Have done so. The Tories will win our constituencies though, full of snobs here with too much money, I'm not one of them! ;-)

Dave I love it too. Only ever originally watched it for work (not wanting to be caught out going into work and not knowing who we'd be putting in the paper as PM!!!!) Now I find it fascinating Z

I went down first thing this morning on my way to work. Was just me and an elder lady there. Have to confess I only went that early in hope catching a real-life glimpse of this years ugliest candiate: http://www(.)conservatives(.)com/tile.do?def=people.person.page&personID=116803

I've been...it was a bit of a family outing, lol Hubby actually voted this year,(only taken me 10 years to convince him its important!!!) and our middle one came along for his first vote. Poor lad was a bit bemused by the whole campaign thing, but at least he had a go. It was really hard not to influence him to vote the same as i did, but i wanted him to make his own mind up. As for my eldest...she is in a right mood, she can't vote even though she is old enough. She didn't registered to vote when she was living away from home, and didn't realise it would stop her! It's been quite funny listening to her complain. Heaven help the country next time round, she will be on a mission and a half, lol. Yvette

Voted early this morning. I can't believe the number of young Mums at the school who say they can't be bothered. As far as I am concerned anybody who 'can't be bothered to vote' can't be bothered about anything. People can change things by voting. I don't care who you are going to vote for just get out there and do it. Women died to get us the vote. Jean x. (Off her soapbox now).

I went this morning! Everyone should go out and vote, if you don`t, then don`t complain about the state of the government. Who I voted for may not get in but at least I made an effort! xxx
