President for life, Craggs declared the Front upper bedroom a lace free state today. Population 2 lava lamps, a Jack Russel Terrier, 6 books and an out of date copy of the Radio Times, the economy appears to be stable.

I hereby declare my bedroom a republic. Equal rights for socks! Peoples republic for aliens, Caldonia, President Cal of Trog, 1 Alien, 2 socks (not a pair), 1 dog (snowy), 1 baby (scott), 2 Cadbury's cream eggs and a

Welcome aboard . I'll add you both on as soon as I've woken up a bit

Meh. Welcome to the insanity, friends.

There'll be no insanity in the peoples republic of aliens
Well only on Tuesdays

No, the insanity here, I mean.

"President for life, Craggs declared the Front upper bedroom a lace free state today. Population 2 lava lamps, a Jack Russel Terrier, 6 books and an out of date copy of the Radio Times, the economy appears to be stable."

What 6 books? (curiousity)

President for Life Craggs has banned all but the six books of Scripture.

Edgar Allen Poe The Fall of the House of Socks,St Augustine City of Socks,John Grisham the King of Socks,Plautus the Sock and other plays,Seneca letters from a Sock and finally te 1969 Rupert the Bear Annual.

one of the Lava lamps has a broken bulb, and Schrodinger the Jack Russell may or may not be in there, I won't know until I look.

Join me comrades on my Quest for the House of Lost Socks, it must be out beyond this republic somewhere.

President for Life Craggs agrees with your choice of TKAMB and Grendle heartily though and only voted them out at the ecuminical sub committee on Wombats and Scripture, so as not to appear biased to WASP's.

"Edgar Allen Poe The Fall of the House of Socks,St Augustine City of Socks,John Grisham the King of Socks,Plautus the Sock and other plays,Seneca letters from a Sock and finally te 1969 Rupert the Bear Annual."

...Riight. Thanks, just curious... Never read any of those guys, except Poe. I've heard good things about Seneca and Grisham, but I think I lean more toward Seneca myself... Find the ideas of Stoicism very interesting...

Right, have finally got round to updating the table , the Lace Free State of Upper Front Bedroom currently has no capital city, but I'm sure one can be founded

House of Lost Socks, could you possibly mean the Sock Sanctuary?

The Republics State capital is Mitsii,the fabled House of Lost Socks was identified by the bureau of lost socks as being closley linked with both El Dorado and the Bermuda triangle.

The peoples republic of Aliens has discovered a stowaway under the bed Namely a Womble.

His citezenship is being decided by Presedent Cal, the , the baby(scott) and the 2 cadbury's cream eggs

It has been agreed by the panel that the womble should have full citizen rights as it seems he was not included in the original list of population as noone bothered to look under the bed. He has been living there quite a whil with 2 peices of fluff, a lenght of string, a half eaten fruit gum and a .

Ha! * winks to camera *
, I see my spy from has successfully managed to infiltrate the state,thankfully it appears that he had managed to cut the cord and dispose of the other tin can from his communication device....

The dog ate the this morning

Well, after about two and a half months out of the Republic of Something or Other (on a secret mission abroad, the only detail of which that can be revealed is that I have acquired a pair of knee-high blue tie-dye socks), I have returned. In my absence the Republic has been taken over by the ruler of the Rest of the Flat (i.e. my mom) and used as a study, but I am happy to report that all foreign elements have been evicted and the mess rules again. The collection of stuff on the wall got some new postcards and poems, and among the residents of the Republic are now also Canuck the moose (present from a Canadian friend), Ozzi the koala (present from an Australian friend) and the George the hedgehog (not a present, I bought him at Bushkill Falls).

Looks like I'd better do some updating

The People's Republic of Unc moves back to Nottingham at the weekend so I'll have to remind myself to update that as well

I really must remind myself to pack at some point as well, preferably before the weekend

Yes, but not too much before... otherwise you forget what you've packed and you need to unpack everything to make sure you have a toothbrush. I think the best would be to think about it for as long as possible and then get into an insane packing frenzy at the last moment.
