Is it the story on BBC News? :frown:

Still praying :hugs:

Thanks, I'm not upset because I'm not sure anymore whether I ever met them properly or not but it must be really hard for her son. Yeah...They keep pronouncing their surname wrong, I think I'll have to tweet them.

Over the last few weeks I can't stop thinking that I shouldn't feel happy when so many people are suffering out there. :sad:

Seems so hard to live in such a way that you can be happy and then there is the small matter of saving the environment. I definitely have too much spare time to think about this :smile:

I think you're definitely overthinking the last bit. It's easy to become unhappy at the state of the world around us and we live in worrying times, for sure... but there are things to be thankful for and things to be celebrated and be happy about too :yes:

Don't worry, tiz the thought that counts. Besides, prayers for me would be more useful :colondollar:

Thanks! My dad has provided me with a broken suitcase, which he is going to "mend" :s-smilie:

Hope that all turns out OK :erm:

I'm slowly getting there. Just a few last bits and bobs for my sister, then I have to complete my ESTA and basically wipe out my bank accounts in order to afford everything. NYC is SO expensive (we're going there for two days!) :sigh:

Tiz my first time going, so atm I'm like this: :excited:

It was looking like Broadway would be too expensive (online ticket prices are horrific) BUT we're going to the discount ticket booth the day before to try and get a good deal, AND my younger sister gave me a present of $150 towards Broadway in NYC or lobster in Boston - whichever I prefer :biggrin:

So we shall see. We've bought a New York Pass thing which gets us entry into lots of attractions, so we're doing stuff like the Empire State Building and the Statue of Liberty on that, as well as a Broadway walking tour (or two :colondollar:

One has music you can listen to whilst you walk :gah:

Totally not gonna dance in the middle of the street in the hope that people will drop what they're doing and join in. Knowing all the choreography and lyrics beforehand of course! :ninja:

). I studied jazz for my AS Level Music course and so am dying to go to the Cotton Club in Harlem, as well as doing some general sightseeing around Harlem too. Cotton Club buffet dinner and jazz night costs quite a bit ($55) but has to be done! :awesome:

So yeah, a lot to pack into 2 days :eek:

OK peeps, Boston trip is getting closer. Think I'm nearly done with everything: just need to buy some digestive biscuits, print off **** and then actually pack everything. Though I think my dad has decided he is packing my bag :s-smilie:

This could be interesting :ninja:
