanks for posting, Janet . I hadn't heard. I've read several of her books and liked them all .

So sad ....

Penny Candle was the first of hers I ever read....8(

Speak for yerself! I'm holding Kate Bush to ransom until Kay stops!

Lol!

I admit I do love Judy. I don't want to see Caroline in the bottom two again though so won't be voting for Judy again .. probably Let Kate go now Steve!! No wonder there's no news on the DVD release!

Jealous!

Hope you enjoy it Janet

Thanks, guys - it was AWESOME!

Shirley - you could be right! I hope they return soon!

Raven - hmm - sound theory!

haha Raven - so THATS's why I only read 20 books a year!

Hmm Raven, you wouldn't be talking about any specific people, would you?

Your theory could explain why I've been reading so much more this year.

Happy New Year

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year Janet!

Have a lovely relaxing time xxx

Have a fabby time!!!!

Thanks guys. Had a lovely time away (ate in 'The Village' which was lovely. Missed the Tate, Raven. Next time.

Have a good holiday! xx

Have fun Janet

Thanks guys. I've sneaked on at my Mum's! Off tomorrow morning. xx

LOL thanks!

Gotta agree!

Hurrah! I'm glad someone does!

You rotter Janet

Ho Ho Ho!

You're gardening now?

Don't have fun .. it's forbidden! xx

I saw it on telly. I will be interested to know what you think Janet

It was really very good. I will post a few pictures when I've finished sorting them.

It's a cartoon song - it's a bit rude! If you're not too easily offended and Google Amazing Horse, you should find it - it's really catchy. It's a favourite of frankie and Chrissy too!

The background of the cartoon is based on Stourhead!

Thats brilliant I have seen it before but never recognised the back ground :-0
