Last week Summer was able to get someones exact home address (which just happened to be Ramsey Street) from their IP address that she somehow managed to get from a message they’d sent her on a dating website.

This week so far three people on the street have sued, counter sued and counter counter (?) sued each other – and of course good old Toadie was their lawyer, that boy must earn a fortune, he’s never out of work!

Someone mentioned the accutane lawsuit in a thread on a Neighbours board I post on (yes, I post on Neighbours message boards, Dr Karl Kennedy is a member on one of them I will have you know!) and I did a little reading about it on Accutanelawsuit.net who have loads of information on the case and offer help and advice to those affected who may be entitled to compensation. Accutane is an acne medication that has been known to cause some pretty serious side effects as it’s being given to people who really don’t need it, it’s intended for really bad cases only – and there’s another reason to be glad I am passed those spotty teenage years and no longer get acne.

There didn’t seem to be that much great stuff on this year though – the soaps were depressing as usual. Does Eastenders really need another “whodoneit” storyline? Gavin and Stacey wasn’t even a Christmas special. I didn’t enjoy The Royal Family. I was glad that Ali won the Strictly Come Dancing special but again didn’t really enjoy watching it. The Doctor Who special was OK but reminded me why I only really watch it cos it’s on and not because I am obsessed about it like a lot of people seem to be – it wasn’t a patch on that one with the scary water people!

In fairness I had not thought of him until after the what’s on TV article I read which listed the possible suspects, but as soon as he was in the mix I thought it was pretty obvious.

Heather had called him a businessman and he’s the only one (sans Phil, maybe?) who could be classed that way as he runs the car lot and does auto insurance quotes. But if that wasn’t clue enough he proposed to Libby and she said yes…every thing was going so well for him and he was waxing lyrical about how lucky and happy he was…in soap land that only ever means one thing and that’s that things are about to go very, very wrong!

I remember my best friends mum used to go and have one done every few months and as my friend got older she started getting them also. I got invited along many times but was a bit scared of it I think.

I was watching an episode of Eastenders a few weeks ago when Mo Harris was giving them for £5, totally untrained and just another rip off from her of course, but it led to some funny moments on the show.

That’s what made me start thinking about it again and I mentioned it to a couple of people and that’s when one of them said they knew someone who’d do one for me for free (they are trying to get their business off the ground).

I really think I should take up the offer, it’s a pretty sweet opportunity to get something I want for free and my friend has said she’ll go with me.

So yes, I think I have decided I am going to go for it. I will let you know how I get on.

Oh well, I found some nice sites with a great collection of books to choose from at great prices so it was not a complete disaster.

Now, I just need to find the time to actually read them!

They all rely on Dot and Heather in the launderette with their machines and pressure washers.

I know that Walford isn’t meant to be a rich area, but come on, every one has a washing machine at home in this day and age.

Neighbours have photos in all the houses. The Kennedy household is probably my favourite for it because they have pictures of all their kids who were once in the soap but moved on to pastures new, as well as their new partners and kids that we as viewers have never met and if you look very closely you can even see a few college diploma frames , I wish I had HD TV so that I could see which of the kids it is meant to belong to, I am a complete nerd like that

Just a few episodes ago they took pictures of Ringo, with Zeke and Declan, at his AFL inauguration party and I just know that in a few days time they will appear somewhere in the household along with the other pictures and diploma frames

On the telly people decide they are going to move on Monday and are in their new gaff by Tuesday. Apparently soap characters don’t need to get a moving quote like the rest of us mere mortal types.

I suppose I shouldn’t complain though, let’s be honest it wouldn’t make for very interesting TV if they did show all that!
