Hi everyone,

Sorry I haven't replied to the replies I had to my last entry yet, I fully intend to (and I am really grateful for all the wonderful advice) but it's all been up in the air today because my brother Richie (long-suffering brother who attends all the Merlin expo panels for me and texts me info) is in Japan on holiday. We heard he was ok and just stranded somewhere at about lunchtime today, but now there is this nuclear emergency and he's only about 70 miles away from the power station. My mum and I deal with this sort of family stress is very different ways, she likes to go on and on about it and imagine worst case scenarios, I like to try and not think about it until I know anything for certain. As you can imagine, these methods do not mesh well.

Anyway, I just wanted to say that all my thoughts are with those in Japan right now, and anyone affected by it, or who has friends and family anywhere affected xx
