Husband Rocks - he did get me that paid account after all. I have my icons back! As well as this beaut off ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
purple_pirate from the old PGFF. Mmmmm, that boy's so purdy when he's sad!
Vi is toying with us - she actually slept through, in her cot all night, no less, from 11 til 7 on Thursday and remained very sleepy all Friday. And then last night we actually have to give her two night feeds for the first time in about a month and she's been awake pretty much all day - even when we took her out in her pushchair, which is usually when she goes straight off to Fairyland. Apart from needing an awful lot of grub today she has actually been very good - Claire came down for the afternoon and the four of us went out for lunch, and even though she was awake Vi was virtually angellic.
I am so sick of Comic Relief already. It's just... *sigh*... it just all seems so very lame. I know it's all in a good cause, but I really wonder how much of what people give actually goes to hungry kiddies in hot countries etc etc. Have you noticed that even with the red noses and red nose badges only 60p of the pound you give goes to Comic Relief? So who gets the other 40%? I ain't being funny, but when I buy a poppy I expect all of the donation to go to the poppy appeal, ditto with other charities I buy badges for - breast cancer and so on. We used to do these poxy 'charity' features at the paper and only 10% went to the charity - us sales grunts kept complaining and eventually the bosses upped it... to 15%. The company would make *so* much money off of the charity's name. It makes me cross. Next thing you know, scout leaders and headteachers everywhere will be taking their cut to pay for the baked beans they'd been sponsored to sit in. Don't even get me started on El Tel's Children in Need Fee. He claims he never asked for it and doesn't want it. Fucking well give it back, then!
Oh, by the way - I sold out to my teenaged self in the end. We downloaded 'Shine'. And I still really like it! It sounds like The Feeling, only with Northern accents. Plus they rhyme 'yourself' with 'your health', which amuses me, having an accent which does actually stick an F on the end of 'health'.
