I will be over to pick it up pdq. Secondly, your first comment reminded me of a story (probably a myth, but what the hell) about Einstein. Apparantly he didn't speak at all until he was 4 years old. When he finally did, it was at a lunch to say "this soup is cold." Of course, his family was amazed. "Why didn't you talk before?" they asked. The answer? "Because everything was in order until now." Scary - but cool...Potty Mummyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04751869800592294891noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5175562867822111389.post-77081024215892849232008-04-07T07:03:00.001+01:002008-04-07T07:03:00.001+01:00ps - ooops.

And then keep their opinions to themselves. I am pretty sure that one of my boys teachers thinks that I am totally in denial because I am so laid back about his reading. <BR/><BR/>Oh well.

Our mayor is a despot who will, god willing, be out of a job by the end of the summer. Having said that, there are more numpties out there than most realise, so who knows?<BR/><BR/>Note: our car does not have the higher emissions. But that's not the point...<BR/><BR/>Mya, hope the thing you found to kick was sturdy enough.

I remembering being very upset when someone I know not that well, suggested my son had OCD. This was based on the fact that he had lined his toy cars up in a row. I laughed at the time and tried to make a joke of it, but it didn't half annoy me. Pah! Grrr. Ooh - I'm going to have to go and kick something now.<BR/><BR/>Mya xMyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14106690738320651376noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5175562867822111389.post-49294394670407679282008-04-05T17:22:00.000+01:002008-04-05T17:22:00.000+01:00Oh oh!

I just finished reading a news article that says they are trying to levy a $50 fee in your area for cars with higher emissions driving into the city.<BR/><BR/>All the time I was reading it I kept thinking - don't I know someone who lives in that area?<BR/><BR/>Unless of course those emissions he's giving out exceed the limit - he's still probably safe for a couple of years.aimshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12685252628734838159noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5175562867822111389.post-48443537074632666782008-04-05T17:12:00.001+01:002008-04-05T17:12:00.001+01:00Gap and M&S?
