    Ours was a diamond. I wonder why they were there? It couldn't have been to see if it was occupied because our door stopped about a foot from the ground!

    The good old days???? Blankets like sheets of asbestos (some of ours had arms too!!!), frost on the inside of the windows, cold lino, cold water - oh don't get me started!!!

    I had frost on the inside of my bedroom window until the age of 23. We still have coal fires so our outside toilet was converted to the coal house long before i was born. And ALL hot water and central heating is from back boilers on the two fires.

    RAVE: Christmas shop now complete.

    RANT: The fighting, and i do mean fighting, amongst customers in M&S today over bags of sprouts and such. Staff were having to part them. Worse in the car park.

    Hmm, my youngest sister-in-law and her boyfriend saw that during the Boxing Day Sales in Melbourne. I didn't see anything along those lines, never have, but fortunately no one was trying to grab a cheap book that I was after!

    RAVE: general positive feeling and a bit more focus at present. Aircrew vets in Perth look out!

    RANT: boys/young men with the spiky hair and looking like they spent more time in front of the mirror than shaving! They truly do look ridiculous...maybe I'm showing my age now (31!)?!

    Hang on, I think I've had a rant about that before! Okay, try this:

    RANT: knowing the general positive feeling will disappear when work picks up in the next week or so and free time to do interviews will also disappear. Hmm, think of strategy to combat this...

    Happily, another sister-in-law (I have three) has offered to transcribe my interviews to date. Since she can type at 90 wpm, I think I might finally be making some progress!

    Go sister in laws!

    RAVE: Still shiny shiny christmas presents!

    RAVE: That new print. Tis gorgeous!

    RANT: Written precisely one sentence of my dissertation and not even managed to reference that.

    RANT: Cause of above is a bruised coccyx which means i can't sit for long, I need one of those kneeling stool things but they cost a sodding fortune!

    One of mine could turn to dust and all I would do is get the broom.

    Rant - Worked all over xmas and new year just to move the company i work for 9 miles up the road. Now we find that half the stock we carry has been mixed up by the students who were brought in to sort it, so we can't find half the stuff we need.

    Rave - Started guitar lessons today which i really enjoyed.
