I have a little rant, its a bit dated but not had time (or inclination) to say anything before. During the week when Blair and Brown were having their little argument, I kept hearing people say "but I didn't vote for Brown, I voted for Blair." This fact is incorrect, unless said person lives in the Sedgfield constiuancy and is registered to vote there, then infact they did not vote for Blair but voted for a member of the labour party that happens to be lead by the megalmaniac Tony Blair.
Anyhow, moving away from politics. What have I been up to? Well... I finished sorting out my room (well almost, there were a few boxes I didn't even look into), I filled the wheelie bin twice and put about 6 carrier bags of paper out to be recycled. Now I just need to find a home for 6 years worth of new scientist magazines, any suggestions?
Since finishing my room, I have attended a 60th birthday party, which was fun (although it does make a girl feel old). Then I went to London for a week. THis involved some painting, a bit of shopping (blimey bravissimo is a scary shop), standing around in Leicester square watching people watch celebrities, a visit to the Comedy Store (which I thought was very very funny), a trip south of the river for a meeting of "Ship of Fools" which my aunt belongs to (which was interesting to say the least), I did a bit of hanging around with my baby cousin (and his mother) and some hanging round with my other cousins and my aunt.
Now I am in Tim's house (been here since saturday). He is away with work so I have been pottering about doing jobs and things that had been on the todo list for a long time. I also had a night of loooking after the children (with a little help from Tim's mum) and thankfully evryone made it to school on time and I didn't have too many arguments. I did have a comic moment from douglas (who btw is an expeditionist), he was having a shower and had taken all his clothes but his socks off and managed to put one foot into the bath (he had the plug in even though it was a shower) he noticed and then instead of stepping out of the bath so he could take is one wet and one dry sock off, he stepped forward and ended up with two wet socks, I didn't know if I should shout at him of laugh at him!!!

If you want rid of stuff that you think still has some life in it to someone (e.g. New Scientists in your case) try Freecycle.
We've got rid of quite a lot of stuff to the local group here, and have recieved a few bits from them.
P.S. the web address is www.freecycle.org and is based around Yahoo group e-mail lists.
