I found a new game - it's distracting me - I think I might get bored of it in a few minutes but wanted to share my momentary elation. My friend and I are having an email discussion facilitated by gmails magically generated optional replies. Well I had to do something other than eat cake!

Or from my extensive research, Google might offer 'Yes I do' 'OK thanks' (a popular option) or 'That's right'

One of our Christmas tree seeds has started to sprout!  :D It spent a few weeks in fridge before progressing to pot on window sill. I think I'm going to stop counting the visa process in weeks and start counting in Christmas tree. Maybe before it's six foot, or am I being overly optimistic?!

Listened to most of it - have to go out... It's both kind of harrowing and cathartic to hear. My MP did agree to take forward the general issues I raise which I will address to her at house of commons. As they say on here it matters to voice these issues even though there is no change.
