    Hello all, finally managed to come back on after having a totally c**p time for more than a week and what do I find ?? No MSE over the weekend :rolleyes: and Shelly taking a nose dive _pale_ _pale_ . I`ve come over all peculiar now.
    Just been skimming through all the pages to catch up `cos I `pulled up the drawbridge` as someone else put it !!
    Sometimes get spells like that - ( suffer from depression) and when you live with 2 teenagers and DH who had a heart attack in September and is waiting for a bypass op, it`s like living in a war zone at times. But enough of my problems.

    Well done Shelly, I could never do that - you wouldn`t even get me in the cage thingy to start with - never mind launch my self out of the bloomin` thing !!
    Nice to see Kathy is almost back in our midst again, she`ll have masses to catch up on.

    Might see some of you on the `alternative` forum ( Wooligans).

    May pop back later but if not - have a good weekend everyone.
