    Hi Paris Kate,

    It is the song: Country Comforts by Rod Stewart, its from the Gasoline Alley album. My signature says if you ever feel alone then travel back on the road that brings you home :-)

    It is because I miss my Darling son and when he was 21. I made him a special birthday card with a poem I wrote as the verse.

    Strange thing was this song was playing when I was writing it and so thats the reason that I have it on my signature :)

    Just so as my son knows that I will always be here for him and I love him very, very much.

    So lots of love Angel and I hope you get to listen to it?

    God bless
    Budgie xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

    Jo (and others) PM me if you do want any advice I even have special bits of paper from somewhere proper....... with my name on them..and everything,,,,,,,,,,, Been studying/professionally working as a gardener for um erggg ummmm - 15 or so years now :) The PhD up here is my only real chance at employment up here unless I go self employed again - whilst I do bits I don't have the confidence to just be a self employed full time gardener again.

    :j :j :j :j :j :j :j :j


    Dear Lurky I am suprised didn't see you as a gardener, no reason why I didn't though? I think it was Eselt who said she had a dream about us all and she wondered if we were like she saw us in our dreams? I wonder too? Anyways Alan T good luck and have a great weekend, hope the Lovely Esther and family are helping ;) Hugs xxxxxxxxx Ps Afg now there's a thought ;)

    I try....:o - as soon as we can shift the family of foxes from the end of the garden, I want try my hand at keeping chickens :D

    how does Eselt see me? and you, come to that..... :eek: :eek:

    :DNeigh, neigh, and thrice neigh :D

    Hello, its going to take me ages to catch up with all the posts.
    Well i've been away with work and we drank, on the wed i had a small glass of wine. on Thurs we binged, in a big way, :eek:didn't touch a drop yesterday i could barely walk so had an early night. Unfortunately i'm now struggling to remember what i did, and i'm not enjoying what i do remember.:o Going out to see a band tonight, but i need to do some work first, so here goes.
    I think i may be upto 3AFD's
    Hope everyone is well

    Hi everyone

    Just finished tackling my bedroom . God that was a job and a half :eek:

    Just read something on the internet . Find out if you are overweight - find out your BMI here. So thought lets do that for a laugh.

    Enter weight : 10 st
    Height : 5ft 3

    Well I am not laughing

    The result : YOU ARE OVERWEIGHT YOUR BMI IS 27 :eek:

    Perhaps I need to lose a stone Instead of the 1/2 stone I was first aiming for .

    Teach me to procrastinate when I should be cleaning .

    OOOOOh I have chookies - only 2 but we get eggs every day - sorry Lurky no foxes here to bother hens. Thinking about getting a couple more but this house we are looking after (and paying rent) is probably going on the market next year - boo hoo. I want to stay here for the next 5 because then DD will be finished school - but they say they will sell it after my lease is over (1 1/2 years). garden is big and gorgeous!

    BB - Gardners arms - how lovely :)
