Last month I topped up my prepay phone, that's when it really hit me..
 "..Your credit expires on 10th January 2000".

My oldest is 5. She's going to grow up in the 2000's.. She doesn't really
understand years yet, so 1999 will just be a number to her.. sometimes
I think about that and it seems really strange!

Right now I *really* want to see a rerun of "Space 1999" so I can laugh 
at it until I fall of my chair..
