Nil illigitimi carborudum is generally thought to mean don't let those jolly nasty people who were born out of wedlock get you down but in fact carborundum isn't even a latin word. It's a graphite type substance used for grinding I believe. Noli nothis permittere te terere is actually a closer translation. A poly what? Oh, polyglot! Hmm, Mein deutsch ist nicht sehr gut!

The book is out in autumn 09 and in German - not that that should be a problem for a polyglot like you x Hi VLiF, I got the first one, but my O level 400 years ago is not up to decoding the second …think I get the spirit, though, and thank you!

What would we do without the little dears and their insatiable demands, er, sweet capricious ways!?<br/><br/>Slippers, you are such a comfort.

There - can't be long now ....<br/><br/>Anon, how lovely you are and such a salve to my wounds. Isn't Dulwich fab?<br/><br/><br/>Dear NMO, your Mum was so right. But can I have two hours, please?<br/><br/>PottyMummy, what a great idea, I will see if I can find the tune on that YouTube thingy - could do with a jolly ditty I must say!

Dear NMO, your Mum was so right. But can I have two hours, please?

I suggest you listen to Ali in the Jungle by The Hours (check it out on u-tube) - it always puts a spring in my step. Any song that begins 'It's not how you start, it's how you finish' is OK by me. Though must admit the last time I recommended it to someone in the cyber world she wasn't keen, so who knows? I love it, in any case. And guess what - it's great to exercise to. Though maybe it's just me who needs the motivation there... It’s so tempting to wallow – but it feels so much better not to.
