    Rach, I just hate it when things run on and you miss what you've planned, especially when it's relax time

    One thing I will miss when I go home, having extra long showers, when DPs here I can go to the shower block, water runs very fast and big drops (which I love) and I stay in as long as I want (within reason) I think I spent half an hour in there today which was bliss, home is always an economical shower.

    sexymouse well done!

    Had several bottles now but waiting until I have taken the dogs out before I have any more, don't want to fall over....
    One day I might be more organised...........:confused:
