Morning RG - how are you surviving all these late nights?
When does campaigning start in earnest? You're going to be very busy for the next couple of months! |

Your local library should have it and if not Smiths stock it. This won't tell you how to compile charts but her accuracy about the different signs is uncanny. She describes each signs characteristics separately for men, women and children - so if you want to understand a partner, someone you work with or want to know what makes your child tick - this book will help you. I haven't read it for years but I still consider it the best and her accuracy will have you laughing aloud.
I wonder if Dirk has read it !

Morning Late nights are fine - its the early mornings that are the killers Hubby is home this morning so he did the kids - so no jingle bells wake up call The campaigning has already started - hubby has been out leafletting and such. I think next month is when it'll get really manic. I am trying to remember what happened last time, but I was heavily pregnant and ill on bed rest and such so I don't really recall when it went mad. Though I have always been determined that the kids wont be used for political point scoring.....photo ops and such.....they are gonna help leafletting

It's a much under appreciated job and should be more recognised and respected. |

I think half the problem is that people dont realise that at this level councillors dont get paid.....ours get a yearly allowance.....after tax and NI this works out at just over £400. But when you compare it to everything that gets paid out and when working missed works days etc it doesnt actually cover the expenses we incur. People also think that there are a lot of perks, which of course there isnt.....other than once a year a civic trinity service at the church and a very nice recepetion afterwards paid for by trinity house. Some councillors put in a massive amount of work with very little thanks. |

Morning everyone
I've just been reading what you were up to last night and I have to say that I enjoyed reading your film commentary, RGWT. Things like, "Some men come in. They look like baddies" made me laugh! Poor Dirk getting his throat cut though Interesting news about the David Gest I'm A Celeb vote too. I'm not surprised it was a mistake at all...he was a legend.

![]() Last night was ok, not great though. My nephew seemed more interested in the pyrotechnics and lighting than the acts though! Judging by crowd noise, I'm surprised that Ray didn't win over Leona because he undoubtedly got the best response. Ben was definitely the best, he was really good. Believe it or not, after Ben, the most entertaining act for me was The MacDonald Brothers...the audience loved them!
