Thanks for your news last week, we asked the BBC's Defence Correspondent, Caroline Wyatt (above) to read your bulletin.
"Today I did the UK economy untold harm by taking our washing machine to bits and repairing it, instead of buying a new one.
Realised my dad is the reason why I am capable of drinking large quantities of alcohol...and also why I choose not to.
Handing out free breakfasts to cycle commuters in Lancaster for 'Bike to Work Day' in the pouring rain. A homeless man quietly asked for one, so I gave him a couple and now I'm wondering if he's ok.
Just been accepted for University at age 46. So excited I keep telling perfect strangers my news!
My MP received two hundred and fifty thousand pounds last year - I received five thousand.
After three weeks on the market, I got an offer for my parent's former home and, quite unexpectedly, found myself crying as I thought of all that had gone on within it's walls.
Turned 65 two months ago and still no pension payment. They say they've been too busy but they've had 64 years to get ready for it.
Just when I thought the week was going to end on a high note, my wife informed me that the party on Saturday night is fancy dress."

My name is mud having organised "Wrong Trousers Day" at work for this Friday and then booking annual leave and delegating it to my colleague to manage the logistics on the day itself.

Faith in justice restored, thanks to common sense magistrates and ace lawyers, who thwarted efforts by my ex-wife and Cafcass to end shared care of our daughter.
(Definitely worth iPM looking into Cafcass and how its unfounded judgements can wreck lives.)

Today I was thrilled and relieved to realise at 48 that bouncing out of bed fully awake and zippy is again my default after giving up alcohol completely six weeks ago and getting off the slippery-slope too-easy supermarket booze aisle after four years of trying.

Yesterday in my shop there was a Mrs Liberty who refused to catch my eye and racehorse The Osteopath - given in a loud voice in my bookies won the race at rewarding odds of 10-1 - which reminded me of a name on a bit of paper next to my telephone being given the frozen shoulder.

Have I nderstood right? Ed Milliband on Radio4 tonight (9.30pm or so) says that the PM's proposals for the Copenhagen Climate Conference in December are based on plans to help fund the developing world to structure their economies on a "different growth curve" to that followed by the developed world. That is, something other than capitalism?
How very strange! Could this be an admission from one of the Labour mafia that the establishment fetish about the current (growth) model is precisely what created the problem in the first place? And they expect that developing nations bear the brunt of the inevitable sacrifices?
My first reaction is to see this as a countinuation of the imperialist self-interest which underpins globalization - it must be more subtle than that?
Whatever, we must surely first put our own house in order?

Sorry, I have posted to the blog without realising what is required.
I should have said:
"Today on Radio4, a head peeped over the ramparts: a Government minister (Ed Milliband) acknowledged that in order to avert global warming we must rid ourselves of the capitalist growth fetish."

I want to inform the world about the murder which happened in Ukraine: deputy of the parliament, chief of regional police and chief of regional prosecutor's office killed an ordinary walking man to have fun. All the Ukraine discusses it, but the news is not in English anywhere. I translated the issue, it can be found here http://zoyashu.blog.com and http://newsinukraine.blogspot.com
Please, pay attention to this brutal violation of human rights

This week I am willingly taking part in an over 60's bowel cancer screening programme which I am unable to describe in detail but let me just say that it does give a new slant on the words 'pooh sticks'!
