    Toots - pales into significance though in the scheme of things. Your post just shows how wonderful tou are - yes DS still in Germany, loving every minute, though he needs to learn 'miranda' (when he reads them there rites) in every language as it's full off all nationals being the main camp. He said last week to an Italian "uno arresto!!! He's going to Cyprus in July on a posting for 2 months. Fingers crossed it's nowere else, as we buried a village lad on wednesday who was in Afghanistan, 22 Jordan was - so sad

    Froddington - doesn't take it away though does it? I WANT/NEED a miracle cure! Though the odd alcoholic drinky poos helps! LOL :beer:

    Nope, certainly doesn't. I'm thinking amputation though that may be a bit drastic :rolleyes: :p :rotfl: Drink may help, but I don't drink when I'm in on my own!

    We've got our school fayre tomorrow - can't believe it looks as though the weather will be good :D Not so pleased about getting up early on a Saturday though :rolleyes: Think some of us will go for a pub lunch afterwards to reward ourselves ;)

    bonemonkey - we don't buy and sell on this thread, we support each other in getting ourselves/home organised. Somewhere like ebay would suit you better for getting rid of furniture.

    Your more than welcome to come fly with us though whenever you want to :)
