MmeL, if there are no posts ready today, I have a rehashed version of 'Twas the night before Christmas' that could go on the blog. I'll upload it to drafts if you'd like a look.

Ok, I've stuck it in the drafts. It's ready to go if no one else has anything for today.

I can't find the drafts section on the blog

AF, if you log in and go to Edit posts, you'll find a list of all the blog posts.

"There are some upon this earth of yours," returned the Spirit, "who lay claim to know us, and who do their deeds of passion, pride, ill-will, hatred, envy, bigotry, and selfishness in our name, who are as strange to us and all our kith and kin, as if they had never lived. Remember that, and charge their doings on themselves, not us."

Working on a Christmas post trying to work in quotes from Dicken's A Christmas Carol in with headlines and quotes from 2011.

It's quite hard actually!

thanks knotty, will have another try

shirl, that sounds awesome !

I have given up, knotty

and my pc is running really slow for some stupid reason

just post it anyway...the more the merrier

Ok, it's now on the blog.

Good luck with yours, Shirl. It sounds amazing.

I know what you mean about it being hard: I've got so much info on the decline in children's mental health. Trying to summarise it into a blog post is making my brain ache.

Am reading the comments on this BBC article and frothing
www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-16253389

Sounds fab, Shirley.

Knotty.
That is sheer genius. I love Dave and Gid and the milk stealer line. Laughed my socks off.

bugger, see a few posts above for linky

Nice one MmeL :) - how are you feeling today btw?

Feelling a bit better, thanks AF, although think that is the drugs. Xray was clear.

Good q MissM. He answered it.

Waiting to see if he answers my (too long) Q.

sorry, got dgo on knee, and can't type properly

I just asked this on the Gransnet webchat with Vince Cable.

AvadaKedavra

Has Mr Cable heard of the Every Disabled Child Matters campaign against 50% cuts to the Tax credits enhancements for disabled children that the Government is proposing/has proposed which Mumsnet is also supporting?

www.mumsnet.com/Talk/mumsnet_campaigns/1361867-Cuts-to-benefits-paid-to-families-with-disabled-children-what-do-you-think?pg=1

What are your thoughts on this matter?

I think it is very low to sneak in a cut like that to the absolutely most vulnerable people in society, who cannot fight back.

Also what are your thoughts on the fact that Mr Cameron in PMQs last week lied about the cuts saying there would be none?

Thank you for your time.

Vince Cable's answer....

I don't know the answer to your question, without checking, but I am sure my colleagues wouldn't knowingly take steps which damaged disabled children. I'll raise it with colleagues.

My answer to that?

hmm

That is a non-answer

he doesn't know anything about it ?

my arse...
