    I'm not a Rugby fan myself, sorry, but I've experienced the excitement and pride at football matches abroad in the distant past:j.

    And what a win it was:j. Makes the long journey home a lot easier when the results go right doesn't it?;). I know I said I'm not a rugby fan but I like to take notice of major happenings in various teams and sports.

    Finally home, brilliant trip, did lots of other things while we were there too but the most important thing was the game and of course the win........absolutely loved it.
    I did my usual.....jump up and down, scream, shout and wave of the flag :D not at all passionate here ;)

    I have had to use my emergency funds to bail out my son and his GF to save them from eviction.
    So I am back down to £100!
    When I die I will know that I have lived, loved, mattered and made a difference, even if in a small way.
