    Staying loyal to his train obsession:D with mine it's footie and WWII:rolleyes:. Actually I think he's got The Boy in Striped Pyjamas somewhere so I might read that myself.

    I liked the film/tv thing of Goodnight Mister Tom.

    I don't know about that Bob - hopefully not but you never know... I just find it terrible that with interest rates so low they are charging more interest than ever!

    WoS

    Thanks for that but really it was just a case of plodding on even when I really wanted to give up! and not giving up when really irritating things happened like the washing machine giving up the ghost or the dying car:D. I spent as little as possible over the last few years and now the flat is falling to bits... oh joy!:rotfl:
