I fancied a little sicky but I've got 3 staff off and have to work the entire weekend as well , Thank God for the streaming commentary on line although I may have to rip the 52" plasma off the wall of the boardroom for a few days, hopefully no one will notice...

Can't wait, whatever happens England have deserved this but I just get a gut feeling the convicts might nick it, lets hope not.

Collingwood or Anderson ?? who'd you pick ??It's a toughie but I think we need another fast swing bowler

heart says anderson , head says collingwood.

Suspect it will be collingwood for all the talk of 'attacking' cricket - and despite the talking heads' opinions , I think it will be the right move.

Me neither!!!! Hopefully the excitement puts me into labour The other half has had to leave the room at the end of the last two; he couldn't deal with the excitement!

It has been really exciting! I really do hope the Aussies get shafted. When was the last time England had the ashes? Was it 81ish?

LOL ****.

I have been stopping and starting that post. I haven't been up long. The phone has rung three times and the neighbours have been hammering away since 7 am and its bugging me. Still it's no excuse; the truth is yes I am really that sad. I am desperate for the cricket to begin. It's all I have thought about since I rose this morning, I even have a nervous twitch in my leg.

I am peeing my pants in anticipation.

I don't think it's him - the dude that lives there is in his 80's, uses a zimmer frame, stannah stairlift and a hearing aid

I have my munchies all stocked up, the housework is done and I am ready for an afternoon of wetness on the couch with Mr Flintoff
