    I've been at an utterly insane fancy dress party for 3 days. Only 2 more to go.
    But normally I stay in and watch a dvd.
    While you're waiting, read the free novel we sent you. It's a Spanish story about a guy named 'Manual.'

            Exactly - How pathetic can they get?

            I spent the weekend in Libya, with a (cough) small team visiting a local diplomat. Can't really talk about it in detail, but suffice it to say the whole thing went tits up, and now we're back in a town in Hereford (which I can't name) planning our next move. So quite an eventful weekend really, but not the worst I've had.

                I don't.

                Over the past 2 years I have had some minor illness problems which has meant 1 week in every 3 I've been too ill and tired to go out. So when I'm well enough to go out everyone knows about it. My next full weekend in will be in April (and I'm looking forward to staying in bed until 1pm)

                  I went to a dinner party on Sunday night (no, really I did) with a bunch of 30 something professionals - note to the audience I'm neither professioanl or a 30 something. I was engaged in conversation about pokemon and which school you want to send your kids too.

                  Next time I'm going to lie to people and say I stayed in.

                      They are fraught with danger these types of discussion.

                      At a recent dinner party we were talking about private schools. There is a local private girls school that will take them from 3/4! Fees are about £7k a year.

                      I stated that at age 4, we had thought about it but had decided that really we didn't see the point of paying for education at that age, thought it was a waste of time and frankly didn't want to be seen as pretentious.

                      There was a couple who were a bit taken aback.
