Apparently it was highly amusing to nickname me Flipper at school, and I acquired the extra 'r' on account of the marriage thing. Always best to remain semi-anonymous on the interweb me thinks - particularly when some people I work with might feel the need to stalk me from time to time! Happy days!

But she is family. So she wins. I'm not sure what she wins. There's no prize. And really Mat - you're as much a part of this family as anyone. Hmmm... What don't you have a gravyateher? Flipperr isn’t a Hoyland either! But she is family. So she wins.

I’m not sure what she wins. There’s no prize. And really Mat - you’re as much a part of this family as anyone.

Hmmm…

What don’t you have a gravyateher?

I still haven't left any feedback yet. Part of me thinks I may as well just leave it seeing as I didn't actually lose any money and got some different tickets anyway, but the other part really wants to leave bad feedback! I don't think I've felt brave enough to do it yet! Have I left it too long now? And hello Flipperr. I'm not a Hoyland.

And hello Flipperr. I’m not a Hoyland.

I didn't know that was how you spelt it... sorry for getting it wrong in all the Christmas cards I probably don't get round to sending... Welcome to the blog - sorry it has taken me a day or two to aprove your comment - I haven't been online much lately. Thanks for the congrats! It's only three weeks or less or more now which is fun and exciting. The bathroom will be finished... On the eBay thing I just this very minute got an email from eBay confirming what Mike said - sellers can no longer leave negative feedback about buyers so you should all feel safe. Well. As safe as you can with interweb shopping... YAY Flipperr… I didn’t know that was how you spelt it… sorry for getting it wrong in all the Christmas cards I probably don’t get round to sending…

I hear about this blog all the time from Matt, so I thought it was time to say 'hello'! Just so as not to lose the thread completely, I've also had similar e-bay dilemmas and I still don't know what to advise - it depends how brave I feel on the day! - what was the outcome? Other than that, congrats to Andy and Gloria on the imminent arrival (I'm guessing Matt hasn't said anything, being a bloke and all!) - and Gloria: has anyone sung the praises of gas and air? - it's great!! Lastly, did you hear about our chance encounter with Susie last Sun? V bizarre since we were in Brighton for just the night, but we'll hold her to her promise to visit Hastings again before she leaves! (of course the invitation is open to any other Hoylands down this way too!) (Hi, it’s cousin in law - just in case my name is a little too obscure!)

He he, 4th time was the charm for me, I actually managed to do it without anyone getting whacked *g* I can get sucked in by the games but get far more distracted by Mumsnet and the “Am I Being Unreasonable” forum, which can easily suck hours out of my day without me noticing!

I'd never have got any work done! Why are games like that so addictive? I haven't tried the Japanese one again because I probably won't be able to remember how to do it and that'll infuriate me even more than trying it the first time round did!
