something vague

What a fabulous feel good video Fran, I pop back now and then. I didnt realise I was missed SV

Oh BD you've reminded me of that lovely Wallace Collection song Daydream I would love a copy of that for my ipod! I didnt get any further with checking out the Beta Band but will eventually. The Verve that you recommended was lovely and hippy trippy I'll keep an eye out for the Aliens. However....when I went to Manchester a friend took me to a cool cheap record store there and picked out 14 albums that he knows I'll love so I got quite a lot of music to digest just now. At present I'm obsessing over Patti Smith. I knew some of her stuff but wow, she's 100% consistant SV

I went to see these last night in Manchester They were fabulous, well worth the journey

I might be able to make it and I'm fine with either York or Newcastle.

I hope i havent used a trade name there! Has anyone discovered body sox. We have been loaned one of these for a pupil at school. It is a lycra rectangular 'bag' with a long openning at the front which velcros shut. A person can climb into the bag and feel enclosed and secure. He can lay down in it and stretch his limbs against the material. We have found that the bag has an immediate calming effect on some of our pupils when they have become over stimulated. I would send a photo if I knew how. I think they are very expensive but look quite easy to make

HI, I work in a school, in an autism base. I find weighted blankets to be very calming for our pupils. I have recently made mini weighted blankets out of pillowcases. I use those long wheat bags that are infused with lavendar and can be microwaved for treating stiff necks etc. I wrap them with wadding and stitch them into the pillow case in channels and fill other channels with just wadding. I find 3 wheat bags ideal. I make a soft fleecy cover for the weighted 'pillow'. A couple of our pupils love these, they are a good size to hold on their head and cover their ears, or to hold on their shoulder or on their knees when sitting. Hope that helps someone

Hello, I havent been hear for a while I couldnt resist Glossop...Particularly malicious rumours spread by painters. Melbury Bubb... An oversized pompom on a woolly hat. Shellow Bowells...The bits of bread that sink to the bottom of the pond untouched by the ducks. Hopton Wafers...The bits of biscuit that float in your coffee after dunking. Grike...The annoying crease that you get if your not carefull when ironing.

Errmm they weren't ribbed tights, they were laddered

OK I'll be there. You'll recognise me by my balaclava, two coats, leg warmers and snow shoes. I think its gonna be a cold one!

Thats brilliant Now don't be so glib about next year's effort I think it should be a delivery room scene....caesarian section of course Oh I wish i had little kiddies still, I so wanna make that scene and see the teacher's face SV

Misery...Stephen King. I've seen the film and the play so thought it was about time to read the book . I cant think of a good smiley for Misery so ......

LOL that Running Man video made me think of this....CLASS

I'll be there, but only cos the Chuckle Brothers are sold out Looking forward to seeing you SV

We had 5 guests at our wedding It was lovely. Then we went to my house for the reception where we had about 9 guests. We had ham sandwiches and cream cakes BTW Hev does your avatar ever stop for a cuppa or a wee?

Heaven help us, Baggy's learned how to do links!! Actaully i rather like both of those songs. My all time fave Cranberries song is this one http://youtube.com/watch?v=BPLXJAWUnwI&feature=related SV

Call me a true friend You owe me for this. I had to watch it to make sure it was ok (no naughty bit ) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4y-YTx7zvvs xx

Sounds like a match made in heaven I'm reading Ann Tyler's 'The Accidental Tourist'. I'm loving it, very funny in a kind of dry and ironic way. I like books where not a lot happens....just exploring human nature and relationships I guess.

I hope you get something more interesting to do at work. I wonder if anyone has made a video of clothes drying on a washing line, billowing in the wind. i would buy it...find it very calming SV

I remember Phas too. I admired his knowledge and his commitment. My thoughts are with his family.

Pearl, I found a lovely one for you. You might be familiar with the group already Just thought you might like the folksy vibe

Now i really liked that video Wonder is Ian Jordan had an influence in it LOve it! Not sure about the sont tho.....was OK, if you like that sort of thing Now here's a guy who once wrote/sang 'In a perfect world we'd all sing in tune But this is reality so give me some room' He may not have the voice of an angel but he's made some cracking songs... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iqH_xqh0eVw
