    Looks like i've missed something there.
    SW, even you are not allowed to say you're stupid - so stop it!!

    I know i said i wouldn't be posting for a bit, but jeez.
    Kind of a hectic month this one with first my dad sleeping in the computer room, then my nieces coming down (so computer was turned off at the mains so i didn't get another fried motherboard) and now my mum is going to be sleeping in here!! Dad will be going into hospital for a hip replacement next week so he's trying to get as much relaxation and rest as possible right now.

    Work is still a bit bleugh. I'm not working at home or anythign any more, but it's just so busy that i don't have time to do the coding. So many other things that are said to be urgent keep coming my way, but i'll need to just keep to a strict policy or it will never get done.

    Still not feeling quite right and found i am shallow breathing at times on crowded trains. Will need to get the exercise into a routine and stick to it. Hopefully that will at least make me a little calmer.

    Slightly nervous about Saturday, but looking forward to it too. Thanks for the kind words - i thought i was just quiet and wierd :D

    Will post later with the financial stuff etc. Just wanted to pop on to see how everyone was.

    Hiya George - sorry things are still not that good for you, but at least you aren't working at home now, which is just as well by the sounds of it in your house :eek:

    Really looking forward to meeting you on Saturday, and meeting Beanie too - it will be great and I promise that Steve, Andy and I will keep Kit in order ;);) Well, you of all people know what she is like pet :p
