so thank you to all who text me - I now owe you a 'standard message charge'! Oops....

At least I didn't have to pay for my new phone as they gave it to me as a free upgrade.

Phew

LOOKING FOR A NEW JOB?
THEN MAYBE YOU CAN BECOME A HUG EMBASSADOR FOR LONDON ......

This article made me rather 'dewy eyed' I have to admit because being a singleton it can be a long time inbetween hugs and I think he sounds a 'jolly good hugger' - must be the purple coat thing?

On Saturday afternoon as I was cleaning my kitchen I was reminded out of the blue of a 'friend of a friend' (Let's call him Bob)

I've not seen him for a few years . . . it was weird to think of him after all that time but he literally just 'popped in to my head'.

That evening I saw the 'friend of Bob' who I do know at a party and enquired after him . . . he looked shocked and said 'it's so weird you should ask that he's just been through the most AWFUL 24 hours' and proceeded to tell me more details about the terrible time Bob had been through.

WHAT A WEEK! It's been a tiring one and quite frankly I can't wait til the Easter break . . . .

A rollercoaster emotions started for me last Friday when I received a text from my Mum (who's currently writing a book in the middle of nowhere in Uganda where she runs a charity).

The text informed us all to pray for one of our elders, David, from our church 'back home' (in Macclesfield, Cheshire). He had suffered two heart attacks out of the blue and was not in a good way.

1. A watched email never 'new mails"

2. A watched mobile never "new messages"

3. I'm rubbish at being patient!

Backpacking and making a difference to those less fortunate than ourselves..... sounds good to me.

I'm rubbish at 'doing my bit for the environment' although I'm trying to get a little better - I read something at the weekend that I'd not known before . . .

That leaving my phone charger plugged in is emitting C0two (couldn't do the little 2 sign there on my computer)

Here's what it says on the site above:
A mobile phone charger if left plugged in when not charging will be responsible for between 35 to 70kg C02 over the year. Always unplug the mobile phone charger when not in use. Feel it, the warmth is caused by the constant consumption of electricity.

I must admit I'm very busy at work today (got a pitch on) so I've just copied and pasted this email that I've had sent to me for those of you who might be interested to sign. Thanks S

To those of you who know London... Please have a look at the following... And maybe sign petition....

Borough market is London's oldest market. It was established on the south bank of the Thames when the Romans build the first London Bridge and people have been trading on this site for over 2000 years. it's a beautiful undercover food market and a truly wonderful part of London's history

Now being the proud owner of a smashing digital camera - I'd like to know if there's a freebie uploading site that you can recommend for uploading and sharing my photos with my mates?

I've been on flickr but now I have to pay to put them in sets and annoyingly it's in dollars - which I'm confused by.

Thank you
S
