    Ah how lovely Elfin, congratulations! :T:j And I would definitely like to hear about how it's been going; thanks so much for piping up as I was literally about to start trawling all the threads :rotfl:

    Thanks ISOM, I have already PMed her but thought perhaps she doesn't get on here any more.

    Thanks for the congrats everyone!

    Cerwiden, now you've got me really intrigued - what on earth do you think I'm up to? :D If you guess right I'll be totally freaked out by your telepathic powers! :D Let the games commence...

    Well I may be WAY off track on this - but I was looking at your signature and thinking "may be a connection there". I'm wondering if you're trying to work out some sorta scheme for helping people in these poorer countries to get maximum nutrition for minimum cash - in which case "all power to your elbow":T. Am I anywheres near remotely "warm" on this?

    Ah, thanks everyone. I feel very lucky and it is a fantastic experience so far! My sig has changed slightly if you want to see some recent developments... ;)

    QUOTE]

    Congratulations to you both Bails! How romantic :T

    There must be something in the air - on rather more English soil, my OH asked me to marry him whilst we were away in Suffolk last week :love:

    Ooh...the song "Love is in the Air"....is now resounding through my brain....

    :D Congratulations to you as well :D

    I DO like some good news for once...

    WOW, no way!! Congratulations Weezl :j (please pass on ISOM)
    ETA: ah, now I see why Weezl is elsewhere...two babies in a year?! My brother and I are a year and 4 days apart, after my parents had really struggled for many years to conceive. My dad nearly died of shock :rotfl: Congratulations again Weezl! :j For the first time in my life, I really am ready to become a mum :o

    Ceridwen, you're good! :D Not quite right but thinking along the right lines definitely...it's going to sound really anal but I can't talk about it on here until it's set up and running, which won't be for some time yet. Will let you know all about it if and when I can get it off the ground ;)

    :D ....only doing my "looking through the computer screen" thing I do again......doesnt look like I was far wrong re my suggestion to Bails?:D OOH....DO let us know more when the time is right Bails.....I'll certainly be interested to follow progress from afar..:D :T ISOM - do tell me I aint gonna be "persona non grata" in your books if I ever decide to supplement my income with a bit of that there psychic phoneline work? <grin> - not that I'd ever be likely to find the time - as you know...

    ISOM -Sorry to read in your earlier posts that the lodger didnt stay long - any others in prospect yet? Do drop me another PM some time to say how everything is going.....well I hope...

    Thanks Bails :D

    I've got all sorts of kinds of things I could talk about - is there anything you are particularly interested in? Also, I don't want to go hi-jacking Weezl's frugal eating thread if it will be a problem going off topic? What do people think?

    p.s. I should say that the lovely sparkly ring OH has given me was exempt from the challenge!!!
