They had electronic games when you were young Lou? you must be way younger than me!
I am completely shattered and need a break, starting to get to the stage I can't be bothered cooking and want takeaways - purely through laziness. I've resisted so far but think I'll have a quiet weekend this week and try to recharge my batteries.

Thanks Beanie, the next couple of weeks - thank goodness. I haven't felt this much in need of a break in ages.
Hope you are feeling a bit better yourself. I should stop moaning really, sorry.:oMortgage OP 2025 £6200/7000Mortgage OP 2024 £7700/7000
