Same here, hun - She deserves it! Thanks, you guys! I just watched her win her quarterfinal match today, which I recorded. She was flawless! On to the semifinals on Thursday. It's nail biting time for me.

I can imagine that it is, hun! And I guess it explains why you're not here as much as usual right now...

It's the same everywhere, Irvin. I don't know if you've ever heard of a chocolate firm called Thornton's - They used to be based here where I live, and be one of the major employers in town before they moved to a bigger site a few miles away. A couple of days ago, they announced they were going to be closing 180 of their shops due to a fall in business. Plus we've had about three or four big high street chains go into administration over the past couple of weeks. So everyone is hurting, and that makes things even worse for folks like me who are trying to find a job at a time when those who are lucky enough to have one seem to be living day to day in fear of cuts and closures...

Sorry to hear that, hun - I know things are tough for a lot of folks right now, especially if they're in business for themselves. My dad works for himself, and he's worried that things are getting tougher and work is getting harder to come by. But at least our beautiful angel has a new movie in the works and a certain lady tennis player is into the final!!

I'm posting late because I just finished watching my recording of the match, and I didn't want to know the outcome before I watched it. I'm so happy for her! I'll probably be watching the final live on Saturday.
Yeah, things are bad all over, and it's mostly because of the gangsters who were in the White House for 8 years.

The politicians and bankers have got a LOT to answer for!
And I don't know if I'll be able to watch the final myself, but I'll be keeping my fingers crossed for her tomorrow and thinking of the stress you'll be going through.
