h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

I have tomorrow off in order to clean/pack/do finances so we know how much money we have available to spend on holiday. I also have the chairman of governors coming over for lunch, I suspect to tell me of his forthcoming retirement (uh-oh, guess who's vice?). And in the afternoon I'm being briefed about the redundancy consultation meeting management are having with the union at work. It's amazing what I can pack into a day off isn't it?! But I'll be dropping over your way to collect lego in the morning. See you soon

Just reading about it is a bit so with it all. Have lost track of holidays and thought you were going the week after next so would be good to see you tomorrow before you go.

Hope you get a good sleep before then.

thought you might be able to give psychocandy some advice on the above thread (gynae issues). I pointed her your way so she may drop you a line. Hope that's ok.

Ho yus ...

Are you about this weekend? Seems like I haven't seen you in ages. Oh and do you have plans to go see Deathly Hallows pt1?

Yes and yes.

Well, prob in Npton with P tomorrow pm. Other than that, nothing except sleeping planned. I've even done the laundry today so that's out of the way already. So yes, wd be good to catch up, haven't seen you for weeks.

When I say yes re HP7, what I really mean is, I'm not sure. I'm really worried I'm going to find it too harrowing (I've been welling up just over the premiere stills and reviews and trailer, tho that cd just be my general mood at the mo) and I did say at the end of HBP that I wasn't sure I'd be able to watch the next one.

However, everybody else in the family is a dead cert but we probably won't all be going at the same time - P will go with her friends, so I'm sure there will be room for you on the main family trip

Laundry- don't remind me as I have much to do Hope to catch up at some point over w/e then. Don't mind when or with whom for HP7 but will probably have to pay with nectar points (assuming I have enough) so may have to go to a particular cinema

Keep forgetting P's old enough to go out with her friends. I think it'll hit me when she's eighteen because I'll be twice as old as her.

We'll probably be doing it on nectar points too so that should work out OK.

Yes, she's as tall as me too. I'm totally freaked. And T announced last night that he was big enough to put himself to bed now

However, on the good news front - our new mortgage should come through next week !

What sleep pattern are you on at the mo? I have been over but you've not been around ... although I think you were away at one point I get muddled ...

I was up in London last weekend and have been on a fairly regular pattern since then. I even managed to stay up late last night and still get up early this morning!

about the mortgage

Oops, sorry, got distracted there by the Heseltine thread.

Yes, it's *suddenly* happened very quickly. So ... we can go back to builders again ... I so desperately want to be based at home (and not in the kitchen!) ... and the financial benefits are cumulative, we save on transport, we save on childcare ... but, one step at a time. The mortgage needs to complete first.

And I did think that actually, the very first thing we ought to do, before we start running out of money again, would be to sort ourselves out with passports.

That's good, if you're on a 'normal' pattern I want one

It's worth getting them when you have the money because it's a bitch if you need a passport in a hurry *and* have to fork out for it.

Don't worry, my good sleeping will no doubt wear off (possibly by monday.) I slept well in London partly because of lots of walking and I always sleep better when I share a bed . Then with travel back on sunday I was asleep by 10 and up at 7!! Been getting to bed later since though.

Now I've got distracted by Daniel Radcliffe on Graham Norton Show...
