No worries, just give me a couple of days warning to clear out the spare room. When I'm having a tidying up mood, things just get slung in there and the door shut again Serious offer though if you want a few days away to sit on a beach and contemplate your navel.

I'd invite you to come and stay in London for a bit but the house is full right now. 7 in a 3 small 3 bed house. Can probably spare the sofa

Has London moved since I was last there? Can't remember there being an ocean or beach being close by Unless you're counting that dirty bit on the banks of the Thames of course

Yes that - gotta be careful not to walk on it though because there's several feet of sludge just beneath it. And there's always the wave making machine at the pool in Bracknell to give you that "by the seaside" feel. Oh and lots of seagulls around here - one decorated my car just yesterday.

Bracknell just did it for me Sounds fab, can't think why I'm not there

I am 20 mins drive from the beaches - but all North Shore of Sydney so you have masses to choose from to sit on/drink coffee/swim/surf etc. Obviously these are the best beaches in Sydney!!!!

If you drive up here I have a spare room you are welcome to, to have a break. No cleaning etc required and you can have the dogs if you want to take to the dog beach!

I won't take a swop to Canberra, thanks

You can PM me I really would be happy to help - ask Polly I am not that mad

Yes you and I know that but it might be a secret and some people might not personally know the weirdly wonderful (mad) witch.

How hard is that to understand???
You haven't even finished work yet but clearly your brain has ceased to function already!
How dissapointing, I read it the other way round . . . that I could go and stay with sasbear at her place, close to the sea, if I agreed to be her slave for two nights . . .




I'm putting the gimp mask back in the drawer as I type (with one hand) . . .

Thanks for you kind offer - I will PM you if I need to take you up - thanks again xxx

Everyone is so sweet - and I am very lucky - I am not that good at cleaning or cooking to be honest (there -now the cat is out of the bag!)

Sas- you are welcome to come to ours- we have plenty of room and we are 5 mins from the beach, but we might be a bit far for you- but just think- no one would be able to find you!
