What a ridiculous thing to say...and what makes you assume that K & G are C of E?

Even when we had family over to stay one Xmas, it was still horrible, better than without them, but still horrible. I've had 11 of them here and not one has been memorable.

my friend from the Phillipines was moaning about the Indian call centres the other day saying how they kept phoning and she couldn't understand them. I have to listen really hard to her sometimes though as she has a strong accent!

No one likes those kinds of calls, but I'm not concerned as to whether they are Mormons or Jehovah's Witness - that's their business. It's the call that I don't like.

I'm taking a vacation in the UK in September (14th-30th). This will be the first time I've been back in the autumn. I've been back a few times in the spring, but usually at Christmastime. I'm looking forward to it!

You know, that was one of the things I was specifically thinking about. Almost said something about bringing conkers back (I love conkers!!!), but decided not to.

I love fog too. September's probably too early for much fog.
