4th and final child just come down with chicken pox....not sure I will be "slattering" for a few days yet. But like the philosophy ...its really impressive when you list out what you do...and as someone once said you need to be highly efficient to be lazy"

mulranno
Survive 4 children with the chicken pox would be a good start to your list. Administer calamine, drink copious tea etc. Best of luck with it!

Hi Alice, just got back from run (sometimes wonder if you are nearby and might see me). Hot even now. Won't complain, really sunny weather ends today according to the BBC. Need to go to bike shop so I can fix bike or else I have some long walks this afternoon, might do that as my 'cool-down' walk.

At least if I ever imagine I see you I can ask the person in question 'are you Alice?'. Less easy if I imagine I see MuppetsMuggle for example ('are you a muppet?' ), absolutely impossibly with some MNers ('Anyfucker?' )

Well done you! I live in newmarket town, by the police station.
