Yesterday I gave you one of my top tips. Here's another. When it's someone's birthday in a couple of weeks time it's a good idea to buy the present early, wrap it up and taunt them with it every so often. It guarantees that you get treated well right up the the birthday. Well that's the theory anyway.

My cough has almost gone but now my back has taken up the baton so I'm limiting my time on the PC because it certainly makes it a lot worse. Apologies therefore that I'm not doing much commenting but I'll get there eventually!
